  1. I am interested in selling my 18 ft TOYOTA SUNRADER . Can I list it on this site? (When I click on the listing tab, a page will not open.) Thanks for your help, Santa Fe Bob
  2. We have an 18 ft 1983 Toyota Sunrader with 23,700 original miles on a 1L Diesel Engine. VERY slow on the highway. Does anyone know of a cost-effective way to increase the horsepower? Turbo? Different engine? Any references or recommendations are welcome. Thanks much for your help, Santa Fe Bob
  3. Thanks for all the comments. They are very helpful... Based on your comments, I'm conducting investigation regarding how to reduce the drag on the engine. One bit of information is use a "variable displacement compressor" and the other is to have a second battery (which this vehicle already has to drive a compressor). The statement I read was that the compressor would run off of the second battery as it's being charged. The technician who will be putting together the air-conditioning kit is very knowledgeable and service-oriented. I'm going to call him and run all this by him. Once again, thanks for your comments.

  4. Linda, thanks for your comments. What I have found is that a vehicle of this mintage (1983) needs some additional skill to install an air conditioning unit. A couple of places said that there is not a correct mounting bracket for the compressor so they couldn't help. At the same time, I found a lot of places that would service an air conditioning unit but not install it. I did find a place in Texas (AC Solutions) that said that they can provide all the components, and the installer would have to use a universal bracket which would require drilling some holes in it to fit (not a big deal for the right technician). I do have a line on a company in Albuquerque that said that they (might be able) to install it. At the same time, I am looking at someone in Georgia (where I am flying to pick up the camper), that they say installing would be within their skill level. The real great thing about AC solutions is that "J W" their technician would talk to the installer to share exactly where the components of the AC should best go. I won't be picking up the Sunrader until early May. If you want to contact me around that time to check in regarding my experience, please feel free to do so. My best wishes, Santa Fe Bob
  5. Linda, thanks for your response. The coach has air-conditioning. The cab(where the driver/passenger sits) needs air-conditioning.
  6. I am buying a 1983 Toyota Sunrader, 18'. (And would you believe it has only 20,500 miles, and has been garaged!) It doesn't have an air conditioning unit, and I'm looking for any information you can share. I do have a line on a kit that the company says will work. Does someone know of an installer in or near Santa Fe, New Mexico? Thanks for your help, Santa Fe Bob
  7. Hello Toyota Folks. I am buying a 1983 Toyota Sunrader (18') which has no air conditioner. Does anyone know of an installer in or near Santa Fe, New Mexico? The Sunrader has a 1T Engine(2188 cc). I do have a line on a AC kit from Texas..... Your suggestions are welcome! Thanks, Bob P Would you believe it has original 20500 miles!)
