While I was working on the fuel tanks, I was getting ready to replace all the rubber lines so I took off the driver side panel to get to the fill neck. I knew there was a hole on the side of the coach when we bought it, I just thought someone had drilled it for some unknown reason, that is until I saw it from the inside... Big bushy ball of loose fibers, not a drilled hole at all. I checked the side panel and sure enough there is a hole in it as well. Off to the seat and sure enough there is a matching hole in the seat bottom cushion. I might have to do some surgery someday and see if I can recover the bullet.

From the outside.

And the seat.

Makes me wonder what the history is!
