With the rather small Toyota Chinook motor home and Toyota based Winnebago and Itasca models The Toyota based engine is helping a number of manufacturers in the RV industry.
Due to the large number of manufacturers, it is not uncommon for similar campers and very different names to be seen. Small size had to limit the multitude of available basics. This has caused many vendors making virtual copies that have only changed the fit and implementation of the details. It was not long before the manufacturers started to expand the size of the motor homes. Using the traditional manufacturing techniques used in the travel trailer industry, the aluminum frame and aluminum staves were considered standard.
In the 1980s, Toyota's motorcycle production peaked. Several different companies have produced different models. Some of the major companies in this business were the national RV, the very popular Dolphin series. They also made Seabreeze models. However, Winnebago produced Brave, Warrior and the deluxe Itasca Spirit models. Elkhart Indiana Damen Corporation manufactures the Escaper engine, while Coachman has produced the popular Coachman and Savanna models. Leisure Odyssey has built Americana, Santa Cruz and Laguna campers.
Mini-Mirage was built from the Mirage industries, while the still-popular SunRader was built with the glass fiber body of Gardener Pacific.
By the end of the 1980s, the length of the caravan's body increased to 22 feet. This caused a serious overload problem on the original half-ton pickup axis. The US government issued a national security reminder to remedy the problem. Most models received a new tons axle. However, there are still units that have the unsafe axle. It is remarkable to watch the very popular caravan 1980 version.
In 1989, the V6 appeared in Toyota's chassis. This increased horsepower became very popular among caravan owners and production continued until 1994 when Toyota for safety reasons stopped the pickup house for caravan manufacturers. Winnebago created the last V6 versions in 1994.
During its manufacturing life, Toyota's motor home has been a great success and is widely spread throughout the country. Today, most units on the road seem to concentrate on the eastern and western coasts, but these motorhomes appear in almost every country
