Ordinarily, when we talk about motorhomes, it usually involves a large van or full-size truck platform. When it comes to towing fifth-wheel camper trailers, full-size trucks are pretty much guaranteed to be part of the process. This is one of those times where none of the above holds true, because the 1981 Toyota Sunrader featured here is small, rare, and absolutely awesome. And if you really love it, you can park it in your driveway because it’s for sale.

The Sunrader itself isn’t especially uncommon as a small RV, but this matched fifth-wheel combo is exceedingly rare. John Polk is the current owner, who came upon this rig at a dealership in 2018 and just had to have it. As if the fifth-wheel isn’t already rare, this particular setup only shows 22,174 miles on the odometer. Under the hood is Toyota’s plucky 22R four-cylinder engine connected to a five-speed manual, and Polk’s listing at toyotarvforsale.com shows a bevy of maintenance recently performed. Still, with the four-pot generally good for about 100 horsepower, this rig isn’t what you’d call fast.
