That is a normal full size single bed, with a really comfy Sealy innerspring mattress, heaps of storage underneath and I can sit on it without hitting my head on the roof!.. picked it up on Gumtree for $40, and there is still room for my kitchen at the back."

Getting to top bolts for strut mount

How to get access to the top bolts for strut mount.


The passenger side is doable with a tiny wrench from the underside if you don't mind scraping up your hand. Underside of dash that is


Found removing the cover under the steering wheel made it easier.


Thanks for pictures from Robert Jackson‎

"You have to remove the plastic cover under the steering wheel. Under there you’ll have to remove this metal brace support thing and then the air vent thing. I just started taking it apart and it was pretty obvious."- Joseph M. C.

Also search "Strut replacement" on this site and you will find more info.

Towing a caravan, no problem.. This is a Solifer 5502i from 1988. Measured the Engine Coolant Temperature when towd this caravan, about 95 degrees, just as normal.


Will Miller Jacobs hauling scooters. Picture below.



"This 28 foot trailer is heavy, but the van pulled it down to the curb without any issues. Best minivans ever made." - ‎J. Blabey‎


Ted towing trailer


Sergio towing, have painted sides white.

Daniel is towing a Toyota Previa. Pretty heavy load!

Be careful out there.
SC an NA are rated at 3500lbs with a 350lb tongue weight. That being said, if you're hauling a bigger load I'd definitely use trailer brakes.

RedTrike Glenn has loaded his Previa:

10 2x4x10
250 fence planks
About 1500 pounds
