  1. odometer has 6 digits however it had stopped turning at 62000, so the owner was estimating the current miles to be 82000 (I'm laughing about this as I type). If the camper didn't have so much water damage and the price was a lot lower I'd consider buying it and upgrading the axle.
  2. My inspection didn't take very long as the first thing I noticed was the 5 lug rear axle. The owner has had the rv for five years and I believe he really didn't know about the recall on the axle. Also looks like plenty of leaks around the front windows and above the kitchen and below the big rear window. Some of the overhead cabinets looked loose with gaps from the ceiling as well as missing doors. Still glad to have seen the inside so I have a better idea about interior space on a shorty. I'd like to report back to him what the cost would be to upgrade the axle, any answers are appreciated. Thanks again for all who chimed in on this!
  3. Thanks, I'm adding to my check list now.
  4. Thank you Linda S, you are a wealth of information, and good to know you own a Sunrader. I appreciate this site and all the time and effort you put into it!
  5. All good to know. Thanks for this info!
  6. on Tuesday I'll be looking at a 1983 18' Sunrader. The owner will be selling it in a few months. He said it has 82000 miles and everything works except the fridg. l've been looking for a newer 6 cylinder toy but this one has come across my path. seems like a bargain at $3500. Besides checking: all the systems, rust, motor, upgraded axle, leaks etc. What questions should I ask and what issues with this year/model. thanks for the help!
  7. I'm enjoying my exploration of the toy home history. Somewhere I read that over 30 manufacturers built on the Toyota, is there a complete list online? Just saw this Pontiex on Craigslist https://lansing.craigslist.org/rvs/5610423695.html
  8. Sweet toy on Craigslist http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/rvs/5602327497.html
  9. Because of business commitments I had no time to drive to San Diego, called the seller this morning and she had just sold it. It just wasn't the one for me. I always seem to find what I'm looking for and I know the right Toyota motorhome will show up and I'll be ready! Thanks again for all the good advice
  10. The woman selling this Odyssey said she's "lowered the price to move it quicker because she needs the money to purchase another rv. Timing belt has not been changed. All appliances should be working and no sign of leaks." If still available in the next couple of days I'll drive the 2 1/2 hours to go check it out in person.
  11. Thank you all for your comments! And yes Linda S my first thought was it's on that edge of being a possible scam, but when it kept being reposted at a lower price I thought buyers might be showing up and finding something wrong with it. I'll call tomorrow and investigate, I'll be sure to update my findings.
  12. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/rvs/5480999441.html Hello All, I'm new to this forum and so glad to have access to those in the know on all things Toyota motorhome! I've been reading on here daily in hopes to prepare me for my first rv. I search Craigslist every day and came across this one in San Diego about two weeks ago, it was first listed at $6000 and then reposted at $5800, then down to $5500, and then dropped to $5300 and today posted at $4900. Seems like a good price assuming no water damage and engine is in great shape. Probably due for timing belt? Would love any input before I make the call.
