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

It doesn't look like Fleetwood supports these at all anymore, at least on their website. Does anyone know if there is anywhere you can get info on these? How about a way to run the VIN to see what exactly it is?
Sounds like there might be aluminum in the corners where the jacks mount? I had to rebuild two of the corners of my Jayco where the wood rotted and the jacks didn't have anything to fasten to anymore. Figure if that part is aluminum at least those would be secure.
The camper is in OK shape for a Michigan camper. Has a couple places that the fiberglass is de-laminating. Didn't find any damp places inside. The roof does need to be resealed. A lot of the lap seal on the seams has cracks in it. The left front corner has had a leak at some point because the paneling inside is a little soft. That's the only place inside I found that there is damage visible damage. All the appliances and fixtures work well. The owners will take $3500 for it. Has been hard to find one that is what we want that has been stored inside and has no damage at all.
