Yeah, thx. Looks like a nice unit, just that the EB may be too long for friends darn garage.

In communication with them about couch bed size, in any event.

Rusty strap hangers holding the propane tank up underneath the rig? Not what I'd recommend to my 67 year old female friend traveling solo in remote areas in the west.

But, you know, you say "tomato," and I say "tomahto "!

Having been through redoing an older, rusty Sportsmobile you need to remember than any of the metal Sportsmobile added under there is going to rust easily. Fuel, propane and water tank hangers are thin, cheap metal and nowhere near as robust as the frame and other factory bits. They're all easy to replace. Also, modified gas tanks and heat shields rust. The only aftermarket stuff I can see lasting near as long as stock is the expensive powder coated goodies we pay too much for these days.
