hello all,
i just purchased a 1980's?? sun lite eagle from a guy on craigslist. i am very excited to get this thing cleaned up and ready for my full time boondocking roadtrip across the country. Couple questions i have: anyone know where i can find the serial plate that gives the weight of the camper? anyone know the weight of the basic eagle model (no frig, furnace, hot water,)??? any suggestions on building up the side rails of my bed with wood to support the sides of my camper better? where can i find an owners manual for this camper? where can i find a full canvas top replacement? i am going to restore this thing and document the whole thing on this forum. hopefully with some advice from you all i can make this thing "real nice"....lol |

Or possible on the rear of the camper. Since I assume your camper is no longer manufactured you will need to start with www.google.com and see what you can find. A manual....maybe ebay? A canvas top...google for canvas tops, or a company that is a RV wrecking yard and might have parts from units they have dismanteled. good luck in your search. -------------------- Phil Saran

QUOTE anyone know where i can find the serial plate that gives the weight of the camper? For Heavy Trailers the weight should be in excess of 8,000 lbs. were as for the light trailers the loaded weight 8,000 pounds or less.... -------------------- |
