Bump

Still has the motor home and it does run. He's 90 now and looking to get it out of his back yard.

Very motivated to move it.

Motor/Trans/Diff all good.

Next time I'm on the coast I will take a few.

It would be best suited as a "donor vehicle" for the motor/trans/diff. Been sitting for a few years.

Make pictures and put on Ebay. You never know who is looking for just that thing or part of it.
