The 2025 Sunray 109 is a compact RV designed for two, featuring a kitchen, lightweight design, and various amenities at an affordable price. This review covers its specifications, features, and modifications, making it an ideal choice for small trailer enthusiasts.
Hey, it's Aaron, and today I want to talk about the Sunray 109, specifically the Sunray Sport 109 model. This is the smallest of Sunray RV's offerings, designed to sleep two people comfortably. It comes equipped with a kitchen and a range of amenities, all at a surprisingly low price. If you're in the market for a small trailer, especially something akin to a teardrop style, you might find this model appealing.
The 2025 Sunray 109 is priced between $12,000 to $15,000, depending on options and where you purchase it. This makes it a great alternative to the often expensive teardrop trailers, which can cost upwards of $20,000. Weighing in at about 1,600 lbs with a tongue weight of roughly 200 lbs, this trailer can be towed by most small SUVs or minivans, making it accessible for a wide range of vehicles.
The lightweight nature of the Sunray 109 is one of its standout features. It is easy to tow, even with smaller vehicles, which is a significant advantage for those who may not own a heavy-duty truck.
The kitchen is a focal point of the Sunray 109. It includes a three-way fridge that can run on battery, gas, or shore power, allowing for flexibility depending on your camping situation. The fridge has a capacity of 4 cubic feet, with a small freezer compartment. Additionally, there is a two-burner stove and a sink with hot and cold water, making meal preparation convenient.
The Sunray 109 does not come with a battery by default, as it is typically installed at the dealership. We opted for a BG27 battery, which is sufficient for running lights and charging devices. The trailer also features a 110-watt solar panel option, which helps keep the battery charged while camping.
Some modifications have been made to our unit, such as relocating the spare tire to avoid interference with our Jeep. This is a common adjustment among owners and helps balance the weight distribution of the trailer.
The exterior of the Sunray 109 is designed for functionality. It includes a quick connect for gas, allowing you to hook up a grill or griddle directly to the propane tank. The back of the trailer is equipped for a ladder, and the roof is walkable, which is a unique feature for trailers of this size.
An aftermarket canopy extends about 8 feet from the trailer, providing additional outdoor space. Motion-sensing lights have been added to the exterior, enhancing safety and convenience during nighttime.
Inside, the Sunray 109 features a cozy living area with a couch that converts into a bed. The bed is slightly larger than a twin but smaller than a queen, making it suitable for two people. The interior is equipped with storage options, including leather pouches and cabinets, maximizing space efficiency.
The trailer includes an AC unit that operates on shore power, ensuring comfort during hot weather. Additionally, a propane heater is installed, allowing for extended camping seasons by providing warmth during colder nights.
While the Sunray 109 does not have a dedicated bathroom, it features an outdoor shower with hot and cold water, which is perfect for rinsing off after a day of outdoor activities.
The 2025 Sunray 109 is an excellent choice for those seeking a compact and affordable RV. With its lightweight design, functional kitchen, and various amenities, it caters to the needs of small families or couples looking to enjoy the great outdoors without the hassle of larger trailers. As we continue to use the Sunray 109, I will share updates and experiences to provide further insights into its performance and usability. Stay tuned for more adventures with our new trailer!
