This rig is all original and very groovy! Original flooring, stove/oven, Ice Box, upholstery, interior paneling, counter tops, etc… LPG and Water have not been tested, but all 120V electrical seems to be working. Truck Camper has two spots from older water damage, one being in the front curbside cab over area, and the other right around the rear upper entry door/ inside rear closet area. Rig has not shown signs of leaking in the last couple years. While built as a long wheel base Truck Camper, this rig is pictured in the back of a F250 short bed (6.5′ bed) with the tail gate in the down position. This would make a great camper to do a little work as you camp or do a full restoration for a great camping rig that you can (with simple hitch extension) still pull a boat, utility trailer, or anything else you want to pull with your truck while still having your camper with you as well! Camper does not come with tie down anchors to attach to your truck, and there are a two older style lift jacks that go with the truck camper but I would advise replacements or modern truck camper jacks to be installed eventually for safety. Message us if you have any additional questions or for more details.
