It looks like a very nice restoration project.

Google Craigslist RV in your area and see what people are asking for these, "Older gems". They think that they are rare colectable's. It must be a craze running across the country.

I just stopped and looked for curiostity, it's rough.

Lots of water damage under the front windows although I didn't se any inside the cupboards and there's no cover of the vent over the tub.

The stove and fridge would have to be discarded, I wouldn't use either one no matter how much scrubbing was done.

I'm sure it's a diamond in the rought to others but not one I would consider.

Forced air vents, shower and a tub, and a large bathroom sink; I'll bet it was nice when it was new.

I love how it is parked in front of an upholstery place, looks like the only thing 'new' in there is the seat covers!

They're not as new as they look.
