The interior styling for the 1997 model year will be as follows:
The U270 and U320 will have the same type window treatment in the living area.
This will include taupe Day/Night tension shades, valances, fabric covered uprights, and wooden window sills at all forward windows. The drivers window will also get the tension Day/Night shades and fabric covered uprights this year. This change is made possible by the repositioning of the driver side mirror.
The bedroom window treatment will be similar in all 1997 models. This will include taupe sheer shades, valances, and privacy drapes. The bedroom overheads will deepen to nine inches to accommodate these drapes. There will be no window sills in the bedroom.
The kitchen window in all units will continue to have the string operated Day/Night shade.
The curved sofa section in all of our motorhomes where the curve was standard for 1996 will be replaced by an end table with two drawers. The lower of these two drawers will accommodate standard size files. These file holders are optional and available upon request.
As a matter of note, all 1997 motorhomes will have ThermoPane windows.
The countertops in the U270 will be a new solid surface product we will be making in house. For simplicity in communicating the countertop colors, we will refer to the new colors as we would corian, i.e. Sierra Aurora, Sapphire, etc .. These new countertops will have a single tiered edge treatment.
Please refer to the 1997 color charts, drawings, and fabric samples for specific details as to this year’s model change.
The furniture in the 1997 U270 will be as follows:
Driver and passenger chairs will Flexsteel brand.
The passenger chair will not be the extra wide style.
The sofa and recliner will also be Flexsteel brand.
The driver chair, passenger chair, and recliner will be in tan vinyl.
The driver side sofa will be in a fabric as specified by the 1997 color charts.
The passenger side sofa(when applicable)will be in tan vinyl.
