Quirks:
No interior shower. There is space and plumbing for one, but it has not been installed. Currently the space has shelves and is being used for storage.
Small air leak. Not enough to fail a safety check, but causes the air compressor to run more than it should.
Pinion seal that probably needs to be replaced.
One stove burner and oven not fully converted from natural gas too propane.
As the engine is an old diesel, it has slow leaks requiring fluid to be topped off every 6 months or so (note ALL old buses leak)
The paint is faded, and peeling in a few places. Needs a fresh coat of paint
Front couch does not have cushions, and bunk beds do not have mattresses
Front windshield has a couple cracks
