I just talked to Ed Larid. (Who was th owner (back in the 80's) of the Birch with the deep dish wheels often pictured pulling a speed boat.) As he is a full time RV'er, he is thinking of getting a larger motorhome and selling his Royale:

He knows he would get little to nothing as a trade-in and was asking about what it was worth. As it has not been driven much but is being lived in full time, I told him not much in today's market.
It DOES have some unique "features," like molded in fender flares rear trunk and real BULL horns on the hood. (Mostly to tweak his adult kids... I am fairly sure the plastic Alien on the roof is meant to be removed before driving the coach.... )
He says he is also selling his Excalibur.

He has used it as a towd behind his Royale.

Both the coach and car are near New River AZ. While both of these vehicles would require a "special" buyer, if anyone wants his contact info, please PM or eMail me directly.
I could get more pictures and info later in the year. I am not local to the coach but I plan on stopping by New River just before the Saguaro Jetset'ers March rally. (March 15-18, 2012 at the Eagle View RV Resort in Fort McDowell, Arizona. As I am not a SJS member I hope they let me in... I am giving them a good plug! I also am trying to talk Ed into stopping by. It has been something like 20 years from when he was an active member.)
