Over 25 years of life an RV can have many different modifications done to it...
BOY, is THAT a true statement!  Having read some of the horror stories on this Forum relating to "creative" wiring done by previous owners, I consider myself lucky to have (so far) only encountered one such problem.  In our case, it was a incorrectly wired replacement alternator (which is a VERY common occurrence), and was easily rectified.

Jack and Emily - you both can expect many surprises (both good and not so...) as you explore your new-to-you coach.  Have fun!

I know they can be expensive and some feel not worth the cost, but can you tell us who the artist is or the shop where it was painted?

The artist is Augie Saccoccio (Augies Art & Customs). In addition to this coach, he had painted a speed boat for the couple we purchased from. I'm not sure either of these projects were the norm for him, but we are very happy with his work!

Well I never made it to the RV; a client caught me by cell phone right after I dropped Hailey off and watched her hobble into her Jr. High with a backpack I could barely lift myself.

Tomorrow!

Jack & Emily,
Welcome to the forum. Great paint Job, very nice looking U225. We also own a U225 (94). Ours is configured a bit differently than yours. For example our house batteries are located behind the driver side rear tires, while the Eng batteries is behind the passenger side rear tires.
We have done several updates and upgrades to ours. As things come up I will share my experience as best i can.
Enjoy your FT.

Just wanted to update everyone on this topic.
As it turns out, one of the two batteries in the compartment to the rear of the driver area was the chassis battery, and the other was the house battery. We are still not sure if there ever was a battery under the entry step as Foretravel advised, but there is not one there now.

You all have been so helpful and I'm sure the archive of this thread may help someone else in the future.

We are heading out for our first trip this coming weekend and I plan to take some more interior & exterior photos then.

Thank you all so much for your kindness and your technical expertise!
