Thanks, Jim, but it's really amazing what I don't know. For example, I didn't take any photos of the inside of the "parts" Ambassador and I can't remember squat when it comes to the small details. I do think the lavarette is in good shape, but won't be able to verify that until I see the trailer again in two weeks. The rear bath had the standard tub on the curb side, but the toilet installation (on the street side) looked more like a lid on a bench, a la outhouse style, than a separate Thetford toilet. I'll be documenting the interior fixtures in the thread "Dead in Baker" as soon as I get back there.

I could "deliver" the lavarette to Shiprock or maybe even Albuquerque (the 4CU rally), depending on my return route from Mojave, but that wouldn't be until March. The shipping on these items, if it has to go by freight, is just too onerous. If the lav turns out to meet the UPS size limit, then that's an option.
