Richard, I'm quite certain that Royales were named by Coachmen after the
famous 7 Bugatti Royales, which are worth about a Gazillion $ each. They
are largely considered to be the most rare and valuable automobiles ever
made, so naming a coach as nice as my "Roy" after them makes perfect
sense! Actually, my late father, for whom "Roy" is named, would have
loved the part about the topless bar. He was a commercial real etate
broker for 40 years, specializing in bars and restaurants. He did, in
fact, handle the sale of the Kingsley Inn!
(That last part is actually true!)
