Thanks

IIs it a Classic or a Towlite?It could be about $$2000.00 in materials. Many of us have done rebuilds and can advise you. Look for back posts on rebuilds. This way you will know what you are getting into time and $ wise. It absolutely can be repaired if you are handy.

It’s listed as a HiLo. No decals front and back caps are fiberglass
 
HiLo is the manufacturer's "brand name". "Classic" and "Towlite" are model names and they are needed to help determine the interior construction. Possibly, someone could tell if you showed exterior pictures, if you can't determine the model otherwise.

That is a classic HiLo. Upgraded cabinets and upholstery. It has metal tubing in the walls. No need to brace the walls on the inside. DH used Rustoleum on any rusty supports.

Thank you very much, that eases my mind about buying it.
