Looks like an early model one too(rear mount distributor,so 331/354/392 vs. 426).That thing got a Hemi in it?
Look at the rear overhang on that thing, it's no wonder there are stress bulges all down the side panels above the rear wheels as the aluminium panels are probaly all that is keeping the chassis straight and its ass off the ground.Wow.. gotta by a junkpile to get 'em but here's 6 3500HD-pattern (10 lug x 7.25" bolt circle) Alcoa 19.5" wheels on an RV. Maybe it's got a Chevy big block in it, too. $1500, gotta tow it out, Atascosa, TX (a bit Southwest of San Antonio) ... You can only run 4 on a regular HD (and 2 steel inners) so 2 spares or sell 'em.. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/244476341301508/

Yup the outer panels de laminate when they've been sitting for a while, probably has leaky top too....And an RV is basically a big box, with a few partitions inside, all built for lightness and cheapness. They don't last forever especially when not cared for. That delamination is one thing parks watch for on older rigs; they don't want them coming apart on their lots.Look at the rear overhang on that thing, it's no wonder there are stress bulges all down the side panels above the rear wheels as the aluminium panels are probaly all that is keeping the chassis straight and its ass off the ground.
Oh for sure, it's a complete pile. It's almost worth the price of admission to get the 6 Alcoas as they've been discontinued forever and weren't many made in the first place. A comparable aluminum 19.5" wheel (though in a different pattern as they're not making aluminum wheels in 10x7.25 pattern as far as I know) is around $450/ea new. If the thing has a usable engine or even a buildable core, you might come out winning. Being a 1990 model though the trans will be a TH400 unfortunately so no 4L80E love. Nothing wrong with a TH400 just worth less in terms of parts value on this otherwise-dumpster dive. Also taking a wild guess here but I would imagine the rear axle may be a Dana 80, not sure if it shares dimensions with a 3500HD Dana 80 though. All this is assuming it's based on the GM chassis which it probably is, since it has those particular wheels on it.Look at the rear overhang on that thing, it's no wonder there are stress bulges all down the side panels above the rear wheels as the aluminium panels are probaly all that is keeping the chassis straight and its ass off the ground.
