Description:
RARE Toyota Sunrader V-6 motorhome. This classic vintage RV is way-above-average! Sunraders are considered the most sought-after of Toyota RVs, and attractive ones like this with a V-6 engine are rather hard to find. Firstly, Sunrader is the only major brand of full-size Toyota RV which has a molded fiberglass shell, in two pieces put together with a clam-shell design. This makes them less prone to rain leaks compared to other types of RV construction. Click on "Read More" below for the entire description and and be sure to see all 94 photos. Most importantly, this 91 Sunrader is one with the more desirable V-6 engine. Compared to a 4 cyl, the V-6 engine gives you more adequate power for climbing hills and the ability to tow a moderate load. The ride in the cab is much quieter and the seats more comfortable than in earlier models. Toyota engines are known for their longevity and great gas mileage especially compared to any other van-chassis RVs of the same size and price. Although the 4 cyl. Toyota Sunraders are somewhat common, Sunraders with a V-6 engine like this are rather rare. This is because only for the last three out of 14 production years did the Sunrader factory use the V-6 chassis. And only about 6 or so of these come up for sale each year in the entire country. 1991 was the last production year for Sunraders, so this one is about as new as you can get. This V-6 engine gets great gas mileage -- up to 16 miles per gallon; thats about twice the mpg of an American motor RV of the same vintage. It drives easily and handles more like a car than an RV. Interstate speeds of 70 mph are easy to maintain. "Way above average" aptly describes this coach. The reasons will become obvious when you read this entire description of its many features and upgrades. Most Toyota RVs that come up for sale need a fair amount of time and attention, and probably a good amount of money to make them comfortable and trouble-free again. Here now instead, is one that is ready to take camping right away. What you will read about consists of more than 100 different items and upgrades that the new owner WONT have to deal with because we have fixed or improved or added them already. Please know that this RV is NOT a project. Just the opposite -- everything has been carefully gone over to be as nice as possible. Restoring Toyota RVs is our hobby and we have finished almost 5 dozen of them in the last 20 years (about 3 per year). My assistants and I have carefully refurbished this coach to be optimally usable for the next owners. We are experienced in what we do and take pride in our work. There is a lot of satisfaction in putting one back on the road as it was meant to be with everything working again as perfectly as we can make it. Its new owners should not have to do much of anything to it, except to personalize it with extra enhancements. The floorplan of this one has a sofabed behind the driver, a bench seat dinette behind the passenger, and the bathroom in the back. (The bathroom has a separate full fiberglass shower, not with the toilet in the shower stall). Sunraders are designed with several unique features (see below) that make them quite comfortable to drive and to camp in. This original V-6 engine/chassis has only moderate miles on it -- only 80,200 which is slightly less than average for a Toyota RV. We personally know of several well-maintained Toyota Winnebago RVs with over 200,000 miles that are still on the road and being enjoyed as much as ever. This chassis is mechanically better than most, having been well-cared for by the previous owner. It was recently driven from California with no issues. An inspection by a mechanic has determined that this Toyota chassis has no engine or transmission performance issues. The engine is very clean The head gasket recall was completed in September 2002 The underside has no significant rust present The oil was just changed; coolant is full Air filter is new Engine battery is relatively new The front suspension has been serviced with new steering dampener Muffler and exhaust system are in good condition with new chrome tail-pipe tip Brakes perform adequately - 50% left on the fronts, and similar on the rears The vehicle drives straight and smoothly down the road All six tires are newly installed. It has the full-floating one-ton rear axle and six-lug wheels throughout. Spare tire is located underneath. There are Ride-Rite Air Springs in the rear to provide leveling of the load, a more comfortable ride for passengers, and for additional leveling of the coach somewhat while camping. You can have confidence that this RV will perform better than most others of this vintage. Specifically, it is MUCH more apt to be free of all the unexpected surprises that often come with used RVs that are for sale because their sellers just want them gone. Compared to most that are out there that are "projects," this one instead is in way-above-average condition. The exterior has been polished and detailed, and the exterior stripes refreshed. The outside mirrors have been refurbished to look presentable. The front wheels have been painted. The rear tail light assemblies have been cleaned and tested. Many other exterior areas have been detailed too. If you didn't know, finding a nice-looking exterior on a Toyota RV is a hard thing to come by. You can be proud to drive this stylish-looking coach. The interior of this coach is also in good condition as well, with blue-toned velvet upholstery and decor.

What you will be getting with this RV is the peace of mind that the multiple issues that regularly come with used Toyota RVs have now already been taken care of for you. The location is Morris, Illinois, which is about an hour southwest of Chicago on Interstate 80. The price of $29,950 is keeping with the time and effort and expense that it has taken us to restore it to be in the way-above-average condition that it is. The fact that we have already spent so many thousands of dollars on it means that you shouldn't need a huge budget for repairs over and above the purchase price. This is a significant factor because most buyers are not aware of the often extensive expenses (for neglected engine work, broken appliances, etc.) that will likely be required for most other used RVs that are out there for sale. Please call for more info about this unique RV and to have your questions answered, 626-798-XXXX (no texts). Leave a message with our voicemail and we will call you back soon. Phone replies will be given priority over email responses. The right next owner for this Toyota V-6 Sunrader RV is someone who knows a real gem when they see one.
