Hello All,
I recently purchased a 1982 keystone FWC. It does come with a few issues and I have a couple of questions. First issue is it is missing the front window. The previous owner took it out and put a seal around his truck window so a dog could pass between. I will be putting it on a flatbed so I need to source a window. I have been looking online to try and find the frame material but haven't found a source yet. There is also some damage to the front below the window. The lower aluminum part of the frame is broken and two of the front supports that go from the window down to the lower frame rail have broken welds. I will be taking off the front skin and re-welding the frame. If I can't find a window I will probably just seal it up and put a new sheet over the front. I also have a wrinkle in the siding over the top of the heater outlet. I don't quite know what to do with this. It seems to me that water would get down there and cause issues. I also need to find a new water inlet piece as mine has a missing cover. Overall I'm very impressed with this for an almost 30 year old camper.
Here are some pictures of what I got.
