I found a GMC motorhome...a 76 Eleganza II with a plate on the side that says serial #3338 (I couldn't get inside or find any other info) is there a way to find out anything about this coach? It also had a FMCA plate on the back with a number on it...any way to find some history using that number? I'm going back to look at it again but would like to know all I can about it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Open the right side hood & get the TZE# off the plate on the firewall & we'll know something.

Pop open the passenger side engine hatch. On the firewall right there will be the patent plate. The number you want begins with TZE. Might also be a model number. Write down everything on the plate and post here, The Registry Guy will tell you whether he has it on file or not.

If I remember correctly 76 was the peak year for EII production. The later years had more advancements and bugs worked out so that may be a good find. Welcome to the nut house.

Hi John. I'm from over south of Des Moines. Good to see somebody from my neck of the woods here. I have a former student that works at the local phone company in Wilton. Look forward to hearing about your find.

Hi Galen, yes I'm from eastern Iowa but I grew up in DM...my dad (years after I moved out) lived just off exit 68 on I35 not far from you. My kids live in the DM area so I get back there once in a while.
