As an owner of a 86 sunland, I can tell you that it definitely has an aluminum skeleton with luan paneling sandwiching the frame. I just replaced the exhaust manifold and now she sounds great and feels a whole lot better. I picked the rig up near Gary, IN. and drove her all the way back to New Orleans with almost no problems.
Had a issue with the alternator slipping causing the belts to squeal non stop for a few miles. 15mins at autozone and a new bolt later and that was all taken care of.
most of my water damage is relegated to the outside panels leaving the interior looking pretty dry with no mold smell. I’m currently in the gutting process right now, but since I’m still outta work I have to pick my battles and wait to do any real interior design.

I did drive a "carburetorated" dolphin down to Acapulco Mexico once and averaged 15mpg loaded with tools etc..except for in the mountains of course....either way, my last 31 footer averaged 7mpg so I'll still be happy as hell ,,,,specially during this bidenomics bullshittttt...I'll keep every one posted as I' always checking out mpg with everything I drive...
