Anyone recall what might set this coach apart from the rest of the 04 Magna's? I searched for a brochure, but with only 30 made for the 30th Anniversary - perhaps they did not produce separate brochure?

After online looking at one for sale for my friend moving into retirement, I had these questions:
-Was the flat floor slide universal for the Magna line?
-Confirm C15's were available for the full Magna line in 04, with C12's also available - but no C13's?
-Mechanically everything else on the 30th Anniversary were stock 04 Magna's?
-Unique paint schemes, and I was told by one CC tech that they added a few more layers of clear coat(?) vs stock 04 Magna's.
-Stainless Steel Trim
-Unique higher quality (Not that Magna's did not have high end carpets to start with!) carpets.
-Fabric choices were different, but believe the interior layout was not unique to the 30th?
- Granite was used?

One question my buddy is asking me. Is this coach unique enough to have problems with maintenance and parts sourcing? (I told him 'No.', but wanted to ask.

And I also told him I thought the 04 and before Magna's and Affinities are some of the best coaches CC ever built.

Any opinions, info sharing, etc. - appreciated. (He's a gent I worked with in Aerospace, and his 'handshake good bye' is coming quick. His house closes escrow in 21 days, and he's excited about the next phase!!!

Best to all, and TIA,

We had #13, 04 Magna Bob Lee Edition
Was a very nice Coach - 3 years ago we drove from Minnesota to Alaska and most of the way back before the engine compartment caught fire and within 1 hour the only thing left was the frame

Bummer about the fire - sorry!!

How did the 04 compare to your 06, and what model is it?

We put one of the phone fire extinguisher systems in our engine compartment that we got from Mac the fire guy. I believe that it's about a 12 pound cylinder that would automatically activate if a certain temperature was reached.
