Ooh, Toyota quality, 4wd, & fiberglass shell. I too am lusting after this rig. Beautifully & intelligently redone from the truck mechanicals to the interior. I'm inspired & impressed. Thanks!
Yeah I spotted him a while back. In this video he mentions the bigger motor but didn't specify what it was. This thing actually came with the old 22r 4 cylinder which for this was obviously grossly underpowered. He put in the 3.4 V6 that was used in 3rd gen 4Runner's and 1st gen Tacoma's. (If you opted for the V6 package)
Superb quality notwithstanding, the vehicle chassis is already over 40 years old, which is long past its natural life. Maintain something that old could be an issue as parts would be obsolete.
I have noticed that quite a few experienced "van lifers" dispose of sinks and showers inside a vehicle. I have seen hellish water damage totally destroy a beautiful van build, too. Keep your plumbing outside.
This rig has an incredible amount of space saving, organizational and just plain cool extras....Wonderful work all the way around! Thanks so much for sharing Bob, Brad & Lily!
I am a registered nurse and when I have patients that have broken an arm or have wound care, we recommend sponge baths even up to 8 weeks they survive very well. I think we could learn a lot from this.
A spray bottle of vinegar water really satisfies cleaning needs and wants. Reusable towels or paper towels and then I don’t miss a shower at all really.
Smart! Everything about this rig is well thought out and useful. I want to do the four cameras on my van when I get it, but I never thought about it being used for driving so there are no blindspots. What a smart idea! Also, putting the fridge up front is such a good idea. It saves space and you can have a cold drink while you are driving. hahaha
Hi! I've been looking for where to post this, so I guess this video will have to do. On Amazon you have a video from a very helpful lady about how to fold the Abco Pop Up Tent, and I want to thank you and her for making that video available. Amazon has plenty of videos from helpful people eager to show us how to do it. Well, I watched a few of them and got nowhere. One guy folded his tent beyond the camera frame, a couple of others did it so fast I have no idea what they did. But that lady.... ohh, she is wonderful! Particularly that part about where to put your hands on the tent and how to bring them together. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I did the same. I had an off road trailer built to my specifications and it’s totally off grid as well with a Bluetti AC200Max, 800 watt solar panels, Zero Breeze AC and a Joolca hot water heater. It goes wherever my Jeep Wrangler can go! I travel with my Labrador retriever.
Great arrangement! What an innovative rig. And they're right - now I want to look for one of these Toyota Sunraders! Will definitely find Brad's channel.
Awesome interview and tour, what a great rig!! I would love to have one of these. I actually recall seeing this rig in Arizona this past January and thought it was so cool! I like the no sink versatility as well as the hammock system!
I know of a sunraider camper. It's in desperate need of a complete.. it's a slide in camper for a pickup.. I'm going to get it for a motorhome type rig
I worked at Sunrader in the early 80s, I sure wish they still made them. Thanks for sharing
Wow! that is so nice!!! He should build camper vans for others for a living/side hustle. He has a Gift!!!! Love this!!!

@@mrslcomA steel chassis only last 40 years 😢 (sarcasm). That thing is a total gut rehab. Not a lot of 40 year old parts.
I love the no sink! And the rear storage. And side storage. And cab access. Great job.
Indeed. I stopped using a sink years ago. It encourages saving water, creates more storage, & keeps things cleaner.

Incredible rig, interior and exterior! He's a genius.

One of my favorite interviews so far. What a delightful person and a great setup!
A man and his dog...doesn't get much better 🐕
Especially on the peanut butter nights
Mmmm... except maybe a woman and HER dog... 😛😉
👍
@@jizim8947🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wonderful set up. I understand Cedar helps repel insects too. Love the Sun Raider. Perfect for you and your Dog! 😎
I can’t believe how many new ideas Bradley brought, Thanks for sharing your genius (and obviously building skills). Thanks Bob and team CRVL❤
So Happy for him to Jumping off the Precipice and making the Decision to live his life this way. I'm a Vehicle Dweller too.
You are ingenious. Love your camper.
This is BEAUTIFUL. And yes -- I want one!!! He's given me several good ideas!

I got to have a shower it would drive me crazy

Ive been doing a couple years in a little Chevy Spark camper conversion, I need to make an appearance on this show 😊
Yeah you do!
So Many fantastic ideas! Best of luck to you! Thanks for sharing your rig and your life!
Thanks, Bob. Very cool.
Amazing setup I'm envious!
If I could afford a sunrader, I would definitely be full-time on it. Really love it! The looks the factionality everything!
Really nice ride thanks again Bob great job 👍👍
If I recall correctly, I met Bradley and his Sunrader on the Natchez Trace. If not Bradley, he has a doppelganger driving a similar Sunrader. Be safe.
Puts my Toyota Winnie Warrior to shame but I still love her.
Its more spacious inside than you would originally think.
I like it.
Thank you for sharing..
Wow! He has done a fantastic build. Well designed and even better made.
Sunraders are the greatest thing ever.
Smart! Everything about this rig is well thought out and useful. I want to do the four cameras on my van when I get it, but I never thought about it being used for driving so there are no blindspots. What a smart idea! Also, putting the fridge up front is such a good idea. It saves space and you can have a cold drink while you are driving. hahaha
Very cool
Oh wow, he definitely maximized space but I love having the bathroom/shower in my Sunrader.
What a great little home on wheels!! Love it!! All one needs!!
Lovely man n dog, RIP Doug n Buddy
Beautiful life!!
Adorable pup and great rig setup! Cheers - Nola
His rig is freaking awesome..I'd take it over the new stuff any day.! Good luck in your adventures 😬
Nice and clean for the gentleman and his doggo❤
Thanks for the excellent materials and working my way towards your world.God bless.
A nice job on this camper. It looks fully functional and a cozy place to live. A great video, Bob.
I wish I had the skills to do what he did.❤ Love the pegboard…great quilting idea.
What a great rig! He could pick up extra helping others retrofit their spaces. He's got the knack!
Hello Brad and Lilly! Good to see you on Bob’s channel. I hope the collaboration boosts yours as well. Thanks for sharing Bob!
Hey Brad. Has the cold given your lithium any problems? Great well thought out and capable rig by the way.
What a beautiful neat home! I esp. love the way the wood burner is set up and that ultra-creative spice rack.

This is the perfect setup!
I’ve seen Brad’s channel & have learned a lot about the interior building! He definitely a good follow! Thank you Brad & Bob for this video!
The pop-up silicone basin is such a simple and more versatile solution than an installed sink.

Absolutely love this rig!
