I don't believe that one is an 85. During those years, typically, the interiors were a laminate on flakeboard...a problem which developed later. The interior of yours is a mix of Ash plywood and fir plywood....at least it appears to be from the photos.
Nice clean interior, an 8 footer "with" a stove/oven....or "without" but to be replaced maybe
The registration serial numbers were typically on a plate at the rear drivers side but there were several builders and they may have placed it somewhere else on yours. Builders were usually required to have it in an exposed area for ease of inspection by state officials. Some states required them to be licensed with separate plates

Ripperj, I agree with Rusty.....it looks more like early 70's. Mine is a 74 and looks much like yours, same floor plan too. My serial number plate was unreadable but I found the number had also been stamped into the drivers side rear corner brace. Difficult to see in my picture, but it is there. It may have been stamped by a previous owner......so don't be surprised if you don't find it on yours. If you do find a number, 2nd and 3rd digits are the year built. As I said, mine is a 74, the seller thought it was a 67.
Nice looking camper!!!!!!!

could be someone had some remaining ash ply and decided to use it...you're lucky...BTW...!6k is a giant furnace for that camper....I don't even have a heater...camping in the rain is no problemo but in the snow it starts getting a bit chilly...

Ripperj, nice find. I have a 77 with the flake board interior. Yours looks much nicer. What sort of heater does yours have now. I have also considered a larger unit but looks like a newer Hydro Flame would not work without some cabinet mods. Also I like the look of the angle braces you have in the corner by the dinette. were those stock or added. I have been trying to find something like that but Lowes/ Homedepot has nothing like it. Good to brace the edges there if you use tie downs in the corners.
