  1. I am trying to reconnect the driver's side tail light wiring.  I took the passenger side off to compare.  There seems to be wires missing as one side had a green and red wire and the other does not.  I want to replace the wiring and can see where it enters the bottom of the RV.  I have tried to push and pull but the wires are completely stuck in something. That something is holding the wires and sealing the hole quite well.  Has anyone replaced the wiring to the tail lights?  Also, any suggestions how to remove what is plugging the hole?

    We are curious as to how people are installing the garage door seals.  We bought one but it does not look anything like the seal on our Sunrader.  Can someone elaborate?

    Linda would you happen to know where the switch might be for the porch light?

  4. Well we have owned the Sunrader a little over 4 weeks.  It has rained numerous times and we have not seen any leaks.  That is until today.  There was a small puddle in the floor under the air conditioner, which by the way was not running.  We have removed the ceiling fabric and can feel dampness.   Has anyone had issues like this and how serious could it be?

  5. Today I began the remodel of our 1987 Sunrader.  I knew the carpet in the cab area was house carpet and wanted it gone asap.  I did not however know the method for fastening it down.  This makes me a little irritated.  Someone used screws to fasten the carpet to the floorboard.  The screws went through.  WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE DO THIS?!  I just started the driver's side and have removed over 30 screws.  Any thoughts on filling the holes?

    I did see these when searching for something that would work but I thought they were hard plastic and wouldn't curve where we need it to. Yeah love to see it on the door

    You are correct.  That is the problem. They have a silicone part and a hard plastic part.   It would be perfect were it not for the hard plastic.  (see pic) also, we would like to remove all windows and butyl tape them as well.  Have you been able to find new gasekts for them?  I was looking at the top of the truck cab where it meets the camper.  I am not sure what is supposed to be there, but it appears to have a slight gap.

    No, no replacement for the wheel and door trim seal. Show me the shower door seal. I'd like to see it. For all those lovers of lap seal. I just found out this morning that on my trip yesterday my roof vent fell off. Now I have to get a new one once again. That makes 3 times in 14 years. If I had lap seal all over those screws it would be a nightmare. I do not. All I have to do is unscrew it and put in a new one. None have ever leaked with only butyl. They just don't last that long

    What's left of the seal at the gas filler tube is still flexible so I'm guessing it's butyl too

    Linda here is the link.  In the morning I will take a picture of it on the door frame and you will see that it is an almost perfect match.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A3IBA2G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    There is nothing on a Sunrader that needs lap sealant. Remove and remount the affected part with the correct butyl tape.

    Hey Linda, thank you.  It looks as if the gas filler neck was just caulked around.  I would like to remove and re-install it correctly.  Also, the seal around the door and the fender flares needs replacing.  Have you been able to find a suitable replacement?  I looked at a shower door seal and it is almost identical except it is not all rubber.

  9. Hello all!  We bought the Sunrader this weekend in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina.  We had to be back on Tuesday for work but we sure had fun on this small outing. We are the proud owners of this beauty!  We plan on remodeling and updgrading with solar panels, led lights, etc.

  10. Hi all.  We are fascinated by the Toyota camper and hope we are in the right place.  Currently we are planning on traveling to North Carolina this weekend to purchase a 1987 Toyota Sunrader.   Would love to hear comments and thoughts on this model.  I have researched and it seems to be good.
