Hello again, just a little update on my original post. Now that I have had this RV for a while and have made a few trips I have come up with a few things.
One thing I have to tell anyone that is buying or thinking of buying a rental is to make sure that you get a complete service record,as I got with this one. It is invaluable. Anytime you have a question about anything you can look it up.
I finally had time to sit down and read the whole thing (28 pages) and made notes of all oil changes, services on generator, brakes, lube, and replacement parts and a host of other things. That way I knew when it was done and I had it in a much smaller package, listed with date and mileage.
Case in point, on one trip I heard a brake squeal, when I arrived at my campsite I looked in my service record and found that the brakes had been replaced less than 2,000 miles ago. I still crawled under and looked at them and they were fine.
But it was nice to know when far from home.
I also found something interesting while turning on the propane tank. Written on the tank, I guess with a Sharpie was a date and what looked like someone’s initials. I went to my service record and looked for that date and found that on that date it had been checked for leaks and filled with propane just before I bought it.
All the systems and appliances have worked well and I have no complaints. I am satisfied with my purchase. I have made some mods though. All with the help of a good friend, that did most of the work.
I added a Fantastic Fan in the bedroom. With a remote.
I also put a Vortex Fan in the bathroom. Much quieter and moves more air.
I put Maxx Air vent covers over all 4 vent openings. Now I can leave the vents open even in the rain.
I replaced the old thermostat with a digital one to run the A/C and heat. It is more modern and accurate.
I replaced all the incandescent lights with LEDs and also put some inside and outside near the step .Brighter, safer and more efficient.
The best I saved till last, I replaced the old window in the door with a new one called an EDWIN. It looks like the other windows in the RV with a metal frame and it opens. So now I can see out and get ventilation too. I posted about it, with pictures in the DIY forum. On edit see it

Now it is more up to date and way more efficient. I am ready for more camping.
If you have any questions just ask. Or anything to add, please do.
