Found this 1978 26ft transmode for sale in an RV storage/sale yard near where I store mine. There is another 23ft inside the fence. I haven't gotten too much info about yet.

This one has 4 2009 tires and 2 from prior to 2000. Has original airbags, no spare, and looks pretty rough. Guessing form the roof and door there is probably water damage inside. All shades and curtain behind cockpit have been closed, so can't tell much what kind of layout it has. Plates are from Washington and sign indicates $7500 starting price. If anyone is interested I can send more info or pictures.

I have a contact for the 23ft inside the fence. When I called he indicated it had pretty much been gutted.

First try at pictures...

Yes. That was my read of the VIN.
TZE368V101856

Sure would like to see what the inside looks like. Just curious. Can't afford to even think about buying it. Doesn't look like there are many parts I would want on this one. Better someone that wants to restore and take care of it.

Frankly, it looks closer to 500 than 7500... depending how it drives out.
