  1. Yea, if no one snags it, It'll be in my driveway in a week. Snatch it up!
  2. Over in Kansas, $800 Nissan, guess its an 83 shell on an 84 truck body....
  3. Well, I've been delaying the cutting of the cruiser because I don't know where to cut it yet. I'm thinking of cutting the floor out of the sunrader and then creating a fiberglass/wood floor that will mold to the floor of the cruiser and then cut the quarters out leaving the floors in... but them I'm thinking of removing the body all together and fabbing a flat platform that the Sunrader body will set on. Just depends on if I keep the existing seats/seat belts in the cruiser config or go to a complete RV type..... lots of thoughts here.
  4. Or, you could upgrade the bike and tow your motorhome around?
  5. that is very true, no backing up... and #5.... probably shouldn't be on that site because it doesn't take much to wreck your bike backing up.... drive it like a big rig. Pull through parking spaces. I would never back up using that. I flat tow a Land Cruiser behind my big rig and you just have to plan, you'd have to plan less as your setup is smaller, not 65'. I think in my travels I've had to detach my rig and back up the coach 5 times so far. Another negative is tire wear but thats all I can see.
  6. I'll add that if I towed it, this would be how. http://www.motorcycle-rack.com/MFWT.html Just to give you an idea of what I was saying... there are better designs out there. takes some of the bikes weight off the rig.
  7. I have a few Sunrader/Toyota parts for sale over at http://sunrader.com/sunrader-parts. Hoping to recoup some of the cost to have this Sunrader shipped to me. Many more truck parts will go up on ebay as well.
  8. I was able to pull the axle/swaybar/air bag setup off the frame today... also pulled the tank. Tomorrow, I'm heading back to the 100 year old barn so no real progress till that is tidied up. Happy thanksgiving.
  9. I took some pictures earlier today because I thought it was a huge tank too... Here you go Derek: This was definitely a Custom creation!
  10. Good to Know Linda, yea, I have the axle listed with the airbags and tires for $1,000. Derek: The tank is 34" x 13 1/2" x 14 1/2" OD which is 28 gallons. Also for sale. Learn new stuff every day.
  11. I was thinking the same thing. Does anyone know if this is a normal sized tank? Looks like a 25-30 gallon tank to me.
  12. Yes you can, but I would do just that, tow... not build a rack for it and weigh down the back of your camper. Look at motorcycle towing configurations they have. Another idea would be to put it on the front, I think they make bumper racks.... but I'd research more.... flat towing a motorcycle shouldn't be an issue.
  13. Yes, it has to sleep 6 and transport 6 and be fully self contained! It will be pretty challenging for sure!
  14. we use passport america when we travel. Didn't boondock too much. We scored a 1000 trails membership for $3000 with 600 yearly dues. It was hard to find, but if we wanted to we could stay 21 days at a time at resorts for about $2 per day. Glad to hear you've moved on. What comes around goes around.
  15. Make sure its a true 6 lug sometimes those wheel covers hide stuff.... I'm sure it is though, in the back, up front still 5 which is still ok.
  16. Sounds like what happens when the poopers full of pretty
  17. hmmm... for some reason I cannot find where to add a picture today
  18. There are Derek.... I took a video but it takes forever to upload living in the boonies... a day actually. I'll snap more pictures later on right now I'm tearing down a 95 year old barn for the barn wood
  19. More pictures of the layout... never seen it before... one off? The PO, cut it a bit to test his sawzall... no harm easy fix, the shell is in otherwise really really good shape other than the windows up front which will get a make over with fiberglass
  20. All I'm seeing is FG 180 RD - which means rear dinette... no this one does not have the clamshell hatch. The fridge was right in front of you when you walk in.... there isn't much left to figure out what went were other than the outside compartments.
  21. its a FG-180... how perfect, this was the model they put on 4x4's. This one is an 86, on a 2wd chassis. Even better for the build. GARDNER PACIFIC SUNRADER MINI MOTORHOMES Motor Homes Year: 1985 Model No: FG180 4WD MSRP:
