After years of searching, I've found a Sun Lite Camper!

[@boondocksoverlandandoutdoors]

Dude what a deal!!!! And yooo you slapped it on a 80s Yota?! Mad respect! What a sweet combo man! Happy for y’all! Looking to get into one but for my first Gen Tundra

[@jcb0249]

I found one recently, But I was wondering how it would fit in the bed of my truck (1973 Ford Courier/Mazda B1800) Seeing this video, and knowing that the Toyota and Courier have basically the same bed measurements helped me make the decision on it. Thanks for posting, this was immensely helpful!

I picked up my 1986 sunlite eagle 8 ft pop up $150... love it and it was in pretty good shape... have a great time camping

[@outrigger9553]

Congratulations on your find. I have 1999 Sunlie on my 2001 F150. I put Timbrens in the rear to prevent sway. Love our setup. Will subscribe to you and see how the remodel goes.

[@Jmisslyn]

Just pounced on a 2004 Sunlite Sunvalley last month. I called and told the guy I was on my way with cash in hand...learned a hard lesson and had missed out on one prior.

[@coltwinchester6124]

What did that cost you. I am going to look at a 1997 today. Been stored inside of a barn. They are asking $3,000.

[@Jmisslyn]

@@coltwinchester6124 It was a 2004, I paid 5000.00. It was very clean.

[@coltwinchester6124]

@@Jmisslyn what are your thoughts on a 1997 Eagle WT. Has the toilet, outside shower, AC . Been barn keeper for over ten years. Looks very clean. Asking price $3000. Thanks for the reply.

[@Jmisslyn]

@@coltwinchester6124 Sounds like a good price. I didn't want a toilet. Sounds like a good deal, check out the roof, and and all of the corners. If it smells moldy, it could have some leaks.

[@realtor411]

Nice find! I just picked up a 90s Sun Lite truck camper that the mice had a field day in! :( I guess for $200 you can't complain!) I finally got the mouse pee smell out after a day of cleaning, now time to tackle the rear roof issues and nasty canvas with mouse holes! It's all part of the adventure! :)

[@Flamefuels]

Just picked up a 1988 Sunlite eagle slide in , loving it . There are only 3 jacks by design ( fridge, heater and heavy stuff on drivers side .

[@jasonsmith6408]

Wow that fits on that truck nice. Looks great! $200 is a steal!

[@jasonsmith6408]

I picked up a 1992 Palomino pop up for $900. Great shape. Drove 12 hours round trip and spent 90 minutes loading it! I'm in VA and we are planning a cross country trip next summer. See yall on the road!

[@coltwinchester6124]

Did you ever make any update videos on your camper?

[@larrycoon907]

I have a 1988 sun lite.Have gotten some parts from popup trailers

[@reddragon9708]

Got the same year and adding the 4th jack now... $426 for one jack!

[@skyking252]

I’m looking forward to a follow up on this one.

[@chrishorst6993]

I don’t like the three legged lift system. Just put four.

[@Johnfor3]

I just bought one last weekend just like for 300

[@elmore119]

They do make a handle with a longer piece where he can put a pin in the back of it

[@elmore119]

The jacking it up is always a problem on that you got too cranky it and then push it in with your hand cranky and pushed him with your hand

[@amywachtel9269]

Hey what year is your sunlite? What truck do you drive? I'm debating a 1990 sunlite and i drive a 2011 ford ranger.

[@guyh.4553]

Don't debate, pull the trigger! I found a Jayco Sportster 7 that I immediately got that is far better that this... except that the roof decided it wanted to learn how to fly.

[@billyweston949]

Anyone know where to find the roof corner caps that ties sides for latches roof and all together I bought a 1992 skamper 080s few weeks back my only issue

[@bobleo873]

Anyone know how to find a canvas? Or order one when you don’t have one?

[@flj232]

I found one, but guy says it won’t go up. Says it’s the mechanism that raises it that is bad. Any ideas on how to repair?

[@legacynorthwest1249]

No idea. I sold mine shortly after this video.

[@VideoIconic]

You can replace the mechanism and tool to raise the pop-up.

[@VideoIconic]

Dude I bought an Apache 2002 model (almost the same) about a year and a half ago. Everything original and everything works $4K Had to rewire for tail lights and get a new AC shroud. Also, the crank has a tapered gear and its teeth were getting chewed up. So I had to get an new one. The only thing left to do is the running lights on the lid/roof perimeter are not working. Do you have a follow up video after re-build?

[@coltwinchester6124]

Did you get your outside roof lights working. I have the same problem on mine.

[@VideoIconic]

@@coltwinchester6124 yes sir. I messed around with the wiring. I figured out what wires were going to my truck- running lights, brake, and signals. I bought new tail lights and marker lights. Everything works.

[@coltwinchester6124]

The 3 jack system is stupid. I added a jack and moved the one in the middle to the back corner.

[@reddragon9708]

Right! I'm adding the 4th jack right now.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Dude sorry I been busy I did get your text! I'll try to get back to you this morning, id love to have one of those RV's. I have a literally basically never used Marine toilet id trade for something cool $200!! Dude congratz on the anniversary you got a cool lady! There is a RV junkyard north of portland I believe and then this place in salem on silverton road called like oak road RV, they had used stuff also years ago.

[@legacynorthwest1249]

No worries man. I dont have a use for the rv toilet unfortunately. But thanks for the offer!

[@garrybrown2529]

Now you’re going to spend $2,000 fixing it! Great deal.

[@mackandcompany]

How do you keep your jacks up sideways when it’s loaded?

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Put a stick in both of them. Jack them towards eachother.

[@coltwinchester6124]

Bolts,

[@bob_frazier]

Congrats, guys! Try Northwest RV Suply in Eugene. 541-746-9092. They had some parts for my canopy rebuild, and tons or random rv parts.

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Thanks for the info dude, ill call them soon and see what they might hsve for the pop up. This thing is pretty gross at the moment.

[@tefamilyadventures]

Great video! Keep up the good work. If you have a moment go have a browse of my page 😊 ✌️

[@guyh.4553]

I stopped the audio after realizing that you can't speak w/o being foul mouthed. Trust me, I'm a Combat Engineer & and speak "rough". But don't put that kind of crap on KZbin!

[@seeharvester]

But-ton, not butt-in.
