Has anyone ever seen a Glacier interior in real life?
I've only seen them in brochure pictures.
Is it rare, or was it never produced?

Were the interior colors color-locked to the exterior color?

Dominik,

Chaumière is an almost all original Glacier. The scag carpet was/is blue, but some we have replaced with vinyl plank because it was badly worn. Seats were all a blue leaf pattern, but the front seats were reupholstered with a solid blue and white, but the dinette and rear are still the original blue leaf pattern.

Exteriors of Glaciers were either and ice blue (what Chaumière is) or a white.

And yes, the model was a color scheme only. It was not tied to floor plan or even length.

Matt

Thank you Matt for the explnation of the Glacier color option.

Matt and everybody else:

What is the difference between Sequoia and Palm Beach color choices?
They both look very green to me.

What would the exterior color options be on these two? And were they limited to some model years?

Dominik,

I can't answer the first question except to say that Palm Beach was not one of the original models. It was available only later.

What I guess you did not discover was that the four original models (Sequoia, Glacier, Canyon Lands and Painted Desert) were named for obscure (at the time) US national parks.

The answer to the question you have not asked....
Why is Matt so often the first to answer?
Georgaphy - I am in the Eastern standard time zone and even though retired I am frequently up at this time and I read the "mail" at the start of the day. This is a left over from when I was working and in conversations with both Europe and Australia.
