Great find . I paid $3,700 for a 1991 warrior with a lot more miles on it and have put thousands into it to make it right . Keep us up to date on the solar and other projects !
Nice! I have a 92 Toyota Winnebago Mini Warrior V6. Mint condition till we were ran into a concrete barrier on the interstate by Tampa Fire Department. We paid 4200.00. So, now we need to get her back in top top condition! Enjoy your Beauty!
Very cool!!! I really really want to get one of these!!! Exactly like this!!! I can't believe how much space it has and how big the bathroom actually is!!!! Lucky!!!
I watched your video and I happy you found a Winnebago in your price range. The other ones I saw needed help and I’m excited this one doesn’t. I like the longer videos because it shows more of the updating process. Keep up the excellent work 👍👍.
My dad has one too! The stripes are a different color and it didn't come with a generator. Its pretty nice tho after we got the leaks taken care of. He also put those tow mirrors people get for towing trailers so he can actually see! We also replaced the refrigerator and the toilet.
Thank you guys for the video. Looking to buy a Toyota Greenville late 90s rv. This was informative in order to remodel some things to save energy, gas etc. Thank you.
I think the blue breaker actually switches from 110V inverted power to 12V battery power. Probably everything in the RV is 12V DC except for the air conditioner.
I drove a Nissan version of this setup back in the 1980s. Now that I think about it, it might have been a cabover camper, ha ha. I think these would be awesome candidates for a Cummins Repower upgrade. That R22 engine is bullet proof, but is basically gutless.
Absorption refrigerators don't use Freon, they have an ammonia solution that works on heat (vs pressure). When my 2nd Dometic went out, I replaced it with a compressor one (12VDC/24VDC/120VAC) with auto-transfer. Love it, and it will work up to 30° off level, and cools down in an hour. I have a '93 Itasca Spirit with 38K on it. You guys got a real steal!
If you are plugged into shore power it won’t matter for the switch because the power will switch from dc to ac when you unplug shore power it switches back everything but fridge microwave and ac. I’ve also thought people liked the sunrader more because it’s only two piece less likely to leak
It's a inverter, like you said, changes from 12 to 110 volts as needed. The 12 volt lights will work the inverter will change 110 to 12 volt for its needs.
The blue switch is your breaker for the converter/transfer switch, not the inverter. The converter, converts12v battery to 110 volt, and the transfer switch transfers between the 2 panels (AC and DC). It converts everything except the air conditioner which is 120 volt. That blue breaker is the main breaker of the AC panel. BTW - unless you have solar with an inverter installed, there is no fuse in your panel for the inverter, which has its own line fuse.
Great deal! I love campers. And that thing is going to be nice! The thing under the chair is a 12v DC to 110V AC converter. For the lights and pump etc.. when not plugged into the mains. Also look into getting LOTS of solar panels on top so you always have full batteries.
What a good find ! It looks like it’s good shape for its age . I wouldn’t mind finding one for Myself . Some had the 22RE engine . The V6 is the better choice .
Leons going to have a new episode about living in the rv for the last few months. Should be out sometime this week. You can watch it on Leonsgarageadventures search for that on youtube and you will find it. Ill be sure to comment back in a few days and leave the episode link.
If I could find a decent example, I'd have the interior stripped down to just the bare essentials, and then upgrade *everything* that can be upgraded, to bring it up to the year 2020. Including wi-fi, Bluetooth, Amazon "Alexa", etc.
Great video guys and YES I WANT ONE JUST TO SAY "SH*TTERS FULL!" on a regular basis (TANK FULL OR NOT!). Plan on buying robe, boots and HAT to match the legend "UNCLE EDDIE"!! Nice Breaking Bad bit there as well but maybe throw a couple strips of duct tape on door just for kicks?? Can't remember if you guys said V6 or 22r/re. Honestly, I'd like to snag a 22R and throw a Weber Carb kit, header and nice pipe kit on it. I've done a few Toy & Nissan trucks with this rather cheap mod (under $1200 total) and power is impressive. MPG, believe it or not, actually improved tremendously as long as you keep your foot out of it. Climbing hills always bugs me just because I've seen slow rv/cars get hit from behind by careless drivers. Anyway, great video and great attitudes as well, thank you.
I've been interested in Toyota truck based motorhomes since I was a little boy, when I was way too young to drive. I'd buy one if I knew someone who also likes to travel. I'd also upgrade a few things, give it a more 21st century functionality to it.
Im tempted to buy an rv just to have a guest house next to my house for when people come to visit. In florida you can buy a 2 bedroom rv for under a grand.
