Thought I'd introduce myself and post some pics of my AS. Hope it helps someone as much as all of your posts have helped me. I'm a handy guy and here is my website with pics of various projects I've done.

Bought this AS in good condition and working order.. I checked everything out when I ripped out flooring....Sub floor was solid and recently repaired, rear end frame area is good, axles still have travel and I re-packed bearings, brakes work great, all appliances worked. I was told furnace works but its original and I haven't needed to use it yet. Basically it was a great camper but ugly as sin...so I got to do the fun stuff.
Ripped out all flooring and furniture(none of it was original). Built new double bed goucho for back, and HUGE dinette/bed combo for front(I'm really tall). Painted everything white...including bathroom/shower. Installed IKEA window roller shades all around. Built entertainment center area. Resurfaced countertops with epoxy kit.
We love it and it sleeps four comfortably. Already put several thousand miles on it. Previosly we were in a teardrop that I built(pics on my website link). We've been from Mexico to Canada in the Teardrop, and now we REALLY appreciate the space and luxury of the AS!
I'll start with the front room interior pics....
