Thanks. You should see what the old stretch looks like now. The new owner
has painted it white, with a brush, and I don't think he missed a thing. He
got the tires, the rubber around the windows, parts of the windows, the
propane hose and regulator, the door handles, I mean everything.

On both stretches the rear door is the primary one. The front door is held
on by the original latches but does not have a slider. It can be removed
and set aside for those desert camps but it's a hassle and generally it's
just left locked in place. Maybe some day I'll make it a gull wing.
