zero Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Ad says a 1983 Rader. ID tag says it is a 1983 Sunrader model 220TD.. Under the hood is some sort of V6 engine. I am very confused. If this is a scam ad - it is not the usual sort I'm used to seeing. Also note that the V6 engine is transverse (sideways). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back East Don Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Is there a manual transaxle under that engine I wonder. A curious thing indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooddog Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 First post! Whooo! There is a wheel cover showing in the upper left corner of the engine compartment shot. Went to the CL ad and, yep, seems to match what is on the motorhome. Perhaps he is selling two white vehicles and got the engine pics confused... I wouldn't want any part of putting a transverse v6 in one of these trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineah Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I think he is very confused as to what he actually owns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 " Monterey Leisure, in Elkhart, IN, built Sunrader motorhomes from about 1982 until August of 1988. They also built the stick-built Rader motorhomes as well as a few Sunrader branded trailers at that facility. " http://www.nadaguides.com/RVs/1983/Sunrader/Rader-220RD-TD/3029992 But still not with an East-West V6 with MacPherson struts! Maybe it's an experimental prototype?
