Nice job on the video, still looking for my Sunset Park. They have the new LTD versions out, looking at a 13MJ. Disappointed the newer models only have the 12 volt fridges.
Had to replace my water heater too. Had a factory leak that was not under warranty. I love that outside shower valve you installed. Where can I find one like Thant.
Lots of smart changes and helpful information sir! You should be hired by Sunset Park for research and development for the Sun-Lite 16BH future models.. I would buy your used model before buying a new one with all of your fantastic upgrades..
Thanks Boomer...it won't allow me to post a link here, but if you search amazon for these keywords, it will come up: "Bamboo Sofa Armrest Tray with Wireless Charging and Non-Slip Coaster"
Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience along the way. I watched many of your videos before purchasing and thank you for helping us make an informed decision. We followed your advice on the winterization and also ordered OEM cabinet doors to put under the dinette like yourself - thank you! Question - Do you have any videos or tips to share about the leaf springs? After our second trip, the passenger side failed and looks just like yours, albeit a 2024 with only a few hundred towing miles. We have a spring break trip planned and may have to replace these myself to salvage our trip. I am completely blind going into this and appreciate any pointers. I appreciate your time and again, thank you for sharing the great content!
Thanks Tom. I got them on Amazon. No particular brand or anything. I just searched around for the size and found a pair. Been almost a year and they've held up great.
Thanks for the 1 yr & 2 yr videos. I wish I could hire you to do the upgrades you did to your camper, to my camper! One problem I have had is both doors for under storage do not lock because the locking mechanism spins 360 degrees around when locked. Someone on a forum told me to get square washers but I have had no luck finding them.. I am shocked you have not mentioned this problem. Do you not have this problem?
Thanks Nichole. I haven't had any problems with the locks on the pass through storage doors. I do know they close pretty tightly and if I really tried, I could make them spin in place. But they don't do that when I latch and lock them. Mayne I got lucky with mine.
I'm with you on the fridge, I prefer the gas/electric combo. You need too much solar power to make the newer 12 volt fridges worth it, and even then what happens when you park in the shade? The manufacturers are just trying to save $$$ by putting in these worthless 12v fridges.

@marymurphy7780 If I'm cooking something like burgers or bacon, I have a fold up splash guard that fits around the stove. No worries of that from the oven but you could get some splatter from the stove top for sure.
Hey John your videos have been so amazing and informative. Best out there! I have a 2021 TRD Pro 4 Runner, I see you’re pulling it with the Titan now I love my 4Runner. Can you give me some insight? Looking to purchase the sunlite 16 sport like yours!
Thanks buddy. I appreciate the kind words. I really miss my 4Runner but needed a truck. Would have never traded it otherwise. Such a great vehicle. And it tows the 16BH great.....but only after adding a trailer brake controller and weight distribution hitch. It has plenty of power to tow 3500 pounds, but the 4Runner is not as heavy and has a shorter wheel base than a truck. So i found it being dragged all over the highway by big trucks etc... Also, going over undulating hills and things caused it bounce quite a lot. I got an Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch to fix all that. It towed perfectly fine afterward. So I'd recommend that to anyone towing something as big and boxy as a 16BH.
I wish I could but TH-cam removes Amazon links. I did a whole video on that shelf though. If you scroll back a but in my channel you'll find it. That video has a mention of the Amazon listing.
What mattress did you get to replace the original. I’m having the same problem but I can’t find a replacement. The original was really comfortable. Hope you have a link
It doesn't allow me to post a link here but this is what I ordered: Signature Design by Ashley Full Size Chime 8 Inch Medium Firm Innerspring Mattress with Pressure Relief Quilt Foam
it doesn't allow me to post a link to it, but i'll paste the amazon listing below. it was a simple install. already wired. i just had to put it up and seal it.

I bought a 4" foam from Amazon. It won't allow me to paste a link here, but they sell it in various lengths. It is easy to cut with a utility knife. And the cushion covers have zippers so it's just a matter of unzipping, removing the old foam, and stuffing the new stuff in there.
@leeworth8651 i haven't found any other camper I like better than this one so can't imagine selling anytime soon! If/when my job let's me go, I may end up living in it for a while.
@@videozar_ Ive looked online and can't find the same one you have...It really checks all the boxes for me...and love love the wood grain interior...and rear door and sitting area ...lol... everything
@@leeworth8651 Sunset Park changed their lineup a bit for 2024. I know the dealer near me still sells the 16BH, but even those are a little different now. Won't get a 2-way fridge. Probably not an oven. But same general floorplan. If you're curious, check out Scenic Roads RV in Manchester, TN.
Thanks for watching. First year and half was with a 2021 4Runner. Last while now, with the Titan in the video. Both tow excellent. Got a WDH and brake controllers for the 4Runner which I would recommend for everyone.
Great thorough 1 year and 2 year reviews. Extremely helpful for a new rv shopper.
Thanks Tamira!
I like your outside shower. That is way better than the plastic ones that seem to come with every rv.
Just stumbled on this. I am looking at this model for 2025, thanks for the review.
Nice job on the video, still looking for my Sunset Park. They have the new LTD versions out, looking at a 13MJ. Disappointed the newer models only have the 12 volt fridges.
Thanks. And yes I agree on the fridges. Almost all campers are electric only now. I'm glad I got mine when I did.
Love it thank you for the owner review
Thanks Manny! Glad you enjoyed it.
Had to replace my water heater too. Had a factory leak that was not under warranty. I love that outside shower valve you installed. Where can I find one like Thant.
I got it on Amazon. It won't let me post a link but if you search Amazon for "metal rv shower faucet" it will come up.
Very good descriptive honest detailed review. I enjoyed it.
Your feedback on your videos is very helpful. Thank You.
Thanks. Glad to help.

@gringogg1780 thanks for the kind words. I wish I knew how to turn camping into a career. Maybe someday...
Excellent info!
Thanks again Christi!
Thank you! We love our 2020 16bh too! Can you please share the link for your command center on the top of your dinette seat?

I love what you did with the bed how’s it’s working out for you? I am looking for one just toss up between this one and the 129
It's working out great! Thank you! Removing the closet and putting the head opposite the window has made all the difference. Very comfortable now.
I find your videos very informative and thank you! Where did you find replacement leaf springs?

I think there's also some pressure on them to just reduce the amount of gas appliances in general. I'm seeing fewer ovens as well.
Where did you get your step for the toilet? I didn't think I would need one, but after this last camping trip, I definitely need one.
@campingmarc haha...it's a goofy thing to admit needing! I got this one at wal mart. It's made for potty training kids.
great feedback!
This is Pete's channel 🥰

@videozar_ thanks! Found it
How do you keep the stove and oven from making a mess on the bed?
@marymurphy7780 If I'm cooking something like burgers or bacon, I have a fold up splash guard that fits around the stove. No worries of that from the oven but you could get some splatter from the stove top for sure.
Where did you get the foam for the dinette? The factory stuff flattens pretty quick.
Thanks Kathy. I got it from Amazon. Just did a search for firm 4" foam and bought a roll. Was pretty easy to cut and put in.

@@videozar_ what brand of trailer brake controller and where did you purchase?! I saw the vid on the Andersen WDH another great informative video!
@troutfishin9770 I forget the model of the brake controller but it was by Redarc (sp?) and I got the WDH from Amazon.
Hello,
Can u please post the link for a white shelf behind your toilet? I have the same trailer. Thanks!

That's not good - springs being faulty
Agreed!
