Subject:Re: FS '88 westy with only 36k original miles

I often find that these extremely low mileage vehicles turn out to be
high mileage vehicles with the low mileage quoted being on a rebuilt
engine.  Maybe not in some cases, but it is common.  If the vehicle has
such low mileage, with the camping equipment seldom used, and was always
garaged, why did it need a new pop top, and why does it need a new
propane tank?

So far as the chrome, moon hubcaps, those are the originals, and I have
them on my camper.  When I bought it, it had plastic wheel covers that
are quite popular and mimic the appearance of alloy wheels.  The moons
were in a cabinet inside.  First thing I did was to switch them for the
plastic goofy things :-) .  Truer to the original appearance of the
camper.
