Thanks, guys. We've just now sent a list of questions. I had to stop myself from asking for a close-up of the screws in the mouldings, lol. Maybe I should have.,...

Hello again folks, just wondering if anyone has looked at the Dolphin on Ebay... there are a couple days to go in the auction.
Don't suppose the seller is a member on here maybe?
Any thought on the pictures of the water damage on the bed area floor and under the bathroom sink. We're considering bidding but Wisconsin to Paducah is a long way to be bummed out.
Can anyone offer any ideas of other questions we could ask that could highlight 'deal breaker' issues?
Thanks again

Something like this?
Except extended further, of course.
exactly like that... or turned to be able to sleep 'north and south'?

My mom owns an Ixtasa and last summer we built a sliding extension for her overhead bed that allowed for her Sister and brother-in-law (both tall 6' plus Germans) to sleep front to back. The extension slides out when needed. I tried to talk mom out of it, mainly because the door was now semi blocked, but they (my aunt and uncle) seemed to absolutely love it. A Sunrader of course has not only the door issue, but the bathroom closet in the way for something like this to work.
You might have enough comfortable width to just work around the bathroom now that the bed is reconfigured to sleep front to back. I have no idea how wide bathrooms are, but probably pretty wide. Personally, I don't like beds that have to be folded up or put away, but this might be the only viable solution other than selling the rig, tho sounds like your mind is already made up to start shopping for a new camper tho.. which might be for the best.
Rule #1 of campers:
Always, always, always, have a comfortable bed that meets your needs! Everything else is secondary.
We'd love to know how your Mom's bed works... we were actually discussing that option in a rear kitchen setup. It definitely wouldn't work in the Sunrader but in a rig with the door in the back it could be workable. I agree that the bed is the most important thing because if you wake up sore and tired what's fun after that? Would you be able to share how they worked out the slide/bed thing? And also, could you help us find a larger, rear kitchen toyota with a 6 lug axle and low miles for a really great low price in like new condition?? Just kidding. Unless you know of one, of course, lol.

Cool! Where did you find the brochure? I'll look here in the files section? Thanks. We were trying to think of a way to extend the width of the bed area... we thought if we could find a rear kitchen model then we could maybe modify the cab over bed to stick out further into the coach area with the help of some bracing along the wall or some brackets or who knows how. I wonder if they made an Odyssey with a rear kitchen?

Hello folks,
We own an '84 18ft Sunrader that we really love. However, the problem is that my husband is 6'5 and neither of us are teeny so we end up sleeping separately.. me in the cabover and he's turned the dinette into a (basically) permanent bed for himself. We're both comfy but lonely, lol. Anyone know which Toyota has the largest over cab bed? Can't seem to find any info other than 48 x 77 mentioned here and there. I'm saying they are all the same size and he says there are different cabover sizes.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Well, so far so good: the seller is answering our questions and posting additional pics as fast as we ask for them. We're really interested and are getting close to committing to bid on it. Then we'd have an 84 Sunrader to sell... anyone interested?
