Seems simple enough, put pieces in the bus and fit them together until you run out. But for the life of me I can't figure out where this piece fits. The hardware is the same so its definitely from the same kit.

Here's pics

yeah under the back seat. It's not sundial, it's one of the cheaper ones. Kamper Kit, Roadrunner, or similar.

Montgomery ward/Alabama camper

If the bed/rear seat slides out on wooden sliders instead of the scissor brackets it for sure is. I bet it’s got a weird mismatch of hinges throughout. And the bed hinges are piano style.

If it makes you feel better, the doors didn’t have cabinets with this kit. It was flat finished cheap plywood with the god awful trim you see everywhere else. The roof was the same.

If you ever make it up to Seattle I have a whole (same) kit I’ll give you for free for spare parts. It smells like hookers and peanut butter though…..

Here's the final fit up. Now its time to see which pieces are usable and what needs to be replaced.

Hookers and peanutbutter. The visuals are endless!

Thankfully this is a less desirable kit because I plan on modifying it a bit to make it more functional.

If you have pics of the cargo door pieces I would really appreciate it.

Riviera, looks identical to mine.

Clara is right, Riviera formica tops were white like she posted, a bluish/teal color and a subtle yellow I think.

Thank you everyone for the quick replies! I'll keep this thread alive and updated as I move forward with this project.

The wheels are spinning fast. As soon as it cools down a bit some actual work can get done!
