Hi Barb and JR
Welcome and congrats on your new camper.
Gee, a fellow central Ohioan and at least in the area..... We are up by the Columbus Zoo about ~ hour or more north from you.
Have fun fixing up your camper and ask away on any questions. Seems the goose neck Sunline is coming back to life. A few years ago we only had 1 member or some with now. Now we have a few of you. 
Good luck
John

Welcome! It looks like you're rescuing it from Fred Sanford's yard, but it looks mostly complete. Original hubcap too!!! The lights that have been disassembled are easy available at RV dealers new.
A little Awesome cleaner from the dollar store should clean up the exterior really nice.
Btw, you have an F-1850, not an M1850. The M is a designation given by NADA Guides, and isn't a Sunline thing.

Yeah I have a bunch of them in my albums on my profile but none of the loft and bathroom yet which I just recently finished up..It looks soooo good in the loft now.will post them very soon....Check your vent in there because its designed to leak in my opinion...water likes to get around it and run down hill..I finally fixed mine but it can be a little tedious...I had no serious water damage though...also check the front window and make sure its sealed properly....
