Interior

The Itasca was built before the age of slide outs and it basically laid out front to back.


Looking from the front to the rear, on the right is the dinette, wardrobe and bathroom all the way in the back. On the left if the kitchen sink, oven, refrigerator and bed.



This is the dinette looking from the rear. The table folds down to become a double bed and there is storage under the benches.


The bath has three pieces, sink, toilet and shower. The shower is about a foot deep so it could be a small tub.


The kitchen has a double sink, three burner gas stove and oven. That's the control panel for the generator about the range hood. The fridge also has a freezer and is about the size of double dorm room fridge.

The bed is about twin size with storage underneath. It's also where the generator and heater are located. One nice thing about the bed area are the two windows. The bad thing about the bed is the layout. One person has to crawl over the other person.

1982 Itasca Sundowner

When my dad passed, no one really wanted his motorhome and mom wasn't sure what to do. After talking about it, my wife and I decided we would take the RV and remodel the interior. We've done a few remodel project (bathrooms, laundry rooms, entryways) so we figured it couldn't been much harder than what we've done.

The Itasca is only 22 feet long so it's small compared to the new diesel pushers. It was built before the age of slide outs so the interior is limited as well.

The exterior is in good shape, the tires are good and the engine is spotless. Dad took real good care of the camper. There is a small oil leak but after 30 years, some of the gaskets are probably dried and cracked.
