Hello - 1st timer -
1979 ( really a 1978) Pre-Chrysler bailout LINDY 26' bunkhouse on CB300 chassis 440-3 motor. I think I got that part right. Oh, does anyone know the trans id and the rear axle id - ratios? On with the disclosure...
Duotherm Brisk rooftop a/c - 13.5, Duotherm 20k btu furnace under 4 burner stove, Overhead propane oven and over that is the 5" 4 blade exhaust fan behind a mesh grease filter ( need the pivoting cover)
6 gal water heater - propane only. Dometec 1308 refrig - 12v, 110v and propane. Oman 4k gen with the vertical airflow carb and the dual 90 degree air filter connection to the round stubby air filter near the rear of the compartment.
16.5 rims - oh hell..
brakes good, all mech good.so far - r-12 leaked out of a/c engine system back in the 80's - the system pulls vacuum for 15 minutes, so once the need for an oil charge can be determined, in goes the legal Freon stuff.
53k miles - all factory stickers intact everywhere- all wires soft and hard parts not cracked.
no burn marks on back/bottom of refrig propane chimney.
Oven propane burner shows zero use - no discoloration or shine on flame propagator - on and on. My goal for the younger class c was fading..
We were looking for a just pre-2000 c, and took a chance. No rust, no wear - no expected imprecision in steering, linkage, no leaks, minor uv damage, wood strong, chassis straight, etc..
Ok, enough of the coal in the dust history. It was a home for a guy at Knots B farm for a decade and then stored for years under cover in mild weather. 10 years ago it was bought to do local race visits and put on 3k miles - kids older no use, I buy.
Mileage affirmed, condition impressive, and design incredible! 7 sleeping berths w/o using the dining area - excellent bathroom, and then I drove it -
Exceptional - smooth, no vibes or shudders, tracks perfect, comfortable over road damage and seams, potholes do not shake - all the bushings are still doing the job. What a time warp. Vapor lock issue as addressed? Not so - gas filter boiling (glass and end cap model) near the exhaust manifold - dang... and 50% clogged..
OK, we are redoing the interior so my wife is happy. We are adding hi-tech - lots of it. This thread was linked to a potential buyer - we investigated the same craigslist listing here in Las Vegas and without knowing all the others who were thinking on it - we bought it and then found it referenced on the web. Weird...
but the one big issue, other than the 16.5 rim, freezer door fitting for ice cube tray and/or the lower thing - I have zero pics, just slot's for something - the frozen 6 oz juice canisters' wire rack on the hinge side is intact..., issue and the oven vent door, is this -
We need the gray water tank and or the sensor - I can get a great gray sloped tank, but the sensor needs to work with the panel indicators. Ideas?
thanks guys!
Mike
