Thanks I know to most people may think I nuts for trying this but I have built a few cars from hopeless piles and I thought this would be a fun project and a good hobby for me I got the motor home for a great price and it runs and drives fine. I am still fairly young so I have time to work on it and hope to be able to have a nice vehicle when I am done. And from what I can tell is seems structually very sound.

Also am I posting in the right area if not I am sorry and would appreciate a point in the right direction.You should be able to determine which chassis it is built on. Many of the 70's MH's were built on Dodge chassis with either a 360 or a 440 V8. Later ones can be either built on GM or Ford chassis. What year, how ling and what brand of motor does it have?
Thanks so much

I work just around the corner from you, so if you have questions please feel free to send me a PM with your phone number and I will try and help you out. Remember that you will be dealing with basically three different electrical systems here. First is the engine/body electrical including the running lights, head lights, tail lights, turn signals that sort of thing. Second is the 12VDC interior lighting and electrical systems. Third is the 120VAC interior electrical systems.

I can't remember the name of the place but theres a rv wrecking yard in rochester wa that seemed to have a good stock of old parts but its been a while since I was there so maybe someone knows the name of the place.
