We just got back to San Jose with our "new" '75 Eleganza II.
Other than a stripped out windshield wiper and too much rain on
the road, it went well. Kinda cool having two of them to compare.
Sure makes the 23' look smaller!
Anyway, I find that on the '73 coach, all the cabinets are solid lightweight plywood
with a fake wood grain veneer, and the door and drawer fronts are a very
light construction of foam core and wood covered by laminate.
Drawer sides are wood, but stapled together.
The '75 on the other hand, has all particle board cabinets and door/drawer fronts.
Drawers are dovetailed wood.
So my question (probably for Dave G.): when did they change
over to particle board?? Was that a 1975 change when they
decided to go "upscale" on the cabinetry? I figure the particle
board adds a bunch of weight (though maybe insignificant in such a big vehicle).
thanks,
Karen
