Are there other Facebook groups for Sunline?
Great place for sharing camping pics and chatting. Only 92 people right now.

I guess I needed to join but it looked like the last post was in 2012. Posts here are more recent. I prefer this site to Facebook, I think. Here we have the "files" tab up top to get more Sunline information. Between that and JohnB, what more do you need?




Edited to add: I did see a most interesting website I hadn't visited in a long time. A most interesting couple.

Generally the average Sunline owner is older and less likely to be on Facebook. I think there will be a shift over time, and it's starting to happen now as younger people pick up the older ones and start fixing them up.

Which one? There have been recent posts in the Sunline group I linked above.

That's the only group I'm aware of. There's a page for this site, that the owner created automatically, but being a page, no one knows when someone posts there.

*RAISES HAND* I'm one of the younger ones who picked up an older one and is starting to fix it up. Im only 38 and pickup up an '83 (I was 5 when this thing was built).

I just got my '84 recently. First camper I have owned that was built in my lifetime. I have technically owned four others. But two only breifly and past on and the other two I still have.

Lol it's the direction I think this club will go in very soon! In the throwaway society we grew up in, people will start wanting a piece of their childhood again and have the chance to recycle something into a new life. The vintage camper restoration business/hobby has skyrocketed in just a few short years. I remember my first Sunline flip (which was built before I was even born!), they just considered it an old trailer with no value. That trailer recently re-sold last fall for over $5000...

That said, I'm still waiting to see a Sunline ad top something like this:

22 Foot Long ***** Magnet.

I have a 1966 Scotty, a 1973 Apache Ramada (hard sided pop up) and now a 1984 Sunline T-1661 I think it is.
So I get the vintage thing

Quite a nice collection there!

I'm still keeping an eye out for a cheap, original, Leola built, pre-'65 Shasta Airflyte to put behind my '59 Merc. It will be a more appropriate combo for taking to Tin Can Tourist rallies, but we'll see how it goes with the Sunline this fall. More importantly, I'm trying to find a Sunline like the one I grew up in, that I can keep and preserve to a degree before they are harder to find. I've spent over 10 years trying to find the exact trailer and while I haven't completely given up, I do want to find one like it sooner than later.

If you spot my '99 T-2453, let know. I want it back, not replace the Cougar, but to have a compact alternative for short jaunts.
