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.

My dad had a toyota dolphin lived in it for like 5 years made like 6 2000+ mile trips to california and back to Wisconsin. Was a nice.rv

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.

Nice, I have a 86 clipper,that's been gutted for weight and rebuilt . The 22 re is a amazing motor.

Dang there's some beautiful old Toyota out there ... lucky find!

It looks to be in really good condition. You have a rare find there 😊. Enjoy your travels 👍

I don't think we can call them "midgets" anymore. It's "FUN SIZED"! 😆

Hey thank you ! Funny good humor and informative. I appreciate it since I'm looking at 1 to buy right now this helps to see what to expect.

Thanks for the tour. Safe travels.

Frankly speaking, I love it. Especially use 1987 to build this van.

Is there anyway to lighten the load on truck to get better gas mileage? I know keeping waste tanks drained is one way but is there a way to update certain things like a lighter fridge stove and sink?And how is the insulation of vehicle?

Good video, cool little rig.

The one thing I wanted to see was the rear bed. I would have traded that for the instructions for smoking with a vent window.

Great video! Love the music.

Can you tell me if this model had the aluminum frame/fiberglass vs the stick n metal sheeting? I know the few models that are very obviously one or the other but I cannot find info on these obscure models! Thanks :)

I really like your presentation! You got a really sweet rig there! This is the rig I originally wanted, and the name of that rig was Lucy. 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!

As soon as the musicstarted I subbed😂

Love the rig

I’d rock this! 🤘🏼

That's a lot of weight for a 4 cyclinders.

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

Nice RV. I remember 1987 quite well.

Nice tour i love those rv's 😃 what is the fuel economy on those awesome old rigs tho ?

Hi Dimitri, about 15-17 mpg. Its a pretty heavy rig. But with its toyota engine its pretty darn reliable. Just don't expect to go over 70mph :)

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.

Nice! I may buy a 82 with 36k miles.

it looks to be in great shape

Not a window for cigarettes it's a vent to keep the front windshield from getting foggy

I appreciated this, funny & well done. We just got a 1989 Dolphin, very similar & these things are special. Still have yours?

I need that to live in..nice rv man

Can it be winterized?

Lovely looking Toyota motorhome. This is my idea of what a motorhome should be. Small enough for anyone to drive who has a standard driver's license.

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.

At times the V-6 may get better as in big hills or mountains where more HP is needed or used. Flat land both do well.

My 1985 Toyota New Horizon does not have a cruise control. Overdrive is an extra lower gear so not used on a long pull uphill. It will downshift until it finds the best gear it needs to climb "that" hill.

They had problems and Toyota became fed up with the lawsuits. Rear axle and drivetrain issues, costly to repair and replace!

Hilarious !!

LOL at the 80's montage. Bahaha.
