The Detroit is probably the 8.2 liter four cycle engine. Single front bumper and smaller compartment doors preclude it being a U300.

By looking at the lug nuts (6 per wheel ) would suggest a gas Pusher not a diesel pusher with 8 lugs per wheel

Except the ad specifically says Detroit Diesel.  I also assume 8.2 liter V8 210 HP.

Wheeis look like nighthawk's 8.2 Detroit, only 2 latches on propane door that matches the 8.2. at least nighthawk's coach has docking lights. This one doesn't, odd.

Anybody notice there are two front clearance light lens missing? And three on the rear?
