Hi there, and welcome to the Forum.

To get you started, try Googling; "I've just bought my first folding camper. What else will I need?" That should give you all the equipment items you need.

Also, if you Google my user name you should find a few other useful bits.

The Sunseeker Classic was made by Springfield Camping in Halifax. Although the company is still going, they stopped making these many years ago. Their number is 01422 883164, if you wanted to have a chat with them, as online information is relatively scarce, on this model.

Any specific questions, feel free to ask.

if you buy it private make sure the tyres are good if unsure change them as a precaution. one thing that is well worth adding to your list is a storm strap this is a strap similar looking to a long seat belt, it has 2 long pegs one of which is on a spring to tension and it goes over the canvas and holds everthing down in windy conditions

Take a little bit of carpeting for the space between the beds - spares the shock of a cold floor.
