The original table leg is missing, hough it has a temporary I've been using whole time I've owned it. The "COOL Factor" is, ost Interioris unmolested, enuine Westfalia Camper Conversion. The Tent has a few small tears at the bottom right at back and a couple in front where it has gotten hung up in the Pop-Top folding Rod Braces. I pressure washed the Tent and had NO dripping leaks into the interior. I've camped in pouring down rain and had NO leaks. (I was pleasantly surprised!!). It is a TUFF Old School Tent!!The Zippers on Screens right and left ofTentare stuck; (might be able to massage some lubricant and get them to work?) The Rear Tent Screen Zipper does work and ironically the screen is ripped, hough I unzip it anyway for air flow.
The Exterior Paint was originally Brown and White. Someone or two? had some fun doing their thing painting Hippi theme.Needsthe wind shield replaced; (cracked). It is a 43 year old bus and it does have rust underneath. There are some lower body panels that could be replaced if someone so desires. I do have a spare tire, ack and lug wrenchfor it and can tell you much more about it when we talk.
