This rear bath, twin bed coach interior has been totally renovated except for the stove and headliner. The original stripes were masked while the exterior of the coach was repainted by Cooperative Motorworks. The coach also hosts a Carefree Colorado awning, Alcoa wheels and DirectTV satellite disk with lowering kit. The padded Landau cover on the side of the coach was damaged in a storm. While removing the upholstery, it was discovered that the original transmode rear side window was actually further back and filled in with aluminum sheeting.WINTER 2017 GMC MOTORHOMES INTERNATIONAL 3
