Dodge chassis were used on all Clippers through the 1977 model year. Due to a shortage of Dodge chassis in
November and December of 1977, some Chevrolets were used beginning in 1978 and their occasional use continued until the end of production.
The side kitchen/rear bath model was introduced in August 1977 (1978 model) and the popular "bunkhouse" models appeared in November, 1977.
Only 25 of the rare 24'
Clippers were produced in late 1979 and 1980. |
