my parents have a sunliner caravan maybe very early 60's model (no idea really) have to start looking for the date stamp, been reading some posts to help me find it. Time to get the wire brush out dad.
The caravan use to be my grandfathers and now resides at my parents.
They have been asked to sell many times, but haven't parted ways so far(latest offer was last night actually, wanted for a cubby house and to be painted pink...return offer is another caravan in replace of the sunliner, expensive cubbyhouse if you ask me)
They still take it camping each year at christmas and it always sparks a conversatin with someone. If they did want to sell, do you know of any websites etc or how you would even go working out a $value? Guess we need to know what year model first. It is very similat to the pics of the "sunliner near Nowra".

Hi Sunliner,
This topic raised a bit of a storm when i proposed a value guide some time ago. Pretty much, the common opinion was that like beauty, value is in the eye of the beholder.
Despite a number of people thinking a value guide (similar to what you see in car mags) would not be of benefit, i have continued to keep records from sales info i pick up from ads on here as well as ebay for my own interest.
I know its not much help, but in short, its worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
I you have any questions, feel free to PM me..
Cheers
Chris

 In the end it's only worth what someone is willing to pay and who knows what that could be? Start unreasonably high and wait for the unreasonably low offers and it should be around the middle somewhere.....  Like a tug of war really.....all depends on who weakens first. The buyer who is driven by the need to own it. but doesnt wanna spend his life savings... Or the seller who has a figure in his head at the start of "negotiations" and then gets a sniff that the buyer is keen and might pay more....or is about to walk away leaving him ( the seller) with nothing. Its all a game. Hope ya win. Reddo

Here's just how difficult it is to put a value on any vintage van
Look at the Sunliner Avalanche thread and you will find two
One with a starting price of $500 and the other $2000

And so we see that where you are may make a difference as well. That $500 Sunliner may just have read this post and has been put up to $1250 as a starting price..... Still no bids though If he/she is in no hurry to sell it might work  Perhaps the Qld population doesn't appreciate the quality of a Sunliner as much as the Southern market? Again Time will tell Cheers Atog |

From a person who is restoring a Sunliner and loves the style of these vans, I believe Reddo's comments hit the nail on the head....
......"the buyer who is driven by the need to own it"..............
if your a lover of them, you'll probably pay the price to attain one.
If your parent's van is in good condition, dont let it go too easy.
Cheers and welcome to VV world.
