I am new to this Forum, this is my first post.
I am preparing to drive from Nashville, TN to Ft. Meyers to look at a 1994 FGV U280 36', with the intent to purchase. It is currently being offered for sale by Crest Auto Wholesalers of SW Florida. This was previously owned by Mr. Alan Classon of Cape Coral, FL.
Does anyone know anything about this coach or Mr. Classon, and if so please contact me, Henry, at 615-714-3569, (my cell phone). I would like to get a better understanding of the maintenance history and any issues related to this unit.
Buying through a wholesaler, rather form a private individual or even an RV dealer, is a bit risky, hence this desperate plea for help.
Thank you
If you post a link to the ad or pictures, perhaps we can assist with some comments.
Rzrbrn, Could you get any identifying numbers from this coach, Coach build number or Vin Number, also I am just North of Fort Myers, about 30 miles, in Charlotte Harbor and would be willing to take a look at this coach before you invest travel time and money... GRV ^.^d
Gerry,
This may be the coach that David Bouchard and I looked at for Chris Eaton a few weeks ago. If it's the same coach, I posted my thoughts on the Forum a few weeks ago.
I've sent a PM to RzrBrn and haven't heard back yet.

Pre-purchase inspection in Ft. Myers (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=30025.0)
Thanks to all.
The post on RVTrader has been taken down by seller, and I did not save any pics, sorry.
Model #: 94452136WTBIU280WE17
Blue decals
Cummins 5.9L, Allison 6, Possibly has a retader, has 10KW diesel gen, well worn on the inside.
Just did a car fax
First service @ 46K miles, 2nd service 49K miles, no further service showing on the carfax. Reg renewed abt every year up to 2012 then no further renewals.
I recall it has about 103K miles noted in the add (can't really remember, did not expect the add to be taken down so soon)
Seller having some personal issues, so he took the add off because he did not want to respond to any further inquires.
I sincerely appreciate the offer to go look at it but I really do not want to impose on you Gerry,
Looks like the vin # did not make it through, so here it is
Vin#: 1F97D5366RN054843
Click on the link that Neal posted. Very thourogh inspection if it's the same coach.
I read Neal's Inspection. Pretty certain this is the same coach. This coach is too far gone for my skill level. I will not be going to look at the coach. I thank each and everyone of you for your incredible response and generosity with your time.
The search goes on....
