Some areas of the original wood/particleboard interior pieces are damaged. Veneer pealing in spots, some water damage in the passenger rear.
Mount for shower head missing.
Carpet in the cab doesn't cover entire floor area.
I haven't tested the furnace, not sure if it works. Some of the ducting is not hooked up.
I haven't tested the refrigerator, not sure if it works. The electronic unit in the bottom isn't hooked up.
The fiberglass is damaged where the passenger side rear wheel T-Skirt mounts and the T-Skirt has some damage.
