zero Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I did not know Nissan even had a 3 liter V6 in their cab & chassis in 86. Nice looking rig. Seems the state of Michigan is the "hot spot" for Minicruisers? It kind of look like this one too has over-cab-sag and rot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Is it just my sleepy eyes, or are those 2x6s above and below the front windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back East Don Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 That is what it looks like to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86rader Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 this is the first hardbody style toyhouse I have seen. Really liked that truck. And the Nissan V-6 was a great motor, easily better than the toy V-6. If the coach isn't a basket case, this would be worth it. Would love to find a Sunrader with this.

linda s Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Wow I always look for Nissan motorhomes cause I have one but this is the first Mini Cruiser I've ever seen. Very cool. And Mr. 86rader I have that Sunrader your looking for. Not for sale but Sunrader made rigs with the V6 Nissan from 86 to 88, all of them the shorty 18ft model. There are about a dozen that I know of.

86rader Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yeah, I remember when you bought that. If you ever feel the need to sell, let me know. How does it do mileage wise? Do you have pics of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have pics of it? No I don't have any pics. my last computer crashed with a bang and I couldn't get anything out of it. It gets better mileage than my Toyota at highway speeds. Goes 70 easily and still gets 15mpg. The best part is it's got a 21 gallon gas tank. On the bad side I don't use it. I never finished the redo. I'm semi retired now and as soon as I have a driveway instead of just gravel, I'll get back to work on it. Moved to small town in northern Cal and still doing moving stuff. Don't even know where most of my tools are. I don't think I could ever sell either Sunrader. Be like separating twins. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki B Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I just purchased a 1986 Nissan Mini Cruiser yesterday! Lot of things work but a few minor things need replacing. What is a good web site to find replacement parts for these lil beauties? Thanks for info, Vicki B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Truck stuff from any auto parts store but a lot of us buy discount at Amazon or Rock Auto but you need to know exactly what you need. Camper stuff we need to know what to know where to send you. Were pretty good at finding obscure parts here or giving a reasonable replacement option Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
