| “This 52 year old classic camper’s exterior is in really good shape but has a couple of scars on the curb side (see pic). I have made the first polish pass on the exterior and it turned out really nice. The hard, dirty work on this classic camper is done. It’s ready for someone to take it over, finish it and enjoy. We contracted with a vintage camper professional to have the interior woodwork fabricated and installed. Unfortunately, the work and materials were substandard and unsafe. The interior woodwork is still intact but needs to be replaced. See detailed information in Item Description.” |
