I am encouraged by the fact that maintenance parts for  “off the shelf” is still available for the tried and true class 8 axles, brakes and suspension systems. While there are resources available for those products. Luckily the Perkins genset, cat, and ridewell systems that were used on this coach and most of the consumable maintenance bushings, hoses, bearings, seals, brake linings, pumps and diesel parts, and air brake systems etc are still available. Original Hard parts or assemblies? Not so much, but hopefully an OTR big truck salvage yard can find something replaceable, but that’s worse case scenario. As far as above the floor is concerned, anything goes. 
     We are fortunate that all the systems are working at this point but we know how forty year old gremlins can be on Hvac, water, plumbing, appliances, and just about any thing electrical.
    
     Hopefully I can upgrade to the 21st century on some things. I’m looking at the options for an updated sound system, preferably with cellular/Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capability and an integrated mapping system with side and backup cameras. Also am considering a satellite upgrade and solar/inverter addition and possibly with Lithium coach batteries. I’m sure the original 12v converter will need upgrading as I have replaced others with progressive dynamics in other motorhomes for proper battery maintenance and longevity.

    Other than that, I’ll try to keep it as original as possible due to the fact that it’s in such good shape. Sometimes simple is best. I’m definitely open to suggestions.
    Maybe one day they’ll make a plug and play AWARE system to retrofit.... ok I’m dreaming now,
