Thats some good looking work there.. I'll be defacing and rebuilding all of my cabinets and whatnot.. I was actually just researching the 5mm poplar at lowes when I noticed your post. Still waiting on a reply from the DMV. once I get my registration (fingers crossed) I'll pull the trigger on repairs. Until then I'm just puttering around. If for any reason I cant register this rig it will be put up for sale for anyone that dreams of doing a coach transplant. I could always resell the axle bits and recoup my investment so I'm not worried about that stuff sitting. But I'm not buying any piles of lumber or hacking too deep into it until I know it's good to go.

Bravo Homer! I love this and may be copying your idea.. I too am one of the masses missing the elusive large porch light lens.

It's True! But the Quote and Scheduling tool is currently unavailable due to site maintenance.. Ugh...

How ironic. I just picked up a swap set for my Shorty last night.. I got lucky and found everything all at once. and since the previous owner harvested them for his Sunrader project (never finished it) he was careful to take everything. I know that some of this stuff can be pretty hard to find. IIRC you need the hubs, rotors, calipers, caliper mount, and backing plates. Of course you'll need the wheels and lug nuts too.. Good luck on your hunt.

Man! I was just searching online for a spare wheel.. I sure wish I lived closer as well. I'd come get it now.

Welp... I missed out on that deal for the rear axle.. The seller is a retired welder but still keeps short hours in the shop. because of this, My messages were received a day late and he had a more local guy show up to take the axle away. I was pretty discouraged to say the least but I said thanks anyway, hung up the phone, and started searching on eBay Facebook and Craigslist again. I came across an ad with a photo of a flatbed that was probably originally a U-Haul truck or whatever.. The Ad said "Toyota 1 Ton Dually Axles Camper Rv" Intriguing enough, that's what I'm looking for and then I noticed the parts are in CT?! only a mere 300 mile round trip. I messaged with the seller back and forth to feel him out and then he settled on a $400 best offer. I know the previous axle was $250 and sounded like a good deal but this deal included EVERYTHING!!! Not only the rear axle and the wheels but also the complete front spindle assemblies cut from the control arms. Every bolt, every cable, even the load sensing valve and sway bar on the rear axle.. as well as all of the lug nuts and front center hub caps. I accepted his counter offer on eBay, logged into PayPal to pay him and then hooked up the trailer and headed out to CT. Left at 5:30pm got home at 1:00am I'm wiped out today but it's worth it.. $400!!! It was a good day.

Yes the one this guy has is equipped with all 4 of them as well.

Yeah that's worth the trip.. maybe.. lol i tried the source in MD. No reply on my quote req. there is one in CT at a welding shop that I found on Craigslist. im hoping it's still there, the guy wanted $250 for it. since the ad states only phone calls there is a chance it hasn't gone anywhere yet.

The unit on my roof looks to be similar if not the same, but the inside shroud and controls are different.

Thats right, Linda there is one on the roof already. It needs a new cover but during the restore it'll be coming off as well. I don't really like the sag it's given to my roof over the years. Granted, I will be pushing it back up into place and adding a support beam to the roof .. but for now I don't like the AC for what it's done.. I'm not sure what logistics would be like to California.. Im guessing it's probably cheaper to find one locally.. Then again these little ones might be as hard to find as the RM2410 I'm seeking. Neubie, it was working up until when it was removed before the rig was demolished.

I'm not sure what BTU this unit is... I saw one post saying it was 7100BTU but I really don't know. Model: 6727-739

Funny that you say that. I have been restoring Subaru 360's for over a decade and this one was gifted to me by an owner of a white one I had brought back from the grave. So to say free would be somewhat accurate.

Hah.. thanks for the link Linda.. I'll check that out as soon as I finish typing this reply. The little subie weighs in at <1k# it's pretty darn light.. lol. Funny thing, the rearbumper of this sunrader is pretty darn stout. It's a full steel bumper with multiple tie-in's to the frame on both sides and the center.. I wonder if I have a photo here.... Ahh here we go: Hmm, it sort of looks like an I-beam in that photo... it's actually a fully boxed structure but its actually quite heavy duty.. here's another view... lol silly little camper..

The only problem I see with this setup is the latency you'll experience between the camera and the display.

Wow.. thanks for all of the replies gang.. The other day I posted a picture of my Sunrader hooked to my Subaru 360.. I wanted to see what the smallest possible Class C hauling the smallest possible toad would look like. I got so many mixed responses. but full disclosure, this was just a photo OP. no towing was done. To scale and in photos it looks legit. in person it's a riot. Anyway, on with the post.... Yes I am still on the lookout for the axles and windows.. I have already began the painstaking process of clearing rig out of all the nasty carpet and damaged woodstuffs. I then slathered on some Kilz to help mediate any scents from rodents, moisture, or any other damage inflicted by the previous owner. (my wife scared the crap out of me in the one photo) Then I began ripping out the old carpeting from the Cab and Coach as well as the associated staples... Oh so many staples... One thing that I found interesting was the overzealous use of adhesive and wood screws to hold the carpet in the cab down.. I felt this was pretty much unnecessary... So here is a bittersweet situation I ran into this weekend.. There was a 92 Dolphin on FB in a group that was torn apart because of water damage. The truck had low miles and it was ripped down to the frame and posted up for $800 I thought since all I wanted were the axles I made a barter offer to the owner for an unused welder I had in the shop.. He accepted but it was pending a cash sale.... sadly for me the guy showed up with the money. I thought to myself .. hey, he might still have all the appliances!! So I made the same offer but for the refrigerator and an awning he had as well as the stove.. He was ok with the deal.. so I hitched up the trailer and headed over.. Turns out the stove is a 4 burner cooktop... which wasn't at all what I was looking for, but I thought to myself.."ok, so I install this cooktop and mount the microwave where the oven used to be." Then I asked about the fridge.. he tells me he can't find it... UGH! How do you lose a refrigerator?!... Then he offers me one from another trailer he had on his property... I reluctantly said ok.. and they scurried off and extracted the promised replacement fridge.. So now I've got this RM 2552 I can't use because its too tall and too wide. but I tell them to go ahead and put it on the trailer anyway... I explained to him that this stuff isn't going to help me much and he's getting a better deal than I am.. so then he pulls out the 10' awning, It's a Comfort by Colorado Freedom II.. which in itself is exciting so far.. but the endcap is smashed and missing and the mounting clips are gone and the entire unit is scratched and filthy... But hey! I Have the crank! It needs to be repaired, cleaned and painted.. A lot of work, but even still it's a considerable savings over new.. right? I was getting frustrated and he saw that just then he said.. "here. just take everything I have". so I ended up with: ALL of the windows for the coach of a Dolphin, the Water heater, two basin sink, some lights, The Coleman AC unit (good cover!), Power converter/charger unit, and many of the compartment doors as well as the fresh water tank. I kinda got screwed.. I really only wanted the axles, and I couldn't get them.. then I wanted the refrigerator and I didn't even get that. and I forgot the darn horizontal propane tank in the shed.. DANG! So if anyone needs any of this stuff please feel free to contact me. And just so you know the RM2552 is available if anyone wants it as well! CHEAP!
