Great news!!!!

The insides of all are pretty similar.  Different paneling/wallpaper, different fabrics, etc., but the guts were the same throughout the years.  There were only a few floorplans and those only varied with the following for the 21ft length:

Standard OR L-shaped dinette

Two chairs and table OR couch

Side OR Rear kitchen

Because they use a mold to make the fiberglass shell, and the molds were very expensive, they had to keep the cutouts for windows, doors, access, etc., the same for all the plans.  So that limited the variations.

When they could afford the two new molds, they added the bunkhouse and the 24ft length.
