Sunliner Motor Home

I'm considering purchasing a Sunliner Mirage Motorhome, built on a Toyota Hilux chassis. It's a 2003 model, petrol automatic transmission (although I was looking for a diesel), and I'm wondering if there is anyone on this forum that either has one, or has any knowledge of one. I'm planning on becomming a solo traveller for the first time, although I have travelled extensively with my late husband but the time has unfortunately come when I will have to do it alone. All input welcomed, safe travels everyone.....

Cheers,

Annie

Hi Annie
If you put that info into the search box it will give you all the info that others may have posted previously.
Safe travels to you

Cheers,

Annie

Wait for a diesel.
Get it weighed before you purchase it to make sure it will carry the fuel, water and personal stuff that you need.

Cheers,
Peter

I agree with Peter as well. Wait for a diesel. Better. More fuel efficient and will go a lot longer mileage than a petrol model ( I think ) Don't want to start WW3

Oh. Meant to say. The hilux is a good vehicle. If you can afford the d4d model, I think they started about 2007, great engine, fuel efficient and reliable. Its the 3 litre 4 cyclinder diesel. Just a thought.

Thanks everyone, I haven't made a final decision yet as the NRMA inspection won't be carried out until Saturday. If it's a good report I'm very tempted, firstly because it's a Toyota Hilux (we previously owned one) and secondly the fact that it has a low km reading - a bit over 120,000. Unfortunately an automatic diesel vehicle with the layout I prefer (double bed over cab), means a much bigger outlay than I want to spend. I don't intend "going around the block" again, so no major trips to worry about fuel consumption. No matter which way I go, I hope to be joining you on the road before too long. Thanks once again,

Annie
