I parked 3 days in a raging rain and wind storm in Jacumba, CA and another time in raging winds in Octotillo Wells BLM area for 3 days and stayed warm and dry in my Toyota Sunrader RV. Those were some of the best and worst days of my life in my little lifeboat with nowhere to call home.

I found a 1989 Toyota dolphin for 7000 last weekend and bought it. It’s a six cylinder. The engine and the interior was partly rebuilt in 2006. It’s in good shape. Everything‘s working on it, but I want to change a few things.

Wow I’ve got this car. With around 500k on the clock she performs well. She is the only car I have that survives 5 kids lurking around and survives them getting their drivers license. I have no idea how it survives 3 fires. Yes she has court fire 3 times. She also makes fun of other so called off road vehicles. Exasperated at the vehicles with roof top tents. When I Chan up all 4 wheels etc

Well that rig sold very quickly as you can imagine 😜 so we found another rig maybe you could call it a distant cousin well it was a 1977 Dodge Mallards class C! We call her Lucy! As in the longest trailer the movie with Lucille Ball and Desi arnez. I got a big 360 V8 all done over high performance! How I would have loved the fuel economy of that 4 Cylinder!

My aunt and uncle had one of these and they traveled all over the US and Mexico with it. In regard to power, I use a 97 Toyota with essentially this same engine and have pulled a 16 foot Scamp through and in every state between here and the west coast (WI, MI, S. Dakota, N. Dakota, MN, WY, MT, ID, OR, WA) and it does fine. It's not like driving a V8 powered vehicle but on the other hand I average probably around 16-18 MPG(?) maybe a little better. One gas fill I got 27 MPG. I suspect that was an error in calculations or just an anomaly associated with wind and decline when driving east in Montana. MPGs in excess of 20 MPG are common. To put less of a load on the engine I often drive in 4th gear (a 5 speed trans). I usually travel 55-60 mph but it'll cruise at 70 if I like. Headwinds are sometimes a pain and steep mountain passes are slow but then again so am I! In short - Toyota quality in regard to design and build.

I get 18 -19 mpg with my '84 because it has a 5-spd manual transmission. I'm in and out of gas stations quick while the Class A RVs keep on pumping fuel. Don't tell them what your fuel mileage is- they don't want to hear it. The little engine is a workhorse, just don't ask it to haul that motorhome box uphill at highway speeds- it will keep losing speed as long as you're climbing.
