Sunset Park RVs?

[CuriousGeorge]

After several years camping with a small Winnebago travel trailer, looking to once again jump into RVing. A local dealer has some Sunset Park Sun Lite 16BH models which might meet my needs. Not being here often couldn't easily find a product review category and the search function shows nothing, so asking here. Also posting a link to the model I'm interested in.

Finding limited online reviews, the bad equals the good. Anyone here have personal experience with them? Looking for comments on the good, the bad and the ugly.

Thanks, George

Are you handy enough to tackle most any small problem that may come along? I mean plumbing, electrical, fit and finish, etc. It doesen't really matter what brand of RV you buy, they all seem to have problems. Seems like more problems since this whole pandemic started, but they can all be fixed.

Never heard of them but almost $30K seems a bit expensive for such a small unit. Personally, I would look for a lightly used model. More bang for the buck kind of thing. Just my .02.

And Welcome to the forum!

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.

Thanks for the feedback regarding the new unit. Please follow-up with your impressions as to handling, quality and reliability after you get a couple trips in. Hope you enjoy it.

Look at many brands, many models. Check several dealerships. I am so glad I took my time on the last one. I would have regretted buying what my local dealer had.

I bought a Sunset Sunray 149 used. Was going to do a 16BH but my truck only has a 4 cylinder so had to go a bit lighter. Think about buying a used one first, if you haven't already got it. New trailers always have bugs with them that the first owner has to deal with. I bought my used and he added about $3,000 of accessories with it - solar panels, back up camera, tv, generator, dishes, plates, ect....Reel good deal. So far I have no complaints about the Sunset brand but they are alike cars...not everyone is the same.

Traveling up to PA to pick up my 2022 Sun Lite 16BH. Looked at many trailers but liked the layout and weight. Spoke with the factory rep a few times. I knew more than the dealer I bought this from. You may ask why I didn't buy local. The answer is $5,000 in price from any dealer in VA, NC, and SC. Besides, it's a travel trailer. I get to camp on my way back to NC. Have fun with yours, my dog and I are going to enjoy ours.

How do you like the trailer so far? We have the SUN LITE 16BH classic that we have used in total about 3 weeks now and I LOVE IT!!!! We opted for the gas/electric refrigerator and the full stove with oven. So easy to pull….

Good deal!! We’re new to RVn and chose the 2025 Sunray149. I was looking at the 16BH as well, However. we went with the 149 because of size and maneuvering abilities. It gets “Allot” of attention everywhere it goes. No doubt it can get intimidating but there’s many online resources to help guide the process. Certainly not to mention all the things that can go wrong with it as you travel along.. hope you’re mechanically inclined and have plumbing skills and experience with tooling to say the least. Ironically enough you have to be or it’s spending time at the shop. Allot of time in the shop…. I seem to recall ALLLLLL RVs are more expensive less efficient. Yet once you start using about gallon of wood glue and bucket’s of wood screws and an eclectic screw gun, you’ll have a new perspectives on camping and the joys of water leak prevention. Have fun!!
