Emery,
All I know that the user manual said Transmode and I believe the TZE number
confirms it.

No idea who finished it. I assumed (there's that word again) that all
Transmodes are 'not finished by GM'.

A lot of it seems stock, but then there some differences:

Power has an automatic switch-over from Shore to GenSet
Fresh water and holding tank has the electrode type sensors.
Electric panel, converter, etc is underneath the fridge

Fridge seems to be in a standard place, ie. inside entry door on the left.

Water filler is behind propane door, i.e. not open to outside.

Power cord for shorepower is stored in a tray above GenSet. Access is via
main generator door.

Truck type (big) battery to the rear of GenSet. (2 batteries up front.
Regular and boost)

Cupboards seem to be same but a lighter colored wood (maple perhaps?) and
all wood. Only formica is the countertop.

When I get it cleaned up for next trip [g] I'll take some interior shots.
Perhaps someone has seen similar. Surely it's not a one of, but who knows.
It has a CSA "Certified Motorhome" sticker by the door which may mean it was
finished in Canada.

Heinz, it is sounding more and more like a Hughes!

I'll check the Registry tonite. There are perhaps a dozen or so Norris'
in the computer. I really don't know a lot about them. Perhaps a Norris
owner can jump in and share what they know.

I'll get back to you tomorrow. BTW, I really enjoy your web site!
