This particular Sun Rader has the legendary 4 cylinders 22RE Engine paired with a 4 Speed Manual Transmission ( in my opinion, this is the best combination). While the V6 gives you more power, it is well established that the 22RE is more reliable, particularly because it uses a timing chain vs. a belt.

Pop-Top Chinook Barn Find Project

Troutmobile - 1976 Toyota Chinook 

- 22R upgrade (originally came with 20R) - regularly serviced 
- Holley Sniper Fuel Injection System Upgrade with Digital Display
- Rebuilt Automatic Transmission
- Headman Header Upgrade 
- Offenhauser Intake 
- Electric Fan Upgrade
- Firestone Air Ride Rear Bag setup
- Propane Fridge 
- 1000 BTU propane Heater 
- Sink with water tank
- Roof Racks for Kayaks or drift boat 

Recent Maintenance : Ball joints, u-joints, shocks, wheel bearings, rotors, calipers and pads. All steering from gearbox to wheels has been replaced or upgraded. 
Only completely fiberglassed roof we have ever seen on a 70's Toyota Chinook (we own several).  Unlike the pop tops, which have issues with water leaking inside and sagging roofs. Over the 10 years we have owned the Troutmobile, no leaking or water issues. We have only put kayaks on the roof racks. The original owner would put a drift boat on top. Being able to bring water crafts on your next adventure, adds a whole layer of fun. Roof Racks are also removable as well. 
The heater warms up the space in no time. Removable propane stove top for options, since we like to cook outside a lot. Driven around Yellowstone and Teton area mostly the last ten years. California owned prior. One of the few Rvs small enough to be able to drive the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. All the comforts with the ability to park in the front row! 

With the Holley Sniper Fuel Injection setup it makes cruising in the mountains a breeze. Don't have to worry about changing injectors for elevation or adjusting your carbs like old Toyotas do. Good frame, no rotting. Still have original "Fooly Dually" wheels if interested. Only thing you might want to upgrade is the stereo but we love old tapes and love the ability to play them.

RARE 1978 17ft Sunrader Shorty Hatchback - Live the dream!

This is an ultra rare 1981 Toyota Rockwood model.  Previously only thought to have been made on the Nissan chassis in the early 80s.

Quick History on this RV:

In the early 80s two neighbors in Montana went into retirement together. One bought a Sunrader and the other this Rockwood.  The owner of the this Rockwood went on one or two trips a year in it and passed away in 1986 leaving it to his wife.  She then sold it to the Sunrader neighbor where it sat behind his shop until he died sometime in the early 2000's.

After that the Rockwood was left to his son who left it behind the home shop until 2024 when a friend/acquaintance from Pocatello did some work on his diesel truck and accepted the Rockwood as payment for his skills and services. He brought it back to Pocatello and began restoration including cleaning the tank in 2024 and resealing the roof in 2025.

The interior renovation was left unfinished and because he had too many other projects taking priority he decided to list it up for sale.  The current owner ended up trading some services and another truck for the rig in the hopes of making some cool memories and taking trips with his girlfriend.  Unfortunately the current owner's girlfriend does not have interest in the motorhome and she particularly does not like it because its a manual transmission.

This 1981 Toyota Rockwood is now being offered for sale and facilitated by Toyota RV For Sale as a Full Service Listing.  

What makes this rig special:

-One of the only Toyota Chassis Rockwood models spotted in the last 10 years listed for sale.  This was a limited run and typically found on the Nissan/Datsun platform.  Later "Rockwood" models produced in the early 90s were made by Rockwood Inc. out of Goshen, Indiana and featured a different layout.  These also were very rare.
-From the backstory and the state of the engine, the odometer reading of 3,389 is believed to be original miles!  It has also been confirmed by a local mechanic that all the major engine components are original further backing this assertion.

The Positives:

-Runs Great (See startup clip at end of the gallery)
-Drives Great
-AC Blows Gold
-Heater Works
-New Roof
-No Leaks
-Has newer inverter from a 5th wheel
-Fridge, Heater, Water Pump all work
-Fresh Oil Change in 2025
-New Spark Plugs
-Fuel Pump & Voltage Regulator Installed

Known Issues:

-Pre '86 these motorhomes were made on the 5 lug rear axle.  These were recalled as they cannot handle the weight of a MH when loaded.  For intensive use and safety a 6-lug swap would be recommended.
-The tires still have acceptable tread and hold air but are older and will likely need to be replaced for intensive use (will get date codes soon)
-This was a low use motorhome and the interior is in very good shape for its age.  It is however unfinished

Final Thoughts:
This Rockwood would make a great running project for an enthusiast looking for a very rare model with low original miles.  Mechanically it is sound and there is plenty of opportunity to take this interior and customize it to the new owner's desires.

We are working very close with the owner to facilitate the marketing and sale of this vehicle. As part of the sale we are also providing secure funds transfer via escrow as well as title transfer. Shipping can also be facilitated – should the need for that arise.

