My Sunrader's pop roof spans the whole top of the
machine. When in the down position the rig looks
like a converstion van, and unless you look close
the rubber seal looks like a normal van rain gutter.
On the road it drives very firm and stable. Never
a cross wind or truck vortex problem.
The bed/table setup is on the left side. Over the
cab is storage. It too had fake windows in front,
made from contact paper. I removed them. The unit
has a side door and a huge "clam shell" back door.
Like your Chinook, this truck looks long, low and
slick. This summer I plan to spiff it and post some
Pix.
I just got it on the road this Fall after it had
a five year sleep. It was a mess. The plumbing was
split in many places (Quest). The cabin electricl
system (Battery and isolator) were shot, and every
ground was bad. All the cabin keys were lost.
Up front, the fenders were shot, water poured in
under the dash to the left front floor board and
the windshild was cracked all the way across. Only
one headlight worked, no rear anything lit up.
There was no exhaust system left. Cat, muffler
pipes were not even on the truck. All the engine
belts were shot. But I changed the oil, started
it up, and drove it 15 miles home.
I have about 3k in it now (counting purchase price,
parts my cheap labor at $10 an hour). But it has been
a fun and rewarding project, and it's one of the most
enjoyable machines I have ever owned.
