It-C Bit-C very Class-C Toyota Dolphin

This Toyota Dolphin was a rescue back in 2020. It was abandoned by a tenant who moved away without notice. He was found living in Virginia and agreed to send the title to cover the unpaid rent. The RV was little more than a broken-down shell, but it was mechanically sound. So, I decided to take it on as a project. After two summers of work, the RV was ready for finishing touches in the spring of 2023. The first outing with the Dolphin was on May 31, 2023 and everything worked very well. It was easy to drive, easy to park, easy on gas, and very comfortable for myself and my two grandchildren. The restoration was done to ensure the RV was especially well suited for primitive or electric only camping, which is typical for the parks and recreation areas in Minnesota. To that end, high-efficiency 12-volt accessories were used everywhere possible. An 800-watt gas generator is provided to keep the RV battery charged when there is no shore power available. Inside, the dinette was sacrificed in favor of a counter-top/desk-top work area. On the counter there is a 12-volt power center with USB charging ports and a digital battery condition display. Overhead there is a 12-volt TV/DVD that can be lifted up to the ceiling to keep the work area free of obstructions. A camp table, stored beneath the counter-top, is available for indoor dining. Other amenities include queen size bed, large refrigerator, microwave oven, high-output range, water heater, toilet, shower, powered roof vents, awning, furnace, LED lighting, cargo rack/bicycle carrier, and a class I trailer hitch. What has been truly amazing is that wherever we have gone with the Dolphin, someone will invariably approach to tell us how much they loved the Dolphin their family had and how much they enjoyed their travels in it. It is our hope that you and your family can experience the same in your travels. Here's to the road ahead!
