Removed all inactive wasp nests, formulating plan of attack for the one active nest located in the 4" steel tube that is the back bumper.
So the lower half of the grille, which is normally installed between the headlights, was stashed in the back bunk... Based on the dent in it, I would suspect that it had been involved in the rear-ending of something with a trailer hitch. Hammered it back into shape and reinstalled.
Moving on to the rear hatch, which is the access to the fresh water holding tank and the back side of the breaker box. This one is in fine shape, aside from needing minor repair to one of the chains that supports the hatch when it is sitting open. Cleaned out some more odds-and-ends from here as well, quickcrete, several exploded tubes of some sort of adhesive, a pair of unsafe looking safety goggles, etc...
Replaced all external occurrences of bent-up-rusted-old-coat-hanger with actual fasteners... this includes both license plates, passenger side mirror, and several sections of the grille.
Began removing odds-and-ends from the bathroom, random towel hooks, medicine cabinet, odd little baskets mounted on the walls. Now all that remains is the toilet, sink, and shower drain.
The external hatch for the generator housing was tweaked pretty bad, so I removed it and bent it back into a shape. As the previous owners had sold the generator, this area apparently became storage for old 5 gallon buckets of paint (pink & blue), a rusty old saw, several large tarps that had seen better days, and a large pot one might boil crabs in... The hatch still needs a lot of work, but at least it sits flush on all sides when closed, and the housing is cleaned out and ready for a new generator.
