to be clear Lyle, my comment about building RVs from spare parts/ad lib was a bit of sarcasm... I hope. Although the CS person did insist drawings no longer exist, I assume there must have been some drawings to go by at least in the year my RV was produced. I do think it's disturbing that a company that builds them doesn't keep the drawings.
The same person that made the decision to throw the drawings away I'm betting was the interior decorator that decided on the horrible fabrics and dog ugly furniture as she/he wanted to lose the evidence and the memory.
No offense to our four legged friends.
Frankly, I don't think they're too far off, the way that some of these things are built. I also think that they =do= have them...scanned...and just don't want to share them...or take the trouble to do so. Again, just shows the attitude the mfrs tend to have about their customers. Anything they don't want to do, even if they're capable of doing it, they throw onto their dealers.
I agree about the interior fabrics, though I thought they were designed by old hippies having acid flashbacks. Sure not designed by people who actually =use= RVs or they'd get away from the vinyl/"leatherette" junk. They sit in their A/C'd offices all day and have never had a case of swamp-a$$, from sitting on that stuff. Give me good ol' cloth any day.
