Western Recreational Vehicles TC

Question

We just acquired a 1994 Western Recreational TC (Alpenlite) and would love to have a brochure for this camper when new. It was sold to us with 100% assurances that it was an aluminum frame structure. We immediately had a corner jack pull away from the frame. The decals and tags for model and serial are unreadable at this point in it's life, but we think it is a 1993 year...model "M-11 DBEC". It is 11 feet without slides. Built in generator, dry bath.

We love the camper and hope to restore it and install Stable Lift jack system..

Would anyone have a brochure or know where I might find one? We might get some relief on what we paid for it....if it is not an aluminum frame?

Thanks for any help....Andy'n'Linda

My wife and I visited the plant in Yakima, WA in the early 90s (not sure what year) and got a short tour of the construction line. It was definitely Al framed with solid foam insulation between the Al tubing.

They assembled one entire panel (like a side or front piece) at a time. I can't recall exactly how they were joined together but it wasn't welded since the panels were insulated and skinned both inside and out at that point. Hope that helps.

Thank you Mortimer,msiminoff,gkirtley.....

Your responses are very helpful and giving me some insight into this Alpenlite. You have me convinced that it is a AL frame. Now if I can just figure out how that corner Jack is fastened into it.

Thanks again
