Familiar with Sun Valley campers?

[epaddler]

I just ran across a used Sun Valley Apache 6.0 SB for sale. Seller says it's a 2007 and he's asking $4,900. It's about a half day's drive, so I'd like to find out first if anyone has info about the quality of these campers. Seller said the company went out of business in 2009. It comes with 3-way fridge, sink, stove, furnace, outside shower (no water heater -- must be for tough guys), and an aluminum roof rack. Looks very clean in photos. Weighs in at 1,000 pounds and is designed to fit in small pickups (I have a 99 Nissan Frontier). Will it be a problem finding parts because the company is out of business? Any thoughts?

For durability, aluminum framed campers evidently last the longest. ATC, FWC, Phoenix, and Roamin' Chariot are the only aluminum framed pop-up truck campers out there as far as I know.

I'm assuming this Sun Valley is a pop-up truck camper. Maybe someone else has some hands on experience with them.

I say "GET IT!" I'm not familiar with them but I did look at one from the outside (it was locked) a couple years ago. I would say they're middle of the road in quality.

This looks like it's in great condition. Just because the company is out of business doesn't mean you can't get parts. Parts are pretty universal.
