Thanks everyone for their replies. To give everyone the final chapter for me and this Sunrader here's the low-down;

1. She installed the metal roof for aesthetic reasons, to spruce up the place.

2. She wouldn't budge lower that 6k.

3. Too many unknowns for me to even begin to haggle any more on the price.

4. As Linda S. said, too many holes in the roof, I'm skeptical of leaks, and every window needs a gasket replacement.

The search for my 18 ft. Sunrader continues.

Hey Corbin,

It's actually a metal roof. There is actually some left-over she's including in the sale.

Well, it looks like I'll commence bargaining and see how low she'll go. As Linda said, I am skeptical on leaks as she, and the former owner, have covered over the ceiling with metal sheeting. See pic below.

If I can get it on the 'cheap' I might not mind trying to do some of the work myself.

Fantastic advic Shibs, and Linda S., as always you all are a wealth of knowledge. (that's why I lurk around this place)

Looks like I'll be opting out of this sale unless she cuts the price by more than half.

Dang Linda, you're quick.

Price is currently 7k, I'm hoping she'll move on it at 5k. Worth it? (ed. YUP! it is the one in Denver)

Thanks for the heads-up on pic #1, I didn't even pick up on that.

Thank you for your time.

Hey all, hoping for some advice from some Sunrader owners.

I've recently stumbled across an 84 Nissan Sunrader, with a practically new 22z motor. Still has a 3 year warranty and less than 100 miles on it.

Owner is moving out of the country soon and looking to dump it So questions are as followed;

1. Can anyone see any major issues from the pics?

I can say that there is a depression in the roof and will need some patching (anything else?) window gaskets are a must (no surprise it's a sunrader) rust on the drivers side door (see pic). It is missing a decent amount of screws at the aluminum strip that joins the 2 pieces of fiberglass of the sunrader body (easy fix??) All appliances work, floor didn't seem to sag, it ran like a top in the 5 minutes I test drove it.

What else should I be looking for?

Just looking to see what the crew is thinking this rig is worth. I'm salivating at the thought of purchasing it, but like most people, don't want to get in over my head, but also don't mind spending the cash to get an experienced RV converter, restorer to help me out with the process.

Looking to make an educated decision largely based on the experience of the members here such as FJ40, Linda S., jdemaris, and any others.
