John & others,
Please DISREGARD the TZE063V100011 number as a real one. I originally listed it in my records because Dave Greenburg and I tried to validate it for quite some time and could NOT verify that TZE as valid with previous owners. As you may know the first 20 TZEs were thought to be scrapped after testing and never sold to the public. The first GMC MH sold to the public is TZE063V100021 which I checked out in North Texas a few years ago.
Several other very early Gmc MHs (21-50) that exist are:
TZE
21 (built 11-14-72)
22 " "
23
24
28
40
41
46
50
I would not be surprised if there were others. #41 has been called a prototype which it is not, it was built on the TZE manufacturing line, probably slowly but as a production 1973 coach.
Several prototypes (many design differences) were built, tested and destroyed at an earlier time.

Rick,
I believe your coach is V1001002 and build date should be 05-73, let me know if that is incorrect.
Sorry about the confusion, I should have shown the additional "000" making too many assumptions gets me in trouble.
I believe I would call the numbering system a series sequence. Each model year starts at "V1000001"* and continues to the end of that model years end of production, mixing 23' & 26' numbering along the way.
*and for a kicker, there is a CA 1978 Palm Beach with the vin, TZE168V1000000.
Ya just never know.

Thanks for filling in a sigfile.
Johnny may well have been somewhat suspicious because we have had a winners come waltzing in here, but now we have a real identity, we will be more comfortable.
Again, Welcome to the group, family, cult, asylum.
