Our 1987 Sunline Saturn T-1661
|
A few weeks ago, I purchased our first camper. It's a Sunline Saturn T-1661.
I found this little gem on Craigslist and bought it for a $1,000.00. I was very impressed to discover that ALL of the accessories are in good working condition including the air-conditioner, refridgerator, stove, lights, furnace etc.
The trailer frame was in great condition, barely any surface rust. I wire brushed the tounge and bumper and gave it a coat of glossy rustoleum black paint. I'll be using the same paint on the rails beneath.
It had some damage to the rear interior due to a leaking roof. There were leaks around the roof vent, the vent pipes and I found some holes in the body.
I have been reworking the damaged section by ripping out all the rot and reframing it.
It was a bit of challenge at first, trying to find a place to begin the restructuring, because I wanted to build up from the base and then throughout.
I began at the door jam after removing and reworking the door and then I worked my way across the ceiling to the other side, cutting away the bad material and tying in the new with the old.
The bathroom area is finished, taking about two days to complete. I'm now working through the cabinet area and back over to the door jam. With a total of 4 days work I'll be finished with the framing and new insulation by the end of this weekend.
Once the interior walls are completed, I'm adding a exterior cable tv connection for use with satelite tv or cable or a coaxial antenna.
I also have to trade-in the 25 year old propane tanks and get a new set and a cover.
Things to come;
1. New tires, possibly breaks.
2. New shut off valve behind toilet.
3. New wiring harness/adapter for towing.
4. Exterior running lights
I hope you enjoy the pictures I'm posting of the work I'm doing on this camper. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, I will share any knowledge I have.
Thanks for viewing!
