1992 T2250 Help

I am trying to restore a project camper and am having trouble. It’s a 1992 Sunline T2250. The bathroom portion of this section was missing when I acquired it. I replaced the floor joist and ripped out most of rotted wood from the area and am ready to replace plywood. The hot water heater is there but there are no water lines connected. What do I need to run lines to the toilet and shower area. Any suggestions I have attached pictures. Thanks y’all

Hi Bruan.
Don't know if you received any help with your endeavors yet. I'm not an expert but I know John B has a vast knowledge on rebuilding campers.

Hi Bruan,

So sorry, I missed your post for some reason. Each time we come to the forum, little orange lights show for new posts for each member and somehow I missed this one. But I am here now and will be watching for it. For the future, if you end up not getting any responses, please just do a quick reply to your thread and that will bring it back the the new post status and it will show up again. Someone normally responds with something.

To your help questions, not sure where you are now, but lets start talking if you still need help.

I looked up your floor plan to try to see where things might be in your camper. Is this your floor plan? 1992 Saturn T2250. I blew up the image in the brochures catalog and the pic a little fuzzy but we should be able to work
with it.



I am not sure exactly by your pics where the water heater is located, by chance is it on the left rear (non door side) side under the bottom bunk, or is it on the right side, (door side) next to the fridge at the floor area?

I can tell by the Tee on the bottom of the heater, Sunline ran a cold water line to that tee as a supply line and then went down the line to feed other cold water needs.

Where is the water pump on your floor plan? The master cold water line from the fresh tank starts at the pump, then branches out to other places. And there is a city water cold water pressure feed also somewhere in the piping. This is so you can screw a potable water hose into the outside of the camper and it will pressurize the system. Is that city water connection still intact?

The hot water line, originates at the top of the water heater, and then it supplies the sinks and the shower.

Sunline would have used all 1/2" nominal gray colored polybutylene piping when building your camper. The polyB was replaced with 1/2" PEX as time went on in the Sunlines. Here is a blurb on polybutylene, Not that it is the authoritive version, but it helps explain what it is and one opinion on why it was no longer used. https://www.polybutylene.com/poly.html

The toilet, not sure what you have that screws into the black tank. There should be a toilet floor flange that mounts flush on top of the floor, screws to the floor and there is a piece of black ABS pipe that screws into the tank. Do you have that floor flange and pipe, or do you need to see what it would look like? We have pics/stuff to share, just do not know if you need it at this point.

So let us know what you need help with now, and we will see what we can do.

Thanks to Roger posting to re-highlight your post.

John

John,

Water heater under bunks not sure if it works was not hooked up when I purchased the camper . The water pump is under stove next to water tank under the sink. I do not have the flange or the pipe that screws into black tank for toilet? Any pictures of my model camper would be great. I do not have a fridge , a shower, a sink or a toilet yet. Does the fridge half to be propane? Or is an electric fridge to much for the electric panel? Got into this as a fun project. But hard to find actual plans of the specific camper. The floor model blue print is the camper I have. Thanks for all your help

This is how Sunline did the toilet floor flange on the newer campers. I suspect this will work for yours.

This post has pics of the floor flange and the 3” ABS pipe screwed into the black tank. You will have to adjust the length of the 3” pipe to fit your floor. They ABS solvent welded the pipe to the floor flange. More pics through this post. see the end of it too for more.
https://www.sunlineclub.com/forums/f...elp-17689.html

Here is the 3” ABS pipe nipples https://www.valterra.com/product-cat...eaded-nipples/
Here is one of the ABS floor flanges but maybe not a threaded one. https://www.recpro.com/rv-toilet-mou...closet-flange/

You may be able to buy some of them at a local lumber yard. But they may all be solvent weld fittings and not threaded

This is the Valteraa threaded one I was looking for, a bit pricey but they have it https://www.amazon.com/Valterra-T05-...0594AMBY&psc=1

The threaded nipple, this is short and may work on your shallow depth floor

And a little longer

RV toilets are available, Here are the two major brands. Figure out which you want then hunt for the best price

https://www.thetford.com/products/toilets/rv-toilets/

Dometic bought out the Sealand brand. Sunline used a lot of these in the newer campers. They not have the 300 and 500 series RV toilets. The Dometic site does not show a whole lot that I can find on the 300 and 500 series, but PPL selling them does.
https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/search...dometic+toilet

Figure out what you want, then search for the better deals. Or ask more question here what is the right for a camper.
Here are some sinks https://www.recpro.com/rv-plumbing/

Showers, not sure how big you have, I just put in a shower surround in one of my project campers. This link will drop you in the middle of a long post on the camper to the shower install. Lots of pics https://www.sunlineclub.com/forums/f...tml#post151304

Specialty Recreation is who sells the surrounds Bath Products – specrec.com

The fridge, the camper was setup as a stand-alone camper that could run on only battery to be off grid if wanted. This is where the LP gas and with the option for electric fit in well. The LP gas gave you a nice cold fridge without using a lot of 12 VDC power. I like them, but they do cost if you have no left over working fridge. Many folks on older campers, install a dorm size fridge, the larger ones that is and they work OK, just you always need to camp where there is 120 VAC. The camper was setup to be on 30 amp 120 VAC power. That will run a dorm type fridge without issues.

That said, if you have a roof top AC unit, and a microwave, you are going to have to do power monitoring as all of them on at the same time will trip the 30 amp. This will even happen if you have the LP gas/electric fridge too. The RV fridge on electric will pull 325 watts of 120 VAC which is not a super lot, but something to keep track of. You just have to learn, if you are microwaving, shut the roof AC off, microwave when done, then turn the AC back on. If you have a water heater that is LP and Electric, run the water heater on gas when running the AC unit. And same goes for the microwave too.

Ask away as you work through your restore project. And we like seeing pics of your progress.

Hope this helps

John

Hi Braun,

We hunted down some pics for you. These pics are from SunlineFan, so thank him, I'm just helping get them to you up on my photo server so you can see them. These links will take you to my Fickr photo album, you can see them all there.

Here are a few of a 1992 T2250. There are limited pics, but it may be help. https://www.flickr.com/photos/camper...57718939801511

Here is a 1993 T2250 with many more pics. This folder has several and some good shots of the bath room setup and shower.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/camper...57719067137425

We have some more 1993 pics if wanted, but they are repeats in different colors for the most part. We can post them to if wanted.

Hope this helps

John
