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

I work on my Fleetwood Caribou quite a bit and this is where I know aluminium goes
- rear vertical corners
- edges of sides under the walls
- cabover sides
-slide around
There is no aluminium in main floor, no aluminium in cabover floor and nose beside the outside edges, no aluminium in the rear wings, no aluminium in bathroom floor and compartments under.
The rear bumper/step is all big aluminium but looks like bolted to main floor - can't tell if it is connected to rear aluminium frame.
The biggest bummer is weak front wall, that holds most of camper weight when set on the truck, or pallets. Not only no aluminium, but build with toothpicks and symbolic shear wall.
