thomas taylor Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 years ago i owned a toyota sunrader rv.the floor plan was like this.in the rear of the coach was a 52 inch wide bed and next to it was a small but functional bad room. in front of the bed was a kitchen across from the kitchen was some storage and a sofa that dropped in a bed. then in front of the kitchen was the doorway. then either one or two small chairs with a drop down table. i have been looking for this floorplan for years in toyota motorhome hunting a haven't found one, was this floor plan that unusual?

Derek up North Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I can't say that the layout as described sounds like anything I've ever seen in a Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas taylor Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 hey its tom again. talked to my wife. it was one chair to the right of the entry door not two. and it was either a 1987 or 1988 sunrader classic. now somewhere in the following years toyota inserted a v-6 motor if it was in 1988 then i had a 1987 cause it was a 4 cylinder motor.

Derek up North Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The V6 appeared in the '89 chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If the bed was 52 inches wide that would have left a whole 23 inches for the bathroom. I wouldn't have been able to get my fat butt in there much less shower. I have never seen this floor plan even on the wider Odyssey's.

stamar Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Never seen one with a rear bed and bath on the same line That seems like the worst idea the way it works is the bed is as far away from the bathroom as possible. For smell purposes. The door is also away from the bed. In your layout that is consistant It is a rear bed someone tore the front bathroom out and put it in the rear possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamar Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You know it might even be against rv building codes. California has a few requirements to be a registered rv and the main requirements deal with toilet. Enclosed etc holding tank. Basically a toyhome is at the bottom minimum involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamar Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Also the kitchen is normally on the same side as the door in an rv to let the smoke out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamar Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 you are describing a rear dinette, 21 foot Sunrader. It is not an unusual floor plan among Toy Homes. You just need to use the right keywords to find them.....ie "rear dinette toyota motorhome" add 21' or 21 if you want that bigger version as there are also rear dinette 18' Sunraders around too I think your right. The toilet is behind the driver and he remembers it in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 So, if I understand, the bed was in the rear on the passenger side, laid out fore & aft? The bathroom was in the rear corner, passenger side? And between the coach door and the back of the passenger seat was a single tub chair? What provision was made for a dining table? Sunrader did have a reputation for building some units that appear to be one-offs. I don't suppose you have any pictures of it from your honeymoon?

linda s Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yes Yes honeymoon pics please cause now we want to find it too. Placement of doors and windows will tell a story. If they used the shorter kitchen cabinet section from an 18 ft one there might have been room for that rear corner bed. Then use the bathroom section from the rear kitchen model which is a rear corner bath. Sorry I doubted you but after you've seen several thousand Sunraders it's hard to believe you've missed some.
