1978 Chinook "Omega" RV on a 1992 Toyota Pickup 1-ton Chassis (5600 GVWR, 2100 payload).  5-lug, original HD rear axle (no aftermarket "dually").  V6 engine. PS, PB. Manual 5-speed transmission. No AC ever installed.  Brakes, shocks and exhaust replaced in 2016. Engine head gasket replaced on Toyota Recall at 143,801 miles (Feb 2003). Though it hasn’t been on the road since 2017, it has been started and run periodically each season.  Mileage on odometer is true (166,396). 

The engine recently started missing, misfiring, and running rough.  Not sure why, but it starts, runs, drives and idles; though engine runs very rough.  I think it may result from chipmunk issues. The parking brake cable is not working - maybe rusty (I mention as the parking brake is important on a manual transmission).

RV portion: Chinook brand, "Omega" model. Overall length, 17’, bumper-to-bumper.  This is the side-door, stand-up model (not pop-up).  All-fiberglass shell.  Original power converter, furnace and 3-burner cook-top.  The original LP refrigerator was missing and an "aftermarket" Igloo 12V cooler was in it when I got it. The cooler will run on the RV battery, or via the onboard power converter. Lots of big windows, plus a roof window above the cab.

Notes:
1) This is a project RV.
2) The engine will need a tune-up or cleaning. It is not highway ready, though can be shuttled around or driven onto a trailer on its own accord.
3) The rocker panels are rusty and older repairs to them are failing.
4) The large, side, sliding windows are missing their original vinyl channels and rattle; and may leak in heavy rain. All the windows, except rear, may need resealing as the original seals are 45+ years old. The rear window was resealed recently.
5) It comes with two, horizontal LP tanks (one original, one new/unused) that are not installed as the under-chassis mount was removed due to rust. The regulator and gas lines are still in place.
6) The original mag wheels (14"), are included (no tires). The currently installed wheels and tires are 15" and ST rated tires.
7) I have lots of the original literature and user manuals, with descriptions of what came "vintage".
