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

Original:
