Sold to a happy new owner in SoCal. I’m very sad to see it go

$7,500. Selling my 1986 Toyota Sunrader Adventure 2 canvas pop-up. Very rare! 4 cylinder, 22re, AT, 106k miles, 6 lug full float rear axle. I’ve owned it for about 3 years and am not using it as much as I should. Needs some TLC but it’s all there. Runs and drives good. Rear bath. Registered until March 2020. Needs to find a new home. Located in Petaluma, CA. Have been told it’s easily worth $8-$9k, maybe more. Asking $7,500 but I’m flexible for a fellow Toyota enthusiast. Let me know if you have any questions or want more photos.

My rear drivers side parking break snapped in half and am having trouble locating the correct replacement. It's for an 18ft 1986 Toyota Sunraider. I've found part number 4643035230 from Toyota but want to make sure it's the correct size. If it is correct, I can't seem to get my hands on one anyways. Should I try and pull the cable from the housing and have the cable replaced? Should I just not try and park on a hill or carry a tire block?

When digging through paperwork I found this diagram. Looks like my rear bath model is classified as an Adventure1 and the rear dinette as an Adventure2. Most the Adventures out there I see are the rear dinette (Adventure2). I would think the 1st model of most anything would be more popular and there would be more of them in circulation? Is there a way to find out how many Adventure1's were produced? Or maybe a ballpark of how many are still out there on the road?

I'd be glad to show it off. I had a feeling it was rare. It's surprisingly in very clean shape inside and out. My dinette is behind the driver seat and the bath is in the rear passenger. It's a pretty cool setup. It doesn't have windows above the cab section like most sunraders I've seen, and only has one side window by the stove where most seem to have two. We've been calling it the "not so Sun-Rader".

The previous owner claimed everything worked but I haven't tried getting any of it to work yet. She said the fridge took forever to get cold so she just used it as a pantry. Said the furnace worked, the stove worked, and said she never tried to use the AC unit. Toilet is intact, but said she didn't use it and went outside. She hacked half the shower walls off (in the rear), and would just use the shower hose and stand outside with the back hatch open. Told me the water pumped fine and got hot. Engine battery was dead and needed replacing, and am assuming the coach battery is in the same state. Looks like I need to make sure the coach battery setup is working good before I do anything. Thanks for your response. Will try to get some photos up soon.

Hi all. Just purchased my 1st RV! I'm excited and overwhelmed. 1986 Sunrader Adventure. 22re automatic 105k miles. It's pretty clean inside and out. I've seen many Toyota RV's usually "square" with wood/aluminum sides, but not many with this rounder all fiberglass pop-up style. Are parts going to be hard to find? I'm a Toyota guy, and somewhat crafty. I have rebuilt 22re's in the past and currently have one in my pickup. But I know nothing about motorhomes. I have a bunch of original paperwork with details and instructions on all the appliances. My plan is to 1st get it running well, tune up, change all the fluids and filters. Then tackle one appliance at a time. Any idea where to start? Was going to do water 1st so I had that (pump, tanks, heater). Then was going to do gas (furnace, stove). I'm sure the inverter/dual battery set-up that powers everything is going to need attention as well. Wish me luck, I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions along the way.
