[VAL] 1969 trim levels



Glyn:

     The components of the "Land Yacht" and "International" trim level 
option packages varied each year, so there is no general rule applicable 
across years.  The most accurate approach is a year-by-year listing.

   1969 was the first year for the new aluminum shell, so the line up 
name scheme changed from 1968 and earlier years.

   For the 1969 model year, the 17' Caravel and 21' Globe Trotter were 
available only in the "Special Land Yacht Series" trim levels.  The 23' 
Safari, 25' Tradewind and the 27' Overlander were available in the 
"Deluxe Land Yacht Series" trim level.  Only the 27' Overlander, 29' 
Ambassador and 31' Sovereign of the Road" were available in the 
"International Land Yacht Series" trim level.

    The only 1969 model year trailer that was available in either the 
"Deluxe Land Yacht" or "International Land Yacht" Series trim level was 
the 27' Overlander.   "International" package upgrades included, in 
addition to the "Deluxe Land Yacht" items: two 7 gallon propane bottles, 
automatic switchover regulator, TV jack, deluxe central control panel, 
Astrodome vent, Univolt ceiling exhaust fan, range exhaust fan, two sink 
covers with cutting boards, deluxe plumbing hardware, water purifier, 
bedroom wall comfort covers, deluxe hub caps, and luxurious deep-pile 
[dirt catching and water retaining] Herculon carpeting in all areas 
including the bathroom.
