Looking for Sunline TT

Thanks Rgar..I am a SOC member also...(Janalee.)..and nothing has shown up there yet..looked at a real nice 2990 locally today but it is too long for my driveway. Still hoping though....

There is a Sunline owners forum of which I am a member. Check there:

JJ..I see you also tow with a conversion van..what are your specs on it and your TT? My mechanic/friend convinced me to give up my Wildwood because of weight...I never had a problem with it. Now I have a 24 ft camper and sure need more room..! I like a front LR and rear BR..we need to sleep separately hence the need for sofa or dinette to stay open comfortably....maybe I need to look at other brands huh? Not many rear BRs out there.

My conversion is what is called a halfback conversion… it is and has been a great tow vehicle and is a dedicated TV… it runs and looks with the exception of normal abrasion and stone chips, as good as good as new… original tow rating was a pitiful 6600 pounds I believe…

200,000 miles has good compression and burns no oil… Its towed three trailers now… the first was around 5,000 (Terry Resort) pounds dry… my Sunnybrook was 6500 dry and about 8000 loaded… this one bought in 2003 is better than 9500 pounds fully loaded and my combined weight is a little better than I think 16000 without pulling a weight slip… with this latest trailer from age and weight I had to upgrade the suspension some and have maxed out the drive axle rating and sometimes a little above…

I retired it for a year while I tried a V 10 Excursion but was more than happy to go back to the van… it just did a better job of towing, but don’t climb the mountains at high speed like the 10 would… its comfortable on most of the mountain interstate hills at 50 to 55 where I limit it so it’s not upshifting to a gear that can’t hold it…

While a little power would be nice it hasn’t been troublesome at all… it’s never had to have a motor or tranny repair… even has the OEM ball joints yet… it will be hard to replace it when the time comes but the replacement would have to be a one ton chassis…

Thanks Grumpy and JJ...but I noticed those...the reason I am stopping at an '02 or even '03,is because when the new owners took over the company, they put stationary front windows in..I like to open my windows. May be one of the reasons they went under?

Finding one of that model only and that narrow of a year range won’t yield much more than already sold units… if you go newer you will have an easier time…

go look and load up with chocolate while you are there…

There is one listed in the RV Trader, a 2006 in Fla.

Yes I have checked CL...almost the entire Pa. listings and most of NJ and NY....Fla.too! Called dealers..its like they all disappeared! Found two that were sold though...lol...my luck...Janalee

Craigslist

Have you been checking Craiglist?

Yes..they are a great product--I now own my sixth Sunny, an '02 2363--but need a bit more space for snowbirding. By the way, I am located in NE Pa..but will travel within reason. Thanks..Janalee
