It's time to sell our 91 Winnebago Micro Warrior, we have loved having it and have traveled all over the Colorado Rockies in it. This Toyota has the most coveted engine of all the Toyota motor homes, the 3.0L V6 has amazing stamina--it gets AMAZING gas mileage for a motor home, while still driving strong-much stronger than the older 22re 4 cylinder engines. Our Warrior runs like a champ, we have gone up and over Eisenhower Pass (Elevation 11,158 feet, the highest point in the US Interstate System) many times holding 50 MPH fully loaded. Cruising the flats it gets 17-18 MPG. It has an overdrive off switch and a transmission power switch which really help in the mountains. I looked at LOTS of Toyota motor homes before buying this one and the thing I really like about the Winnebago is that interior parts a way better quality than any of the others I saw. It has things like a solid one piece floor when other ones have seams that flex and bend, it has solid oak cupboard doors when other have pressed wood that fall apart, it's build with a welded aluminum coach frame when others just use wood, nails and glue, the door frame is one solid piece of shaped aluminum to give it more strength, the walls are sandwiched laminated with a thick insulation so it's quiet and holds temperatures well. Winnebago certainly made the best version of these little Toyota motor homes. You can get other motor homes that compare in fuel mileage but they cost 5-10 times as much to buy and would cost waaaay more to maintain because they have Mercedes diesel engines, plus diesel is 65 cents per gallon more than gas. The motor home is equipped with:Sleeping for 5/6 -Fold Out Couch, Fold Down Dinette, LoftFull Kitchen with Microwave and Gas Stove/ Oven and Range HoodHot and Cold water in the Kitchen, Bathroom, and ShowerFridge/ Freezer combo that runs on propane or electricityLarge Closet in BathroomSlide Away Bathroom DoorCOLD Roof AC -- Shore Power or Generator PowerInterior Generator On/Off Switch2 Deep Cycle Batteries to run Lights, Water, Range Hood, Furnace Fan, and Skylight FanAutomatic Battery Charger and Power Converter with Automatic Starting Battery IsolationLevel Gauge for Batteries, Black Water, Gray Water, Fresh WaterAutomatic Thermostat for the Propane FurnaceOriginal Owners Manual Over the last month I have remolded, refurbished, or replaced every single piece of the interior and exterior of the coach. It was really fun and TONS of work but here is what I did: First I sanded and stripped every inch of the interior then tore up the old carpet and removed all the old fixtures and light coverings. Then I tore out all the upholstery because it was ugly and sent it off to be professionally reupholstered. When the couch was out I rebuilt the skirting and framework for the couch. Then I washed and vacuumed every surface of the interior and masked off everything I did not want to paint. I sprayed 3 layers of Kills Primer and then put 5 coats of semi-gloss on. I picked semi-gloss so it would be easy to clean up scuffs. I installed a floating hardwood floor so it would be quick and easy to clean and sweep. I finished the floor edges with quarter round and calked all the seams then built a new entryway/mud room out of the heavy rubber they use in horse trailers. I finished all the entryway seams with aluminum to secure it and give it a nice finished look. For the shower cut out all the old silicon and used an industrial marine enamel to refinish it, then I redid all the silicon. Some of the drawers needed to be rebuilt so I did that and lined each one with a decorative foam to keep sound down while you are driving. All of the pulls on the drawers got replaced with modern brushed nickle handles. I removed all metal covers and guards along with the stove door and painted them to match each other. I used the same material that I picked for the couch to reupholster the fridge door. Some of the plumbing was cracking so I replaced everything that was in bad shape. I bought new covers for all the lights along with new bulbs. I decided to recover the whole loft with a soft gray wall carpet and delete the long front window so it would be a nice place to sleep and not have too much light and heat cooking you in the morning. I removed all the ugly old blinds and sewed these curtains, they are light stopping so you can't see from the outside in when they are drawn. I bought all new linens and pillows for the interior. The generator was running poorly so I did and full service and rebuilt the carburetor now it fires right up and runs great. The exterior was completely cleaned and decreased then sanded, buffed and polished. I refinished the rear bumper and redid all the roof seals even though it was not leaking. I stripped and sanded each rim then refinished them along with the spare. The tires are all commercial grade and the tread has 95%. I replaced all the exterior light covers and repaired any exterior damage I could find. If you read all that you know that this is one of the best Toyota motor homes in the country, everywhere we go people want to look inside and say "Wow, I wish this was ours!" I would jump in it and drive to Maine tonight without a worry. Give me a call, I have a flexible schedule.Happy Camping! I don't want to mess with checks or trade, so cash only please.
