Yes the propane should always have a open floor in case of leaks.
The gas shocks on the bay doors is a nice touch, i plan on installing them on mine, also new latches.
Alot lot of ddec 1 have been taken out and replaced with the mechanical, they are more reliable. Ddec 2 were better i was told. I would much rather have a detroit over a 903 or a 555. My opinion thats the biggest downfall of the older Newells with those engines.
2dogs coach looks like a beauty for 30k, love the colors too. Im sure its a great buy.
This 83 has obviously had a ton of work done to it, alot of us know what it takes to get a coach of this vintage to the state it is now, one would have to take a closer look, if it had an 8.3 it would be alot less scary to buy plus the fuel savings would likely double. Maybe worth it if one were planning to repower one day and keep it. I prefer the single axle and inline 6 engine. The narrower coach and a little shorter makes it more maneuverable. But i dont live in mine either, its more of a holiday hotrod. I guess it depends on what you want to do with it and what your preferences are.
