Notes:

• This is a Toyota Sunrader Adventure-II. I'm told they're very rare, with fewer than 200 produced. I doubt more than 50 exist today.
• It has something like 95,000 miles on its original engine.
• It has an automatic transmission with overdrive.
• It gets 14-17mpg -- not bad for an RV.
• It appears to have the original six-lug, one-ton axle. Details about why that's good are in the Toyota RV enthusiasts' group.
• This is possibly the best-documented Toyota Sunrader Adventure-II in existence. I have extensive documentation going back to its original purchaser.
• The person two owners before me was an electrician. She rigged up an electric motor to raise and lower the pop-top in place of the manual crank. Full schematics included.
• All systems work O.K., with minor exceptions noted below. I'm told the truck part is in very good shape for a vehicle of this age.
• I've put several thousand dollars into it since I got it in April 2009. I'm selling because I don't have the time to enjoy it.
• If you're not familiar with vehicles of this type, get familiar before considering the purchase: They have their quirks. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/toyota-campers/ is an incredibly active group of enthusiasts. (These babies have quite a following... for good reason.)

Known issues:

• The electrical system should be looked at. It died a few years ago during a trip and was repaired by a Toyota dealership -- I don't think they did it right. The battery runs down within a week during the winter.
• The muffler is rusted out, and there may be other rust holes in the exhaust.
• A knowledgeable inspector believes the valves could use adjusting. (I had them adjusted, but he said they're particularly touchy on these old Toyotas.)
• It has lived in northeastern Ohio for the later part of its life, and has rust typical of the area. I replaced the driver's-side rocker ($300, I think), but see the photos.
• I once had trouble getting the cabin heater to work, but don't know what the problem was.
• The refrigerator has a mild but pernicious smell I can't get rid of.
• The bed -- which goes across the back -- will be uncomfortable for tall people. I'm 5'9" and am cramped when sleeping on my stomach with my arms above my head.
• It has the usual material wear of a vehicle of this age: faded cloth, moderately cracked rubber, etc.
• The RV's side door lock is unusual. It works, but requires babying.
• A rivet broke in the pop-top's mechanism. I replaced it to the best of my ability, but it should be looked at.
