Exterior and interior paint is mostly original. The exterior was painted from the rails down in 2003. There was no major body repair needed prior to the repaint, just a few stone chips.

Original SO 42 Camping Car interior is complete and in excellent condition including: cabinets, folding tables, seats, countertops,sink, ice box, wood paneling, floor, curtains, door panels and front floor mat. Heatertube still has original insulation. Also has the very rare and desirable Big Top Tent option which is excellent as well.

The electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts for added reliability. The original 6 volt parts are included. No other mechanical or cosmetic modifications have been made. New premium tires have less than 1,000 miles.

Full disclosure: This bus has always been well cared for and maintained, but it was enjoyed. The steering column and shifter show paint wear. There is one small ding on the passenger side door rail. Wood veneer on front side door has minor water damage. Basically shows normal age of a 56 year old vehicle, but it is original.

Otherwise, this is essentially a very high quality survivor. Vehicles are only original once, and this one certainly is the real deal. Please ask any questions.
