Some of the rivet heads on the driver"s of the sleeper are showing some signs of rust, typical for a KW of this age including some paint bubbling and discoloration on the sleeper and cab roof only. . Also, before I purchased the truck someone removed the coolant hoses to the sleeper. I never bothered replacing them because the front heater was enough to drive you out of the truck and even the sleeper. Also some of the control lettering on the KW smart steering wheel has faded, although it is easily memorized.
