That's a nice '63, easy to confirm by the lip over the door and the style of hinge on the door in a door.

I'm beginning to realize that I stumbled into a jem. I have to say this forum has been a awsome source for information.

We have been just going over the interior and getting it cleaned up and seeing what works and what doesn't. From what I can tell all the cabinet doors and drawers and hardware work great . The only cabinet that has any delamination is the bathroom and it is minimal. The counter top across from mid bed is kida bad . I was told the bunk in the middle above the bed is kinda rare , is that true.

Looks really nice. Congrats. I didn't read every reply, but a good locksmith can make you a key if you take the lock assembly to him. (for the entry door.)

This is the old pressure system , right. What,I have is a big tank that looks like it is off of a air compresser and under the sink is a air compresser.

The air pump pressurizes the system and pushes the water through the lines. You can also pressurize it by pumping it up through that valve on the cap. You will quickly know if you have a leak....

My biggest question is so I try to get press water system working or do I replace it with updated tank and pump. I have 2 places to fix in plumbing that I know of. Should I replace copper with plastic limes?

Here's what I would do...
Chunk the nasty ole' metal tank. Get a plastic one and replumb with pex and a modern pump.
Your milage may vary...

That old metal tank is heavy and filled with ???? Replace with a plastic one and lighten the load enough to add more amenities you'd enjoy!

Before you remove the metal tank you should check it out. My 63 Tradewind still has its original metal tank and it is good as new. Fill it with water and add some bleach to clean it. Remove the cap under the trailer to drain it. Repeat if junk comes out.
Of course, if the tank leaks then all bets are off.
My tank doesn't leak, and no rust, crud, or junk ever comes out the tap. The water tastes fresh. I did remove the old pressure pump and just converted it to the new style water pump.
Good luck
