Not an eleganza, despite the title. I know nothing about it
other than it looks nice and the price is low. The side
seats instead of the couch look original and are unusual.

Why do you say it isn't an Eleganza, Karen? It could be an Eleganza SE
model, which preceeded the EL II. However, according to the Registry
TZE064V100705 is a Painted Desert.

I'm not Karen, but I also didn't think it looked like an Eleganza. (SE or II) The furniture, paneling, colors in the bath and padding across the rear all screamed "Painted Desert" to me.

It looks as if they used original captain’s chairs to replace the sofa. I think this looks nice. But it’s being sold by “BondoBob” which doesn’t instill a great deal of confidence in the craftsmanship of the work...

When I see a low price on a coach in the rust-belt I’m always concerned about the frame. Even though mine came from Ohio it spent most of its life in the West.

Because the colors and cabinets look like our '73 coach (and others I've seen).
I believe even the earliest Eleganza SE's had flexsteel seats. This one has
a plywood dinette. But I suppose when I say "Eleganza" I am thinking
of the Eleganza II, not the SE.
