If you read my follow up to that post, I noted it is NOT a 5-speed.
Although Levi suggested it is a Fiberine top, the inner liner is
totally different from any Fiberine pics I have ever seen. Then again,
the former owner from Seattle where this camper was purchased (per
present owner) may have made the diamond shaped quilt liner.

At any rate, it is sale pending until Friday. No listmember asked for
a PPI so I skipped the appointment to check in person.
