Can't believe it's been 2 years already! In this video I cover the things that broke in the last 12 months, the improvements I made to the trailer, the top 3 things that I still really dislike about it, and then the many things that make it great.

Lots of smart changes and helpful information sir! You should be hired by Sunset Park for research and development for the Sun-Lite 16BH future models.. I would buy your used model before buying a new one with all of your fantastic upgrades..

@gringogg1780 thanks for the kind words. I wish I knew how to turn camping into a career. Maybe someday...

I like your outside shower. That is way better than the plastic ones that seem to come with every rv.

Nice job on the video, still looking for my Sunset Park. They have the new LTD versions out, looking at a 13MJ. Disappointed the newer models only have the 12 volt fridges.

@videozar_ 4 ай бұрын

Thanks. And yes I agree on the fridges. Almost all campers are electric only now. I'm glad I got mine when I did.

Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience along the way. I watched many of your videos before purchasing and thank you for helping us make an informed decision. We followed your advice on the winterization and also ordered OEM cabinet doors to put under the dinette like yourself - thank you! Question - Do you have any videos or tips to share about the leaf springs? After our second trip, the passenger side failed and looks just like yours, albeit a 2024 with only a few hundred towing miles. We have a spring break trip planned and may have to replace these myself to salvage our trip. I am completely blind going into this and appreciate any pointers. I appreciate your time and again, thank you for sharing the great content!

Had to replace my water heater too. Had a factory leak that was not under warranty. I love that outside shower valve you installed. Where can I find one like Thant.

@videozar_ 4 ай бұрын

I got it on Amazon. It won't let me post a link but if you search Amazon for "metal rv shower faucet" it will come up.

@Fairedog 4 ай бұрын

I'm with you on the fridge, I prefer the gas/electric combo. You need too much solar power to make the newer 12 volt fridges worth it, and even then what happens when you park in the shade? The manufacturers are just trying to save $$$ by putting in these worthless 12v fridges.

@videozar_ 4 ай бұрын

I think there's also some pressure on them to just reduce the amount of gas appliances in general. I'm seeing fewer ovens as well.

I find your videos very informative and thank you! Where did you find replacement leaf springs?

Thanks Tom. I got them on Amazon. No particular brand or anything. I just searched around for the size and found a pair. Been almost a year and they've held up great.

Where did you get the foam for the dinette? The factory stuff flattens pretty quick.

@videozar_ Ай бұрын

Thanks Kathy. I got it from Amazon. Just did a search for firm 4" foam and bought a roll. Was pretty easy to cut and put in.

Thanks for the 1 yr & 2 yr videos. I wish I could hire you to do the upgrades you did to your camper, to my camper! One problem I have had is both doors for under storage do not lock because the locking mechanism spins 360 degrees around when locked. Someone on a forum told me to get square washers but I have had no luck finding them.. I am shocked you have not mentioned this problem. Do you not have this problem?

@videozar_ 2 ай бұрын

Thanks Nichole. I haven't had any problems with the locks on the pass through storage doors. I do know they close pretty tightly and if I really tried, I could make them spin in place. But they don't do that when I latch and lock them. Mayne I got lucky with mine.

What kind of foam did you use for seat cusions, and where did you get it? Thanks!

@videozar_ 4 ай бұрын

I bought a 4" foam from Amazon. It won't allow me to paste a link here, but they sell it in various lengths. It is easy to cut with a utility knife. And the cushion covers have zippers so it's just a matter of unzipping, removing the old foam, and stuffing the new stuff in there.

Hello, Can u please post the link for a white shelf behind your toilet? I have the same trailer. Thanks!

I wish I could but KZfaq removes Amazon links. I did a whole video on that shelf though. If you scroll back a but in my channel you'll find it. That video has a mention of the Amazon listing.

@@leeworth8651 Sunset Park changed their lineup a bit for 2024. I know the dealer near me still sells the 16BH, but even those are a little different now. Won't get a 2-way fridge. Probably not an oven. But same general floorplan. If you're curious, check out Scenic Roads RV in Manchester, TN.

What do you tow it with?

@videozar_ 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. First year and half was with a 2021 4Runner. Last while now, with the Titan in the video. Both tow excellent. Got a WDH and brake controllers for the 4Runner which I would recommend for everyone.
