Belly Pan: : The rear section of the belly pan was never replaced after we replaced the subfloor.

Interior Layout and Condition:: Upon entry, there is a dining table that converts to a queenish size bed space on the right. We often make out the bed and a queen-size air mattress fits perfectly on top. Then there’s a little kitchenette on the right and bunk beds on the left. Further down the hall is a little bar area, a storage closet, and a bathroom in the back.

Dinette Style and Location:: Enter and it’s immediately on the right surrounded by windows. The benches are a yellow pine look with storage underneath. The table surface is a yellow formica. Folds down to create a bed space.

Cabinets, Doors and Counters: : All cabinets are latch style and function well. The kitchen countertops are yellow formica and in good shape. A little fold-out extension to the countertop needs repair.

Furnace / Space Heater:: We have never tried to use the heating or anything fueled by propane.

Other Appliances:: We just had a new converter installed.

Plumbing – Water Lines, Water Pump:: Water lines were replaced with flex pipe when we got the airstream.

Hot Water Heater:: We have never tried to use the hot water heater.

Sinks and Taps: : The kitchen sink and bathroom sink both work well. The bathroom is new and the kitchen is original.

Toilet:: Original removed along with toilet plumbing and black tank.

Water Leaks? Water Damage? Mold or Mildew:: Not that we are aware of. Subfloor mold/dry rot mentioned above has been repaired.
