Brian,
Looks like it's in pretty good shape.  All appliances appear to be original except for the refrigerator. 
I"m just curious, how will you handle the power conversion when you hook up electric with all of these 120 VAC 60 hz appliances?
Do you know if it's a requirement to select a standard 8 ft wide coach for import?  (my '91 was the last year for 8 ft wide U300/U280 coaches)

BTW, no offense taken in the use of "cheap" - I didn't even notice.
Cheers!

8 feet 2 inches or 2500mm maximum width, or it dont get registered, This one is 96 inches wide, so it does comply.
The overhang is another one, No more than 60 % of the axle centres allowed to over hang, or a max of 3.7 metres,
A 33 feet G/V is about 3 inches too long,
They will not allow the wide ones on the road here,
It will have both, 110 and 240,
New Invertor for the 240 volt , 50 hertz,
Cheers,

Sue and I have the SBI layout with the little 1/2-dinette booth. At first we just assumed that the booth would just be for kids but have discovered that the spot makes a good "workbench" for sewing projects, electronics assemblies, etc. It also makes a secure place to prepare snacks and lunch "on-the-go" without worrying about being tossed around by bumps and curves. And it really is the perfect place for one or two kids to eat or assemble Lego toys.

Blankets and pillow storage in the bench seat and a good place to stow the wooden step (the U225 doesn't offer an automatic step) and ground mat under it.

The "entertainment" area above the garbage compactor aft of the door is also handy for dishes, cups and glasses and the extra drawers are invaluable. I am mounting my battery monitor system in this area somewhere.

i'm wondering how your exporter will handle the entry door situation; moving it to the other side will inevitably create some interesting problems to solve.

The new door will go in the bedroom, As long as it is there, it complys, even if we dont use it, I will keep the right hand door as is,

It is against the law here to be unbuckled while travelling, Must have safety belts on at all times, 3 points and $340-00 fine, 12 points and no licence,

We will be too far away for kids to be on the bus,
