The exterior paint scheme was designed by the previous owner. The coach also hosts Velvac mirrors, Chevy Lumina wiper arms, a Ragusa step and screen door available from Jim Kanomata and a lighted handle from JR Slaten. An Omni Store awning was acquired thru a group purchase organized by Ken Henderson. The front wheels are circa 2000 Dodge truck 16” X 8” alloy wheels and 255/70-R16 tires. Rear wheels are American Eagle alloys from Jim Kanomata at Applied GMC. The coach is equipped with a 140 watt solar charging system with the Kyocera panel mounted on the roof pod and the Xantrex charge controller mounted in the electrical cabinet. The interior has been redone with a Jim Bounds sofa, new upholstery, a Corian counter top with single bowl undermount sink and a Dometic two burner stove.
