Sweet looking coach! We've got one of those real wood "reading lights" over the driver seat - looks like you have about a dozen of them!

I have 8 of those beautiful lights in my coach. I wonder if the safe was an option on the gassers. Might be some interesting stuff in there. My safe was empty and the PO of 20 years had no idea it was there.

Where was the safe located.... ? Maybe the money from the movie " The Sting" is hidden in this coach's safe.. LOL.

Normally in the closet floor. Pick up the caroet. I had forgotten that was a SBT (Side Bath Twin.) I used to stock a twin back then but the Freeman coach may have been an order.

I like the curtain you can pull across behind the front seats. We had one just like that in a '70 Cheevy van...helped to keep the meager cold air output from the dash A/C up front where you needed it when driving.

And the so-called "reading lites" are virtually useless as reading lights. I know. We have them in our coach and the light for reading is quite ineffective. I even converted one to LED using LED light strips. No joy.
Tried simple LED bulbs--the brightest I could find. The reflective inside of these wood lights isn't very reflective.

What is that on the floor next to the trash can? I just have a hole there and one needs to know, at least this one does. 😊

That is the "salesman's switch".
Ours is located in the same relationship to the door.

Your safe could be in the floor were the passenger/copilots feet would be, maybe covered up by the carpet, check the front wheel well for a long square box

I sold at the ca store from 84 to 86 then sales managed the store from 86 to late 89.

I sort of remember Freeman. I think I ordered that coach for him. Versus in stock, but we did sell quite a few rear twins and a few rear bath twins coaches. Flat floor between beds.

The safe is in front of the co pilots seat or in the closet floor under carpet in either location.

The closet doors when open latch into the opposite side to block the hallway. Sort of.

Replace the battery charger in the tank valve compartment if still the silver box mounted upside down above the valves.

It's waste heat helped the valves to not freeze but the single stage boils the batteries badly.

Valve under kitchen cabinet stove that allows or shuts off radiator water from the water heater.

A heat rod where the water heater drain plug is off 110 volt allowed quicker reheats or just ac water heating slowly.

Ask away.
