Early 1950s
A new beginning in Savannah
William “Bill” L. Bruner moved from Metter, Georgia, to Savannah as a teenager and went to work for Union Camp. The work ethic that brought him here would shape everything that followed.
The story of Sunshine
A legacy built on hard work.
One family, one short Savannah street and more than seven decades of building something meant to last.
More than a business name
Sunshine became part of the family story.
Before there was an RV park, there was family property, a fence company and a commitment to hard work. Sunshine Fence Company became so established on the rural route that the road itself came to be known as Sunshine Avenue.
The park grew from those same roots: practical decisions, steady investment and a desire to create a dependable place for RV travelers and extended-stay guests.

Work, travel and the road ahead.
Bill’s life connected several interests that would shape Sunshine: steady work, entrepreneurship, family, RV travel and a love of stock-car racing. He even raced at local dirt tracks, with Sunshine Fence Company appearing on his race car.
His experience as an RV owner helped inspire the first sites. What began as a small park became a business Bill could entrust to his grandson—the family’s third generation—to expand, operate and carry forward.
The Sunshine timeline
Growth measured in generations.
1960s
Roots on Sunshine Avenue
Bill purchased property, built a home for his family and moved an established Savannah fence business to the property. Sunshine Fence Company became so closely tied to the rural county route that the street was eventually named Sunshine Avenue.
Late 1980s–early 1990s
The first RV sites
Bill enjoyed RV travel and saw an opportunity to use additional family property for an RV park. Sunshine began with approximately 20–30 full-hookup sites and a practical focus on dependable places to stay.
2002
The third generation steps in
One of Bill’s grandsons purchased a house from him and moved to Sunshine Avenue. As the family’s third generation, he took on day-to-day management while Bill continued traveling, with plans to expand the park and carry the business forward.

A legacy carried forward
Bill passed away after a life defined by work, family, travel and enterprise. His belief in building something lasting remains part of every decision made at Sunshine.
Today
Three generations—and 88 sites
Sunshine R.V. Park, LLC has grown to 88 numbered full-hookup sites. It remains family owned and operated, with the hope that the business will one day be passed to the next generation.
