Said another way, resurrections after the funeral service are not always a sure thing.

I'm waiting on them myself. The man running the estate was to e-mail them to me today. I will give him a call tomorrow. Hopefully then.... Jim

Ant vehicle with so few miles and so many years has not been driven enough. A lot of thiongs will have to be replaced unless it was extremely well maintained—rubber parts need use to stay in good shape, wheel bearings may be worn because it sat so often and then was used for a limited time, hoses and belts need replacement. So, it's not just gutting it and putting in a new interior, but going through everything else.

OK, I can't resist: So you could be dead wrong. Although this may not be the final message, you may be in limbo indefinitely deciding whether to pull the plug.

FC270, as the other FC280 owner here I can tell you the "conversion" will not be the easiest route to your MOHO dreams.

Is the floor plan a wrap around couch or is there an existing head?

If you need to look at floor plans they are available and I think somewhere I've got them in my history stuff.

FYI I purchased Airstream One with 33,000 miles on it for $13,000 almost four years ago. It now has 88,000 on it and is about to have the engine and tranny replaced and a GearVendor added.

PM me with any questions you may have.

Also AS reportedly built 80 or so FC's in the 80's in various lengths. The rear side and back door arrangement is why I had to have mine.
