All the Coachman upfitted coaches I have seen were 1976 or newer.
It is a 1975 and has the stripes of the early Brichaven. (Never understood the design... the front looks backwards!) But the interior seems wrong for a side bath Birchaven.
Maybe it is the prototype Brichaven?

All 23' models sold 1975-1978 were Transmodes and the vast majority were
upfitted by Coachman as Birchavens.

Could be a side bath Crestmont. (By Midas) The stripes ARE Coachman stripes but could be non-original.
1975 was an interesting year for transmode upfitting.. lots of one or two off models. (Most Avions are 1975's, THIS 23' is NOT an Avion.)
1976 upfitters got a bit more stable:

Mike,
According to all the documentation I have ever been able to find ALL Avions
are 1975.
Which I find most interesting as they are a really nice coach! Guess you'd
figger that's what I'd say since I own three of them! ;-)
The only things I don't like are the "Love Seat" behind the driver and the
storage area for skis just behind the passenger side front wheel. You'd have
to be really keen to take one of these babies to the ski slopes in the
winter!
