Stupid questions....

1) What are the differences between Palm Beach, Painted Desert, Eleganza, Eleganza II, Canyon Lands, Glacier, Glenbrook, Edgemont, Kingsley models (any others?)?

2) All I have been able to decipher by reading available data is that the Birchavens are evidently all 23', true?

3) Were all dozen or so floorplans available in all models?

4) Were all colors available on all models?

5) Did all the Royales have Coachman interiors?

6) What is a "Norris"?

I am a relative new comer so am allowed to ask stupid questions for at least six months, right?:)

interior and exterior colors. The Eleganza SE was only made in 1974 and
was all electric and the Edgemont was the twin bed/dry bath model
finished by GM and made only in 1976. Of course among the models,
CanyonLands, Glacier, Painted Desert and (Sequoia) there were 23' and 26'
models made. Many different floor plans ere offerred.

True. They were finshed by Coachman

Edgemont.

In 1973 and 1974 you could order any one of 5 exterior colors regardless
of the model. From 1975 on, all Eleganzas were beige, Palm Beaches were
Mint green (altho a few were white) Kingsleys, etc.

Coachmen, Norris, Roll-a-Long, Hughes, Landau, Avion, Eldorado and
Foretravel all had their own exterior color schemes.>

Yes.

A coach builder like the others. I have 10 Norris coaches in the registry
but don't know how many were built.

I remember being told a long time ago..."there are no stupid
questions-only stupid answers.

Ray, I will send you a request for info for the GMC Motorhome Registry. I
appreciate your taking the time to complete the info and send it back.>
