  1. Yes Anthony that's correct! We'll see if Spud is a good fit
  2. Here are some photos! The front 2 windows had a leak the owner said but he sealed it over with flex seal and marine paint.
  3. Scott! Thank you for the sound advice! I do wonder as well why they removed all these things, in the description, they did mention that there is no hot water because the water has been re-routed so it doesn't fill the hot water tank which used to leak. There must have been some issues with the old appliances so they just opted to remove them. Yes thank you for that! I knew that this was going to be a project of sorts and before decorating and making things pretty, I need to make sure that the vehicle is sound and operational. My father is pretty good with cars so that's why we are going together to check it out! Given the age of this rig, I know its for sure going to be a recurring cost. I am hoping that it will retain its value as I see there is high demand for these campers, but im not banking on it
  4. Thank You Linda for your valuable input! I will definitely take this into consideration. The thing about this rig is that it is practically bare bones. The previous owners are a young couple and they removed pretty much ALL the appliances as I believe they were using it as more of an off-grid weekend camper or they ran into mechanical issues with them. No stove, propane, water heater, ac. Basically the only thing they decided to keep was the shower, bathroom, sink and plumbing. Because it is missing all these essentials, I am definitely going to negotiate the price down because I will have to dig into my pocket to install these things over the next year or so.
  5. Hello everybody!! I joined this forum because I am currently in the process of buying my first home/vehicle, a 21-ft 1986 Toyota Sunrader! 72,000 miles, no mechanical issues (they say), 5k on their tires, new batteries BUT lacks a stove, fridge, and a/c. Little bit about myself and what I am planning for use. I am 21 years old, will graduate college in May 2021, and I made the decision that after graduation, I want to travel the United States on an extended road-trip. Never really left my home-state of New Jersey growing up, and this is a trip I have always wanted to take so I figured, why not now? I'm not married, I don't have a house or a mortgage, don't have kids, I barely even have any belongings and I'm young so why not? Originally, I was looking for a camper or trailer, but when I saw this Toyota Sunrader on Facebook Marketplace, I could not resist at least taking a look. I am going with my father tomorrow to check it out in person, and I am planning on negotiating down the price because it lacks a stove, fridge, and a/c. If I do buy it, this will be the largest purchase of my lifetime, and I don't want to completely screw it up. The problem is, I really don't know what red flags to look out for on this rig? Do any of you have any tips or things I should be looking out for/checking out in this Sunrader before I take the leap? I would really appreciate any advice! Thank You all so much!
