Howdy yotafriends ~ I wanted to give ya a shout since we posted this up on TMC on Facebook. We are 3D printing the long lost weep hole covers at our design studio! We're passionate about keeping it open source so if you have a 3D printer or a friend with one I'm including a link to the .stl file for free download here ~ https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4756312 We're producing them in sets of 4 with a price break if you buy 12 or 16. Our Sunrader has 16 total. Details in the flyer in the first image. I'll post the eBay link we launched, but we are happy to take orders here on the forum or by email (it saves us some of their hosting fees). https://www.ebay.com/itm/274680632150 You can reach me by email at hannahmydeer@gmail.com (deer like the animal!) Shipping is $5 from Hood River, OR. These will fit 1977-1992 various Toyota campers - Sunrader, Dolphin, Odyssey etc. READ!! *These do NOT fit Toyota Winnebago Warriors or Itascas. See photos - they have a different style Hehr windows with a slim weep hole that doesn't require a cover. These WILL fit any Toyota campers and other vintage RV's of this era that used Kinro windows. The clearance of the weep hole is about 18.66 (about .75") if you think these might fit your rig. These covers help keep bugs out while still allowing drainage for the windows. I've also been told it stops your windows from "whistling" ***These are 3D printed out of *PLA* - we do not run ABS for toxicity reasons - but I have no reservations about these being hidden under the window lip away from exposure. They are clear coated to protect from UV damage. THAT SAID - they still should not be exposed to temps over 122'F long term. If you spend lots of time in Death Valley extreme temps these may not be for you. *** We'll also have this up on our Instagram @milesthesunrader if you have folks you'd like to share with on there. If you're on the road - we can always ship General Delivery to your nearest post office. stay safe & happy travels! Hannah

We are looking for a Sunrader (been for awhile), and was wondering what years have the wrap around windows in the section over the cab, and if these windows weaken the over cab area more than the smaller windows which don't wrap around? Thanks!

Hello TM group, Just purchased a 1989 21ft. Sunrader. So Stoked! But there's a lot of work the little lady needs. First, a set of front windows. I read as many post on here as I could about the subject. All seem to be a year or more old. Is there any new info about sourcing some reasonable priced windows? Or is Advanced in Nor-Cal the only way to go. Also thinking of going the DIY route after reading others success in the DIY. Anyone try any different materials besides Plexiglass? I found a pair on CL but they are off of a 1980 18ft and have a width 15-1/2. My width is 12-1/2 top to bottom opening. Could I buy them and cut them down to size? If the length is the same to. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/rvs/d/sunrader-rv-parts/6591859236.html Thanks for your help, Aaron

nearly all of the gaskets on the exterior of my rig are in terrible condition. where do I go to find fresh rubbers? I think the windows were made by topo chico. if that helps. Edited 3/10/18, I guess topo chico is bottled water. I don't know why I was thinking that they did windows. turns out there are no makers markings on the coach window. I intend to add pictures but my file size is too large for here. I will adjust and attempt to resubmit.

Greetings, I have a 1986 Sunrader, and need to replace the seals on the two front upper windows. Where would I go to get seals. Thanks much.

Hello! I bought my '84 Sunrader at the end of September, the previous owner had made lot's of "improvements". One of which was to take the inside frames off of the windows in the cabover bed, then he taped them on with roofing tape (the bane of my existence). Then he was confused about why it was leaking.... Anyway I have a very basic and possibly stupid question about the windows. I have one pulled out, am I correct in my assumption that the inside frame screws down to the outside frame creating a seal by tightening together on your sealant (butyl tape) ? Thank you in advance for your wisdom and help! I'll post pictures as I have them! Hannah

Hey guys, my name is Tim and I've been lurking on here for a while and figured it was time to join since I will be looking at a '85 Sunrader tomorrow. It's a 21" 2wd with 139k+ miles, EFI, a manual 4 spd and a 6 lug floating rear end. I was a Lexus and toyota master tech for 13 yrs so the mechanical issues I might run into don't bother me, but this is potentially my first RV and I don't know much about how things are supposed to operate on them. I can handle some external cosmetic issues but don't want to buy someone else's problem child. Since this is an older RV, I'm sure it's in need of some modern renovations and plan to do some reprinting/re-upholstering of the interior. I grew up camping with my parents in their RV's but I always slept in a tent and tried to remain outside most of the time. Now I'm married with a baby and want to start taking my family camping since some of my best childhood memories were camping, but my wife insists we must have something with a bathroom (ugh....ok honey). This is why my search for a cheap reliable RV has started. I am immediately drawn to toyotas because of my mechanical background and my parts connections within the toyota community. After reading around on the forum, I realized I don't want something that has had issues with water leaks so the sunrader platform seams to be the best option for me. I talked to the owner's son who is handling the sale and he said the cab needs to be repainted (because of surface rust in scratches that he spray painted), one of the front windows needs to be replaced because the corner is broken off and he just revealed one of the roof vents was leaking in the last rain and he re-sealed it. He says everything works, but doesn't know how to run anything other than the truck engine. How do I run the propane fridge? How do I make sure the tanks hold water and don't leak? If the broken window is one of the wrap around ones, how much should I plan on paying a plastic place to make me a new one? The only thing making me want to look at this RV is the EFI and a manual trans. Is $4000 too much to pay for this RV with the issues I already know about? Is there any other issues I should be looking for?

Hi- this is my first post. I thought it was time for me to have a voice and share some of my projects. I've started and nearly finished (do you ever really finish?) a complete interior overhaul. I've had a blast dong it. Here's my address if you'd like to check it out. www.bealcamper.blogspot.com I would love to here what you guys have to say. Thanks-
