Fleetwood Elkhorn Construction
I am looking at buying a 2003 Fleetwood Elkhorn 9D. Are these wood frame construction or aluminum? Can't find much info on the Elkhorn campers. Any info I can get on it would be appreciated. Steve

On my Fletwood the first thing that rotten was plywood under the sides.
It was wallpapered with vinyl and my assumption was that all the condensation + leaks went down there and vinyl would keep the moisture in the plywood.
Wasn't that big deal as this is sandwiched floor where upper plywood still hold.
I peeled the lower 2 layers of plywood, leaving the last layer still glued to frame and laminated whole thing.
Just like a boat ;)
Than what I know, all slides do have aluminium frame even when camper is all wood.
