I sure don’t but welcome aboard and hopefully someone will chime in.
 
This is all I could find….

 
Welcome from Georgia!

My wife and I too are looking at this little unit for our first adventure. Really like what it has to offer but seemed to fine only dealers selling and not too many buyers input. Hopefully joining this forum will change that. Would like to buy one this year (me) but might have to wait till next year (wife). Love that woman.....

Me and my wife bought a Sunlite 18rd sport Sept 7th 2021. We have camped in 5 times since then. It is exactly the same as the 16 but the bed is turned lengthwise and is easier to get into. Trailer seems pretty well built, we have taking this on off-road trails including Cordova pass elevation 11, 200 feet. The only issue we have had has been replacing a few fuses. The sport version has better tires and is lifted which we love. Air conditioning and heat is fantastic. Refrigerator is large and awesome.

My husband and I pick up our Sun Lite 16BH this weekend. We are excited to use it! There are so many features. Our version has both awnings, the overhead bunk/storage area, single basin sink, 3 burner cooktop with oven, Wineguard HDTV antennae, plus the off-road/tow package. So many amenities are included with the Sun Lite 16BH including solar and backup camera prep, outside shower, inside and outside speakers, sturdy entrance step (important for our older dog), TV prep, microwave, separate (and good sized!) fridge and freezer, and so much more! Sorry if I'm gushing. Like I said, we are excited. Hope this info helps.

I have one on order to tow behind my 2017 Carado Axion. Looks like a 3 month wait (October) for me. Since I Boondock 99.999999% of the time, after I get it, I will be taking it to a the place that removed the roof air con and installed a MaxxAir fan to have them install as much solar and as many lithiub batteries that will fit. Sorry I can't offer any info on using it but, as a single traveler, the oven and 10+ cubic foot 12v fridge should serve me well in Quartzsite this fall. Good luck, Steve. :)
 
My husband and I bought a sun lite classic 18TD, 2022. We are very disappointed. No owners manual, poor workmanship, very hard to get help of any kind from factory. Only about 2dealers in VA.
 
We Love our 18tb, perfect size for my husband and I. Great layout and lots of extras included. But make sure you get new tires ASAP. The tire that come with are cheap and will blowout. Also recommend lifting the trailer about 6 inches.
 
We have owned an 18RD for a few months, been out a couple times. We love it! Perfect size for us, love it! It is light and easy to tow we had a few issues first time out, bad element in the water heater and a poor fitting interior seam behind the stove. Overall we are very pleased

My wife and I have a Sunlite 16BH and are very happy with it. If I was going to buy another camper, I'd go with the 18 instead of the 16 in the SunLite line. We have been impressed with the SunLite features and quality. It tows like a dream has surprising amount of usable space and is easy to set up and tear down. We wanted something small for just the 2 of us and that we could pull with my Chevy Colorado. The SunLite 16BH fit the bill perfectly. We sat on the fence and shopped for 2 years before we made the move. We just got tired of tent camping!

Do you need a sway bar or weight distribution bar for this rig?

With it weighing what it does, I wanted a load-leveler hitch for ours. Just picked it up today with an ReCurve (Eaz-Lift 400#) hitch installed. Perfectly satisfied with the ride on our way home.
 
A MAJOR problem is the stupid ladder. It's bolted into the 7/8 OSB and that is all. It flexes the pathetic insulation around the door and water gets in and rots the floor. Ask me how I know (hint: I just repaired mine.)

I am going to weld some kind of ladder holder onto the back and reinforce the floor with steal and use pins to drop in and hold it in place while being used and removable to put back in the holder on the bumper.

Is your ladder on the back of your camper, or the side? Ours has no ladder, but it does have a ladder mount on the side to accept one. I just purchased a 14’ extendable ladder from Harbor Freight, to give me access to the top if/when needed. It collapses down small enough, that we just leave it in the pass-thru under our bed.
