I had no idea that there were Toyota based RVs. I heard about this
site from the Rialta Egroup site, which I have been reading to gather
info before an RV purchase. I currently have a 1999 VW Eurovan, and
it is already in the shop getting a new transmission (at 16K miles).
I have had much better luck w/ my two previous vehicles- a 1984
Corolla, and a 91 MR2 (which I still have) The idea of a Toyota
motorhome is very intriging, since I've never had any major problems
w/ either of these vehicles. But, I assume that there are no NEW
Toyota based MH's, so what is the last year that they were produced?
I would love to have a new/almost new one, figuring there would be
fewer problems. What can I look for in terms of latest model years?
I see from previous posts that there were Chinooks, and other models.
If there might be a website where I could get this type of info,
please point me in the direction. Thank you for any help you can give
me. - Mar

Mar, welcome to our list.

No, sad to say there are no new Toyota MHs or campers.
And this site, although new, has most of the info you
seek. Check the Archives.

I ran VW Vanagons for years, but went with Toyota as
VW parts were impossible to find outside of major citys.

If I looking for a later model Toyota RV (they made them
up into the 90s) I would consider a Toyota/Winnabago.
I looked at a 91, 22ft (6 cyl) for $12,500 last summer.
I have seen others in the $14k range. Many of the older
Toyota Mhs are in fine conditon, with low milage.

Check the RV ad sites on line and search the newspapers.
You are bound to find a one owner beauty out there.

Thanks for all the input. I checked out the RV Online site, and sure
got to see a lot of MHs. Thanks again- Mary Schilpp

Hi Mary,

I recently went through the selection process to get the 'perfect' camper. It took me a while to find it after I narrowed it down to a Sunrader, but I did find it, just 25 miles from my house. I paid $5900 for a '86 Sunrader, 21 feet long, with roof air, dash air, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, AM/FM Cassette radio, and 4 cylinder engine.... exactly what I wanted. It did have some problems that I had to fix (leaky roof vent, leaking air bag, inoperative clearance lights, etc), but I enjoy tinkering with cars so it was fun for me.

I looked at the Dolphin, Winnebago, Itasca, and Odyssey but decided on the Sunrader because of its fiberglass construction and quality work. All of the appliances worked and it seems watertight. I did replace the curtains and repainted the walls and ceiling, which made it clean and cheerful. My wife (who was not real keen on getting a motorhome) has grown to love it. She outfitted it nicely with household stuff. She especially enjoys camping in the state parks where you are right there amoung the scenery. We spent a week in the Northern California redwoods and another week in Oak Creek Canyon, just north of Sedona Arizona. We have taken several overnight trips to the beach also.

I hope you can find what you are looking for. I saw one very similar to mine on consignment at a RV lot, but they wanted $12,900 for it, but it was super nice. I think you can get a really good one for around $8000, ready to go. Good Luck.

Jack
