VAN TOUR - Part 1 | Vintage Toyota RV Fully Remodeled for Full Time Living

Описание: It has been a joy to travel with our RV, Amy Hiroki, for the past 2.5 years. She has been a rock!! We traveled with her through the US, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. It’s a motorhome like no other. The combo of vintage features with modern tech equipment, and rebuilt and resurfaced interior makes it one unique home on wheels! It truly feels like home, a home you bring with you wherever you want. We bought her last November 2020 for multiple reasons:
1. Toyota RV is a vintage motorhome. Its price doesn’t go down if you maintain it properly and keep it in good condition. It’s hard to find these types of Toyota RV motorhomes because manufacturing stopped in the 90s and there are only a couple of thousands of fully functional units left in the world like this one.
2. Toyota RV is a Class C motorhome which is the perfect size for us with ample living space, and bathroom privacy, and still fits in a normal parking spot because it’s the same length as a van. Plus, it has big windows so lots of light and breeze comes in!
3. The gas mileage is great compared to other RVs. It can run up to 16 miles per gallon on a good route and averages about 14 miles per gallon.
4. The engine is all mechanical. No computers so it’s easy and cheap to repair, maintain, and find parts wherever you are in the world.
5. The 22RE engine is one of the most reliable engines in history. It just lasts forever! You can google it.

The only downside of RVs (compared to Class B vans like a Sprinter) is that it’s harder to be stealthy when you are in a city. It’s easy to be noticed and we get attention, friendly waves, and friendly smiles every time we drive in a city.
