Yet Another Newbie

Howdy everybody. I am just as new to RVing as I am to this website. My wife and I just bought a 1977 Tioga II - Model S (by Fleetwood, I believe) Class C motorhome built on a Dodge van frame. Years ago it was stripped of all appliances, the table, benches, sink, most cabinets and plumbing and converted to a work truck. I am gutting it so we can remodel it and get it back out on the road. Wish us luck! At this point, I think it is safe to say that ALMOST any info or advice pertaining to this chassis or model would be beneficial as I am pretty much starting from scratch. Thank you in advance for your encouragement and assistance.
(SPECIAL NOTE: I know I have my work cut out for me, but I am good with my hands, technically saavy, and have a lot of tools, and we got a heck of a deal on the motorhome, so I hope I don't hear that I should scrap it and find another one that doesn't need so much work.)

Congrats on venturing into the new world of RVing & of the remodel job you have!

You will find everyone here at iRV2 very helpful and encouraging

..we aren't like the other forum where they would tell you to scrap it.

You may find some great help in the Vintage Forum along with the Fleetwood forum. You will find we love to see photos here

-so make sure you start now and take lots of photos!
