The pop top material is in great shape for its age. No rips or tears and all zippers function as they should. There is some staining but nothing serious.
The original Pop top springs and bars were bent and were replaced with versions that were in better shape from another Riviera camper.
This bus has been garaged and well taken care of since it has been in my possession. I am hoping to sell to someone who will take care of her in the same way and enjoy her for what she is. Open to shipping on buyers expense. Serious buyers only please.
