Congratulations! Great looking coach.

FYI, transmode means GM did not finish the interior -- so all Coachmen products, ie, Royale, left the GM factory as transmodes.

Safe travels.

All, thank you SO much for your help. I was able to contact the previous owner of the rig I wanted to buy because of the registry and the quick response from Bill Massey and John Shotwell. The PO was able to fill me in on all the work done on the coach (new rebuilt motor and tranny within 5000 miles, plus a huge amount of updates / upgrades). I would have been scared to death of this rig otherwise, since the new owner really didn't know anything about it. The good news is that he also didn't know that the previous two owners had spent about $100k making it better.

Anyway, here she is:

The only real mystery at this point is "what is she?". The VIN (and tag - see the bottom photo) say it's a Transmode, while all the other evidence points to a Royale. I guess I don't care too much either way, but it sure looks (smells, feels) like a Royale, with nice walnut cabinets and the typical center kitchen, dry bath layout.
