Rare find, priced to sell! These are hard to find, especially in the midwest.

Collector's Item Cult Classic - 1978 Sunrader, 17ft - built before the 5 lug axle became a problem (very light weight!).

20R engine meticulously maintained.
3rd owner! I bought from original owner's son in Idaho.
Very little surface rust on underside. Structure is solid.

Upgrades:
- Rebuilt benches
- Refurbished radiator
- Steel and plexiglass gate between house and cab - perfect for traveling with your road dog
- NEW LED outside lights
- NEW Headlights
- NEW larger bathroom hatch and fan
- NEW front suspension and shocks
- NEW winshield wiper motor and tank
- Insulated
- NEW cooktop
- NEW custom natural latex antimicrobial mattress - a perfect fit and barely used
- NEW Custom Generator box (fits Honda 2000)
- NEW Eagle head that lights up on front grill - very cool

Removed to create more storage space:
- Old obsolete heater
- 1978 Water tank
- 1978 Toilet - gross, you'll be glad this is already done! Bathroom is ready for renovation or to be used as storage closet / changing room

Original:
- 20R engine - these run forever
- Rear hatchback
- Vintage indoor lights - super cute
- Switch in engine to disconnect the house power - easy and convenient way to ensure you don't drain your main battery because of a forgotten light
- Fridge
