Molded Fiberglass Motorhomes
There were a number of molded fiberglass motorhomes built on the Toyota pick-up and 1 ton chassis from 1973 until at least 1992. (A few were also built on Datsun/Nissan chassis 1983-1988) The most well known are the Sunraders, built in Vallejo, CA, first as a slide in camper, then as a motorhome, 1972- 1992 and also in Elkhart, IN 1981-1988. I have owned 4 Sunraders and currently own the last production unit from the Elkhart facility, a 19', 1989 Sunrader Adventure-II pop-up.
Other major builders included Chinook, 1973(?)-1979, Mirage 1980(?)-1986 and a very few others. Several sites for enthusiasts, one with over 6000 members, exist on-line.
BTW: I also owned a TRAVCO molded fiberglass, Class "C", a few years back as well.
