Steve w & others,
My take; there WERE real reasons for the raised floor in the rear. The interiors in the 1973 & 74s were done by Gemini, a time in the 70s when quality control was usually a misnomer. The rugs were usually installed before any modules and furniture was installed (we often find rug remnants under modules after the rug has been replaced). That allows any of the floor plans to be installed without concern for fitting the rugs to a particular floor plan.
There were a number of reasons for the raised floor, sufficient heights for the generator, the water tank, seating height standards and the inclined floor at the very rear of the MH floor.
I removed my raised floor years ago as I didn't like the weight of all that lumber in the rear ;^(
While one of GMCs goals was to appeal to women (per House & Gardens input) I don't think this was one of them.
