G'day Murray, I love a challenge!  The deterioration and the funny camera angles on this one make it a bit hard, but I reckon it's got some of the distinguishing marks of a 9 ft Sunshine - not that it looks as if it has seen much (sunshine) for a while! I'm not 100% sure by any means, but the general shape, the fact that it seems to have a stable door, the shape of the wheel arch and the porthole windows suggest Sunshine to me. Just pop around and see if you can find the Sunshine nameplate can you please?* (If it hasn't fallen off.) Don Ricardo * Just kidding! |

Not sure I'd give you the prize on that guess DonR!!!! The front windows are quite different, as is the internal cabinet ware. There is certainly a similarity in the lightning bolt colour trim - concept is similar, but angled differently. Advertiser claims it's a 15 footer. which Sunshine didn't make. In addition, it's a LONG way from its original build factory!
Having said all, that, I'm not sure what it could be either! Sorry!!

Hi Roehm, 15 ft? I didn't check the advert, but it doesn't look that long. I wonder if the seller included the A-frame in that? However, Sunshine did build single axle vans up to 16 ft and tandems up to 25 ft, so the size doesn't entirely count it out. I concede that the cupboards are different, and also that the front window is different to other Sunshines we've seen. But on the other hand quite a few builders transitioned from two front windows to a single wide window, so maybe... And as for the question that it's in Tassie...the Sunshine ads say "Southern Clients especially catered for."  You may be right on all your points, but the stable door is a particularly Queensland feature. Don Ricardo |
