8.24.12 The Purchase



8/24/12  It was love at first sight when I found this Craigslist.  Several phone calls later and hour drive I knew it was what I wanted.  It was VERY rough, needed a bath, tons of rot and mold on the inside, but I knew she would clean up well.  With a light bar attached to the back and a ton of rope to keep it together I was off and down the freeway.  Here is some pictures of the inside before taking it apart....






Sleeping area, rear, not attached at all!
Kitchen, original ice box
 
Original red vinal seats, and  you can feel every spring when you sit on it
