OK, here's what's there.  TZE166V100456.
Model 06581
 
Pretty much box stock.  Dinette behind the pax seat, couch behind the driver, galley behind that, frig across.  Electrics and water inlet on driver's side, I assume water heater behind that.  Rear queen bed, didn't look under he says settee but hasn't removed the bed.  Headliner sags, gonna gotta be redone.  Stock GM front seats and dashboard, temp guage hung under the dash.  Not running, expired battery, he says starter doesn't engage.  Was running.  Smells of gas, has a bunch of new lines spliced in underneath, but tanks weren't dropped.  Leaked when he parked it in the driveway on a slope.  supposedly water and waste tanks don't leak.  6KW Onan on a slide, says it ran.  Battery in the onan compartment, did these also have a coach battery under the rear seats?  New mufflers welded into existing pipes.  Stock mainfolds, intake looks like it might be cracked, looking down the secondaries.  Suburban fuirnace, single Coleman roof A/C, two
'gee whiz' vents.  Cargo pod, fabric spare cover.  Tires have half tread, will be out of date by age.  Stock wheels and brakes.  Drivers side rear brake line leaks.  92,880 miles on the clock, I'd say that's accurate.  A/c mod, says no cool but fan runs.  Suburban furnace.  Works.  Tank has propane in.  Repaint - poorly - below the beltline, plus some paint peeling on the rear cap.  I expect it's been hit of hit something.  Frame looks good, boots on drive axles good.  Has a rebuild invoice for the trans, no idea how well or when, but looking at the mung on it, been a while.  All vacuum hoses need replacement.  HEI ignition.  Original air compressor and wiper motor.  Has a 'power level' system, which looks stock.  Stock 8-track/radio.  His 'mechainc' sold him a new inverter, did a sorry install.  Fuel pump on rear frame - looks like for Onan - hack wired.  Got a shower stall with a door.  Dumper and lav across the aisle, next to
the refrig.  Stock suspension, air bags holding air but show dry rot.  He says they leak down over several days.  Less than 30 degrees slop in the steering wheel total.  Sway bar in front.  Nothin obvious falling off the front suspension.  Window seals want replacing all around.  Minor fogging along the windshield edges.
I'm gonna offer loball, with the idea of dragging it home and putting it under a tarp for rehab as time permits.  It is the core of a nice coach, but it has a looooong way to go.

That possibility exists also.  It was supposedly running when he parked it.  He says he was paying someone to patch it though - expensive and poor idea.
