M715 - looks like you have in essence the same floor plan as ours. Ours (1968) came with an ice box however, yours has the fridge. You have a furnace, we had an old poisoned catalytic heater. Your stool closet appears to have a holding tank (rear wall). When I removed the solid piece floor of our stool closet I found about a 4" drain hole centered in the board below above that raised floor. Does yours have a bk water tank there?
I have begun all exterior accessories removal so as to get all the skin off. Then I will replace bad wood areas and re-insulate (new) and re-wire before replacing the skin. I have changed enough on interior to end up with: 40 gallon fresh water tank plus two 8 gallon waste cans under the front center area, 21 gallon grey water under the dinette raised floor and stool closet with non-freeze dump valve under stool raised floor, will use residential height porti-potty with 5 gallon bk water (dump options wide open). It'll have 6 gal water heater, catalytic heater, wet bath shower w/small sink and counter, long-boy double bed (80" length), refrigerator, dinette convertible to TV viewing area, stove/oven, double sink, short fresh water runs, 4-season, two batteries with solar charger on roof, plus the classic character retained, all in a short, narrow, relatively lightweight TC that fits inside the truck bed length. Okay so that's the plan anyway ;)
I love this camper's size and floorplan!
