I purchased a used 2004 29FBS in 2009. When I looked at it, it had cracked linoleum. The seller had it replaced before I bought it, I'm not sure when they changed but I think it was before 2013

While camping at Glacier National Park one year, I ran out of battery. I swapped it into my tow vehicle and went site seeing. When I got back to camp, it was fully charged.
