You may find you like that dinette. My 68 has one in front and we put one in the 59 overlander when we rebuilt it we liked having it so much. I wouldn't just go plugging that into AC power unless the PO did so while you were standing there and touched the trailer himself. Survey the whole AC system first. Get a meter and check for shorts to the trailer. Take off the plates and check the wiring connections. Check out the breaker panel also, without power. Get fimilar with it before you plug it in. Unless you are a purist I'ld switch it over to 12V with a fancy new converter. Again trace the DC circuits before and the size of fuses that he used, there must be fuses on each circuit. It's a great size to work with. You will likly find the the floor under the shower is gone toward the rear. Only way to see it is under the belly pan. Also these often need the dump valve rebuilt and I was able to get a kit. I replaced my axel.

I cann't find the thread on changing my axle with the changes they made to the forums, try a search as it will be informative.
