She was a little rough.

But with a bit of scrubbing she's coming out nice.
I replaced the mauve curtains and took out all the valences

Covered the couch and ripped out all the carpet. That was fun.

It's been a long road but it's looking pretty cool. Also painted the cabinets and the hardware

Dave,

I wish you many boring miles and great adventures when stopped.

Be aware that a coach that old (I should know) may have trouble with any of the rubber parts and some things may have been ignored by the Prior Owner.

Things that should be changed out are the engine coolant because the corrosion inhibitors are depleted, and the brake fluid because it absorbs water.

Safe Travel.

Frank

Happy news! I checked out the pump and it seems to be working. I broke the faucet painting the counter tho. I can't seem to get the water heater to start. Any suggestions?
