- 2bzy2cExplorer IINot to be negative, but by the time you put tires on it, you have exceeded its resale value.
Better off spending a little more and getting a later model that does not need restoring. - Tyler0215Explorer

Well you are being negative. - kaxExplorerLOL...but you didn't answer the question.
- Bill_SatelliteExplorer IIThere is always someone more interested in beating you down than offering useful information. I hope someone will be able to come along and get you the information you need. Ask me about my 1988 RV.
- DachristianmanExplorerI believe it would have welded tubular aluminum wall construction. I don't think the Georgie Boy line used wood in the roof or walls.
Tom - Kayteg1Explorer IIThe best way to detect metal frame is take a look on cold and wet morning.
Metal posts show condensation even via the siding.
Steel frame should be easy to detect with magnet, while stud finders do have wire detection, that also should work on aluminium frame. - GeocritterExplorerHere's a link to someone's questions about a mid-90's vintage Georgie Boy http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/24863753.cfm in this link is a diagram showing square tubular aluminum framing.
Steve - cdl2ExplorerWe had a 1996 Cruise master.......metal frame.
It was a good coach, except the P 30 chassis took a while to get into shape. - Toxed2lossExplorerThanks for the link Geocritter! It was very helpful!
I own and am remodeling a 1998 Georgie Boy Maverick. - mowermechExplorerIf you restore it as a hobby or as a "labor of love", that's fine.
If you are thinking of the restoration as an investment, you are quite possibly delusional. It is very doubtful you will get anywhere near what you invest in it in return.
As for the framing issue, others have answered that. If still in doubt, remove a roof vent and take a look inside the roof
