Found this on my local CL when looking for something else.

I have no connection or interest in this item whatsoever.
If the ad is true, it might be a very good start for a conversion. The 10K generator, 8V71, and rooftop A/C's are worth the price alone.

A Pennsylvania vehicle with no rust? Should be in a museum.
Great if you're under 6ft with the roof A/C's hanging down. Good Luck, TomC
I'm thinking the height should be the same as a 4104. I'm 6'2" and can stand underneath a standard Coleman roof unit, no problem. .. and that is with a layer of carpeting and padding on the floor.
The price is seems right. Tom Y

Living in Minnesota 50 years, I learned to approach vehicles said to have no rust with great caution. The term seems to mean different things to different people. For example, some feel that if the car hasnt sagged to the ground or has holes large enough to lose a case of beer through the floor or trunk, its not rusty. Ive actually gone to look at cars said to be "no rust" that had holes all over. When you call them on it they usually come back with "its not that bad".
The other extreme were the cars said to be rusty, and you get there and all the car has is some some specks on the rockers. Buyer beware.
Heck of a deal IMO. Take off the tires, roof air, generator, and drivetrain. Then scrap the rest after parting it out. Another no loose situation IMO.

I am 6'1" and am sure I hit 6'2" with shoes. I can stand under a Dometic and a Carrier without a problem in a 4106.
I got a laugh out of the fact he thinks a rear bathroom is a plus for a conversion. Lucky are the ones who finds a shell without it. Mine never had one.
Since Gm's were mostly made of aluminum the no rust statement is probably true.
And all the items on it made out of steel are usually in excess of 6 inches thick .LOL.

The skin was aluminum. The frame was steel. Galvanic corrosion and other rust are common on the ones I've seen.
