I used to build Amigos back in the early 70s. They were built in San Marcus California. They were the Cadillac of motorhomes back in the day. Amigos were the only motorhome in those days that had a steel welded coach frame, all the others were wood frame built (like a house). The siding was riveted aluminum with fiberglass end caps. All were built on the Dodge chassis with the exception of a very few Chevys. We only built 2 a week when all others manufacturers were cranking out 1 a day. The price was $25,000, which was a lot back then. We had a final inspection guy that drove every one of them home every night and back the next morning until the next one rolled off the line. The gas crunch in the 70s was the demise of Amigo Motorhomes.
The preceding info is to the best of my recollection. That was a long time ago.
Not So, Xplorer Class C and Class A motorhomes were built with steel frame and fiberglass exterior in the 70's and 60's.
