If you dont know....Toyota Sunrader motorhomes are very rare. They went out of business in the 80s when Toyota stopped supplying the coach builder with cab and chassis.
That makes them very rare. Folks who own them are passionate about them too so they usually dont sell them.
This one has since been sold but at least we can watch this video and dream of buying something like it lol.
Congratulations to the new owner. You got a nicely upgraded version for sure.

Killer van. You should take a bow for all the work here. The 22r is a legendary engine. Toyota’s are like Hondas, they do the job, year on year.

We had a Sunrader in the 80’s. We had 3 children. All 5 of us and we had a blast. California - Yosemite, Larsen, Yellow Creek and Yellowstone and so much more. Loved it but definitely had to time the mountain grades like an 18 wheeler.

I bought one new in 1985. The 18’ with 2 wheel drive and the automatic trans with overdrive. Thankfully I bought a bumper to bumper warranty from Kelly Blue Book. After multiple transmission failures they insisted the overdrive be locked out. A couple more failures and gave up and traded her in. Too bad, I loved that crazy little thing and if it had a standard transmission I’d still have it.

Anyone looking to buy a rig similar to this one doesn't give two craps that this is a manual trans. And I've driven a 22r powered rig with an auto. It was slower than molasses in the middle of december. The autos that come with these engines take a lot of power away from them.

That's actually a great deal at $39,000. I know people who dont think so, but capable rigs that will last a life time are very pricey. This is completely upgraded and like new. You would pay about that for a new truck camper, then spend a bunch to upgrade it, then you still need a truck. Four wheel campers, that have everything this has, are well into the 30s.

My dad had a 1988 Toyota regularcab pickup 2wd with the 22r and 5 speed he bought around 1990.. He lifted it up and added large mudtires. He grew tired of no A/C and traded it for a Honda Civic in 1999. He said he was able to haul my uncles boat that must have been around 2500 lbs and he sometimes forgot it was there and drove too fast a few times. He then bought a 2002 f150 FX4 Supercrew which he thinks is a better truck in every single way. But I think that there's always more room for a small pickup truck.

Anyone considering getting an old Toyota motorhome needs to research the recall that happened on the rear axles. They were recalled because they weren't strong enough for the load and they would break. If you see a rear axle with 5 lug nuts run away. I still see people selling these on Craigslist and they are an accident waiting to happen.