@@thousanddollarcarguy I like to travel. I like to visit various parts of Washington state, that's where I'm from, Oregon, Nor-Cal, and possibly Idaho and Western Montana. And I don't need a 40' behemoth to travel the country. I don't see myself living *full-time* in an RV. I'd store it in a garage during the fall and winter months while traveling in it during the spring and summer months, starting it from time to time, to make sure everything works like they should. :)
I'm thinkin ' yank my black (Dave Mathews) tank and go with a composting toilet. Put a new (2nd) potable tank in its place. Possibly yank , or keep the propane h2O heater but use a small on demand (electric or propane idk yet) as far as the furnace; go with something like the Espar parking heater maybe tapped into the fuel tank.
Buying a RV ....is like buying a boat! After a $hit load of money and work Lots of folks are like get this Gone! I’m done spending ! Before I have to start over again!
Your right about that. Currently he says its still one of the best purchases he ever made. And is still currently living in it. As of 2/28/19 at least lol.
Every thingis 12 volt except the pug outlets . It has a converter that is also a battery charger . The only time you have 115 is when you are plugged in to shore power ,just saying
Instead of buying that generator that you got why don't you go to the dealer get a diesel generator and put in there and let's do it right. you can always charge for the labor and the generator and get your money back and then send back that other thing it probably won't work good get a diesel regular generator or is there electrical problems too that you can't fix please sir would you mind fixing this up I'm very interested in it
I. M. Well sorry to say my sunrader is a 1990 and yes it’s the six cylinder 3.0 vze same engine as in my 92 warrior. Now I’m not sure if they made any 4wd sunraders with the six but they did make others
@@thousanddollarcarguy I just bought one here in Ireland 🇮🇪 1990 3.0 53000 miles , was your engine OK did you have to do any changing parts on it what would advise me to change on it love the video you have
@@openureyes i think we replace the alternator only to find it was a wire that got chewed through by a mouse. Being this old i would probably keep a few extra fuses and relays handy so you dont get stuck somehwere over something simple. Otherwise a oil flush is probably always recommended. Usually and with the low miles these sit for a long time and the oil and bushings go bad from not being used or lubricated. Id say drive it around locally until you work any potential bugs out of it before taking it on a longer trip. Other than that congratulations on the purchase. Its deffinately one of the best rvs ever made
So it's in Florida .I live in Florida what happened to the cabinet door up top is it busted or did you take it off for some reason .you need to talk about these things that's wrong and the things that's right beside screwing around guy with the the jolly cheeks he's not funny to me at all Let's Get Serious
I beg to differ. There are ALWAYS deals out there on just about anything. RVs are one of the better deals you can get because of many reasons. Some people don't care and just want it gone ASAP, have no idea what it's worth and just don't care about the money. I could go on and on with more reasons but I'll just leave you with this. Customer of mine who specializes in exotic cars actually paid MORE for a Ferrari he found on Craigslist! No joke or "BS". OF COURSE HE WAS SKEPTICAL WHEN HE SAW THE AD. It wasn't too far away so he made contact with owner and it was so far so good. Guy didn't ask for a bank transfer to Nigeria or any nonsense at all. Told my customer he would pull the ad until the following weekend so he could come review the Ferrari in person and owner DID! My customer took truck with trailer "just in case" and arrived at the arranged time Saturday. Car was EXACTLY as discribed & discussed. My customer was feeling VERY guilty about the price and told the man he was way below value and said "I will buy the car but I'm going to give you $3000 MORE because it was in such great shape and would only need a few minor repairs cosmetic & mechanical wise." YES! The owner was a bit taken aback and apparently appreciated the offer SO MUCH he took the money THEN HANDED BACK $1000! His reasoning was he appreciated my customers sincere honesty and wanted EVERYONE to come out ahead. SO! Crazy and HONEST things do happen. No title issues or anything and everyone walked away happy. Topped off tires and did a oil change, flushed the brake lines (and tested brakes), drained and flushed coolant system right there on the spot even. Ironically, my customers wife ended up driving it back to their house with ZERO issues. Aaaaaand she opened the door right into a POLE in his oversized garage! Minor "ding" but didn't crease or chip paint so his "dent pro" just rubbed it out. Long of the short (too late I know!), It never hurts to ASK/INQUIRE. ONE NEVER KNOWS! Just don't send/wire any Prince in Algeria or wherever. DEALS HAPPEN.

