In pictures of Class Cs with that cabover type, I assumed that that plastic molding was merely fit over and supported (in addition to cab ceiling support) by the internal metal framing that was an integral extension of the coach's metal wall and ceiling framing ... just like in our rig. I wonder why they couldn't have designed it that way?
Boy ... you have watch everything these days! Maybe Coach House and Oliver Travel Trailers are some of the very few these days that do it right.
