Well after a long search, a couple of weeks of some emails back and forth, and an adventure through Portland's traffic, I pulled into the driveway with this 86 Keystone from OSUFlyer.
I have some plans to upgrade the interior a bit over the coming months but first I am just going to use it as is before I start taking things out.
I will get some proper tie downs, but it is already off the truck as I don't want to drive around with on for now. The first project is figuring out what battery I am going to put in it (so many different types, sizes, and price points). My electrical uses will be pretty minimal, charging phone, camera batteries, maybe a computer, some lights, and running the maxxair fan. My plan is to add some solar down as well, probably something semi portable because it will be parked in the shade, but close to sun. So any suggestions are appreciated.
If I find time this summer I will likely take out the entire kitchenette and rebuild something a little bit lighter with more storage. As much fun as an oven would be to have I don't see myself baking too much. I have some ideas for a couple cabinets and a counter top, sans sink, with an area for a Partner 4-burner stove that can be moved to cook outside, or bring on river trips. Probably going to just use a cooler in place of a fridge. Don't want to buy more gear when I have lots that can be used in the camper as well as on rafting trips. Will add a heat source as well, maybe a small diesel heater?
Struggling to add photos but once I figure it out I will get something up.