T C theres going to basically be a mini series about this one. Im also very happy that this one needs the least amount of work.
when you said. "IM A FABRICATOR" With your quote fingers about his floor mount I CRACKED UP thats like my kind of humer😛😅👍
These things are over $20k now
When you change the gen make sure you use the same fuel line from the tank so that your 1/4 tank safety reserve still works.
I want to live in one. I love the bed area
My dad has one too! The stripes are a different color and it didn't come with a generator. Its pretty nice tho after we got the leaks taken care of. He also put those tow mirrors people get for towing trailers so he can actually see! We also replaced the refrigerator and the toilet.

Usually it's the water supply that limits your "off-grid" time.

Sneeuw inverter
been looking for one of these for a while now
@1:55 "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" for the young van dwelling influencers watching.
They need to start making Toyota rvs again. I wouldn't mind a Honda either both are reliable engines.
but they need to be 6 cylinder.. either way best gas mileage for a mini C
Toyota motor only..honda not what it use to be...but yes to 6 cyl
Best compact rv design ever.
What a good find ! It looks like it’s good shape for its age . I wouldn’t mind finding one for Myself . Some had the 22RE engine . The V6 is the better choice .
Now that floor looks really good buddy I'm proud of you you. I want a wood floor in mine too . is that real wood or is that vinyl
Hey great score on this RV! I'm looking for an older Toyota myself as well! I'd love to see an update video sometime soon!! Who's your friend?

Your right about that. Currently he says its still one of the best purchases he ever made. And is still currently living in it. As of 2/28/19 at least lol.
Are you thinking about putting solar panels on the roof?
When we owned it we did consider it. But since it sold we did not go in thag direction.
Every thingis 12 volt except the pug outlets . It has a converter that is also a battery charger . The only time you have 115 is when you are plugged in to shore power ,just saying
That hook is for the awning
How big is that overhead sleeping area? Is it as big as a queen sized mattress? How much weight can it hold?
I believe it holds a twin. Not a queen. It would hold 2 full size adults for sure
Cool where you guys live I'm in Fort Myers Florida I just bought one of these things
Congrats. Im on the east coast closer to orland9
The Tinnie Winnie!!!!
Do you guys know if these things come in 4wd or if there is a conversion kit?
Ive never seen one in the states. We looked at converting this one to diesel at one point. But thats as far as it went.
Instead of buying that generator that you got why don't you go to the dealer get a diesel generator and put in there and let's do it right. you can always charge for the labor and the generator and get your money back and then send back that other thing it probably won't work good get a diesel regular generator or is there electrical problems too that you can't fix please sir would you mind fixing this up I'm very interested in it

What do you guys think about someone selling a '93 Toyota RV like yours for 35K??.. I am still baffled by it. Thanks guys 😀
Way too much. Nostalgia is one thing. But I'd rather buy a huge rv for that kinda money. Plus modern convinces