Ultra Rare 1981 Toyota Rockwood Motorhome w/ < 3500 Org Miles

This was a recent purchase for me and my family and it is back on the market! We only took this Toyota on a handful of local trips and it worked flawlessly. Engine starts right up and all appliances work, except generator (most these generators never lasted long).

1993 Toyota Winnebago Warrior all original California vehicle – 13 MPG

About 77,000 miles, so plenty of life!

The layout on this RV is the most popular amongst Toyota RVs. Layout includes: cab over bed, dinette w/ bed, indoor and outdoor shower, newer toilet, gas and electric fridge and freezer. Refrigerator works great and gets ice cold!

Brand new tires w/ receipt!

Interior in good condition, no cracks on the dash, seats always covered. Some wear and tear, but nothing major.

Fits in regular parking spot.

Bluetooth stereo w/ upgraded 4Runner speakers.

A/C blasts freezing cold & gas heater works. Recently hooked up at campsite and it was enjoyable hanging out inside with cold air while it was scorching hot outside.

Replaced:

Ball joint suspension/ upgraded chrome bumper and grill, tires are new/brakes good/ newer engine battery/ house batteries a few years ago/ vinyl flooring/ newer toilet/ new cabin water pump/ LED bulbs throughout/ new mirrors

Bad: There was water damage with the previous owner which is very common with these 30 year old motorhomes. Ugly patch job, but does the trick. Previous owner replaced the cabover bed wood support beam with steal and new plywood. Generator might need a tune to work but not entirely sure. Roof on AC has tape and chipped, some tape on ceiling but not leaks!

This truly is a weekend warrior with plenty of life left. We got lots of compliments from people and often Toyota RV fanatics love the interior. These are becoming very rare in this condition.

1993 Winnebago Warrior in Oxnard, CA

1985 Toyota Dolphin

79k miles
22RE motor
Dual bearing 1 ton rear axle
New tires less than 1k miles on them
New clutch
4 speed standard transmission
California vehicle with minimal rust
This was a project I started several years ago. My plan was for an all-original exterior and a completely modern interior. I removed all of the siding on both sides and hammered out the majority of the dents. Rebuilt all water damaged framing.

For the studs I used standard 1×2 pine but anywhere the framing was larger (under windows, rear quarter panels, etc.) I used a very expensive light weight 3/4″ plywood from a manufacturer called Joubert. I also covered both sides with Ty-Vek house wrap prior to reinstalling the aluminum siding. The roof had been caved in a little from the previous owner. I replaced all of the rafters and doubled them up around the emergency hatch. I then covered the entire roof with a TPO membrane for superior water protection. The TPO is still black, would recommend painting it white (do NOT use an acrylic paint).

I have all of the appliances except for the three-way fridge. It was the only part I had not gotten around to purchasing, but I replaced the panels around it for a fridge of the exact same size. All of the copper gas line is still in place. I have every vent cover, water line trim, vent trim, shower trim, etc. I used to work for an experiential marketing company and have acquired several either brand new or barely used parts as well. (we would strip down trailers and campers for brands to use for mobile marketing and acquired lots of expensive RV parts. I have a brand-new toilet, and a barely used 5-gal water heater that is the exact same size to fit the existing location of the dolphin.

As I mentioned I have all of the original parts/equipment. Which all worked when I started the disassembly. Onan generator, heater, electric power station, air conditioner. I also have lots of new upgrades. LED exterior running lights, updated LED interior dome lights. I actually bought a second Dolphin and stripped it for parts, So I even have several extra windows, extra sink, oven vent hood, etc.

I kept the brake booster from the other Dolphin as I know those can be difficult to find and replace. I have 2.5″ beetle kill pine for the new flooring that is included. Beetle kill pine is a beautiful wood with blue streaks through it caused by the infectious beetle.

The 85 dolphin has the RE (fuel injected motor and the dual bearing rear 1-ton axle). My plan was never to sell this so I have far more money and time invested than I know I will be able to sell it for. This is a great deal for anyone looking to do their own flip for an incredible and rare RV for many years to come.

1985 Dolphin in Arvada, CO

It’s hard to let this one go. We’ve owned this 1982 Toyota Dolphin since 2018 and have taken it all over. It’s been part of countless family adventures and holds a lot of memories. The only reason we’re selling is because our kids are older now, and we just don’t use it as much anymore.

This classic Dolphin has been lovingly maintained and is in great condition for its age. These Toyotas are legendary for their reliability and fuel efficiency — and this one’s no exception with its bulletproof 22R 4-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual transmission.

Details:
✅ 150,000 miles
✅ 4-speed manual transmission — fun to drive and easy to maintain
✅ Great on fuel — one of the most efficient RVs you’ll find
✅ 6 brand new tires
✅ Newly sealed roof (no leaks!)
✅ Upgraded Maxxair electric roof fan — excellent airflow and cooling
