On a rear engine WL the genset is in front. Late in the 80's, BB improved the
genset ground clearance, but the location stayed the same. Mostly folks seem to
keep the genset tray from "grounding out" but the clearance is minimal.

the Cat was an option. If the Cat in this 1980 has a turbo, it is a replacement
for the original Cat 3208 engine.

the roof is not as strong, but it supports all 180 pounds of me.

such of a weird location? Also, the owner has replaced the rv with a CAT. What
is standard? Also, I see that the roof has a very small railing on the roof. Is
the roof able to be walked on? The owner did not show me the rig but a an
employee.
