not sure if this works....posting the photos in post above.
I'm full of questions - and will research this board to see what I can find out.
The cabinets and some of the walls are wood, but there are these funky cardboard type wall panels with the ornate patterns that echo the cabinet latches.
Anyone ever seen anything like that?
The gas lamp is weird, don't know if it is an add on or not.
Has frig, heater, and toilet - unsure of condition on any of those.
Rear end has a bench/couch that turns into a bed.
First job was cleaning out mouse poop. Off to research best ways to deter mice, if possible.

That's definitely a flashback to the 70's. You've got a lot of potential there and a lot of work ahead of you. I read on another forum that mint deters mice. Crush the plants and put them in netted bags, or panty hose. But the best way is to seal their entry points. You'll get there in time.

oops, I sent a message asking for pictures, but they just popped up. Your interior has some cool features. Looks like there are lots of possibilities. I love the stove. What are you planning?

The stove caught my eye too. Unfortunately the po traveled with the burner rings on the stove, so there are some pretty deep gouges on top.
I'm going back and forth - I'm short on time, skills, and money. I want to use it as a camper, and also as a guest cabin - I live in a very rural area.
First steps will be to check out whether the propane lines are working and safe, and the water tank. Next is to remove the frig. Not sure if I will replace it or not, I am thinking not. I kayak, and have a hard time getting enough time to kayak, so I am thinking I won't be using it more than once or twice a year as a camper, so an ice chest would be fine.
Also will remove the toilet, and convert that into a closet?
I need new tires....and to figure out how safe it is. Floor seems sound except for a very small area by the door.
I am reading everything I can, and I know removing the skin is way way beyond me.
