Hey Everyone! I have a 1986 Toyota RV (21 feet) that I am selling. ANY info/advice/help/consult is MUCH appreciated. Here are the dets- you'll see why I need help! 1986 Toyota Sunrader, 21 ft. Approx. 116,000 original miles Dual-Axle (original) Automatic, 4-cylinder Fuel-Injected Runs great, but stalls out sometimes while in reverse for parallel parking Coach Set up: door is rear access to kitchen and bathroom, with 2 sofas (someone re-modeled it that way- but only one is set up as I was planning to convert it into a storage system), + over cab bed When I bought it, the stove/oven + coach AC/heat all in working condition as of last time I was hooked up. Have replaced all 6 tires, sewer system, shocks, battery, alternator (about $3k) There is a very slow, small leak coming into the kitchen in the back when it rains, but I cannot for the life of me find where it is coming from. My guess is- the backup camera installation done by one of the previous owners. I am selling it in the San Francisco Bay Area. I want to be fair, but also not get screwed. Thank you so much for any replies- anything helps! Tips on where to even start, pricing, what I should include in the listing, etc. I am having a hard time uploading pics but will keep trying...

I just started the selling process. East Coast near Baltimore. There seems to be a very good market based on the number of views, and calls I'm getting at $22900. I had one test drive that seemed extremely impressed with the condition. (waiting his offer now.) How do you put a value on a very good condition 1986 Sunrader? The market has more Sunraders that "need TLC" in the $4k-$7k range than very good condition Sunraders. I bought it last year for almost $4k thinking it only needed $5k in work. Like a house, I should have doubled my estimate as the repair cost quickly rose to $12k. Are Sunraders considered Classic? Collectable? or Historic? I did my research before purchase. I have found sales as high as $30k. in the last year. I don't know of an RV on the market that gets 18 MPG, 4 cylinder and sleeps 4 in an average parking space. I enjoyed every minute of the restoration and camping. I was extremely impressed with the knowledge that came from this group of owners. To me, that alone adds value. So what are your ideas as to pricing? Thanks in advance.
