  1. Are the Nissan and Toyota 6 lug 1 ton full floating dual rear axle interchangeable? is there a difference between the Toyota and the Nissan 6lug full floating dual rear axles?
  2. Thank you for your reply, I prefer a custom cover , I will find something and modify it.
  3. Ok thank you thats why I can't find one. I appreciate your quick reply .
  4. I was looking for suggestions on where it is possible to find a full motorhome class c cover for my Toyota sunrader 18ft Any link or suggestion is appreciated as most of newer styles are not the same front end toyota cab style.
  5. Thank you, I appreciate your compliment Linda, that means so much coming from you a toyota motorhome consultant legend! All cushions were sent to upholstery shop for new foam and new fabric. I had a carburetor rebuild. All fan belts replaced, All new radiator hoses, and heater hoses, radiator flush , new thermostat and coolant, oil change and filter. 50 point checkover given from rv service all appliances working , new toilet installed, all tanks working as they should. Thank you toyotamotorhome.org for sharing my renovation!
  6. Floor trim added and reflectix aluminum bubble wrap to keep heat and cold out and a great privacy curtain, velcro tabs added for quick removal and re install
  7. Recycled smaller Table, and stove top cover,, cutting board sink covers for more counter space New vinyl wood look floor installed after quarter inch plywood redeck all screwed down to cover carriage bolts , holes cut over carriage bolts and filled with wood putty flush again. Trim on edges still needed. And edge guards. I cut 2-half inch plywood boards for the extra cushions for dinette bed that slide under dinette cushions, so larger table for bed not needed.
  8. 1984 sunrader renovation 4 coats of kilns white primer and finish coat all in one paint semi gloss white, removed carpet in and around over cab face and entry door. Recovered with a headliner like fabric, and recovered with same bothsides and deck of overcab. Attached with spray adhesive contact cement. A woven brown leather fabric around entry door. Over cab front windows have reflectix aluminum bubble wrap for privacy and insulation factor keeping cold and heat out with velcro tabs for remove and replace, all other windows will be done.
  9. Thank you so much Linda I appreciate your quick reply and information link for parts thats it exactly same as mine . Hopefully built stronger and better as mine is very thin and even if repaired would have to be completely rebuilt of fiberglass completely to be usable. Mine is super thin as why it didn't last and has multiple cracks. So for cost materials and labor time the link you sent is well worth their asking price. I can do excellent fiberglass repair and restoration as many years experience with my fiberglass sailboats. that is why I chose sunraders. My others are 18fters 1 -1982 toyota sunrader 18ft rear dinette,diesel 2.2liter, 5 speed manual transmission,43,000 original miles, 1986 nissan sunrader 18ft rear dinette, diesel SD22 2.2 liter diesel, 5 speed manual transmission, 6lug front and rear, 1983 toyota sunrader 18ft rear dinette, 22R gas, automatic, I have a 1986 toyota extracab 4x4 5 speed manual transmission 22R gas this one will be my donner vehicle for my toyota sunrader 18ft 4x4 build. These sunraders can be addictive. I just spent over 200 hrs in 3 weeks renovation of my 1984 sunrader 21ft I will post some photos of its Renovation soon, all systems are fully functioning and operating, roof recently had everything on it revealed. And a new toilet installed. Thank you again I really appreciate your help. I will order that new bathroom liner part and do fiberglass walls to match. Any part suggestions for fiberglass wall panels for bathroom room?
  10. Ok thank you Linda I got measurements 37.5 in long x 26.5in wide shower base top of base at wall then at Floor 25.5in wide x 21.5 long then elevated 1in to 1 1/4in to toilet area 141/2 in long x 251/2inwide length the pan due to age and very then has multiple cracks to repair. I could use it as a mold and do fiberglass or epoxy layups to reconstruct if I have to but a replacement would be best if available, out of my other sunraders all have a 1 piece floor and walls complete fiberglass bathroom enclosure that is much thicker and appear to be installed prior to camper upper section assembled. however this 1984 toyota sunrader has only wood paneling with a vinyl like wallpaper covering. So I plan to buy or build fiberglass wall panels for walls and seal edges with a waterproof cauking sealant. and photos
  11. Thank you Linda for your quick reply! I appreciate your input! I will get you some photos next week as its currently a rv service shop for a systems check over!
  12. Thank you for any information that can assist in my replacement part search. I have a 1984 toyota sunrader 21ft 22R 4 speed manual transmission i have been doing a complete interior restoration of original interior components. I painted the interior white on walls ,cabinets and doors. On my bathroom a poor repair was done on the bathroom floor shower pan. I can repair it and repaint it. But I would prefer a new shower pan if that replacement part would be available anywhere? Does anyone know a source for that part? Also what is the best new toilet model number in a Thetford or another quality rv toilet and which size toilet is best suited for that sunrader rv? Thank you I always appreciate the information you guys have shared. Also thank you Linda for all of your past information you have shared.
  13. where is best place to find the bases? for inserting the ladder into and mounting as previously mounted on rear bumper? mine didnt have on my sunrader .
