We need an engine access swing out door for our coach. Any GV door should fit. Anyone have the contact info without having to register for the site?

Could this be Jack & Emily Eisenman's '92 U225 that recently burned?

If someone had the room, that could be a money maker for parts/restoration!

I just looked on Tampa Craigslist and it is now listed for $100.00 dollars and it is a u225. I have too many projects now or else I would get it and part it out.

Here is the coach.  Looks great on the outside.  Fire damage on the inside.

Would not take long to re-cover your $100.

Dang!  I would JUMP on that!  Why don't opportunities like that show up close to our house!  The Hadleys alone would probably fetch 100 bucks.  And those Isuzu tail lights are practically unobtainable.  Pierce would love to have the louvered engine hatch (if it is the same size as his U300)  :'(

One of those 6 lug wheels alone will re coop your investment as they are hard to come up with also.

Dang, passengers side mirror is already gone. Still a bunch of salvage value in this one. Too bad it's in Florida.

If it was a U-240, I'd be on it like a cheap suit.  ^.^d

Maybe. I should have heard from the scout by now.

I would be glad to throw in $200 toward the purchase for the engine access door.

My heart skipped a beat when I read the title of this post. But no, it's not ours, VIN doesn't match.
We have settled with State Farm and ours is apparently still in Fort Pierce, FL.

Looks like someone got it and has raised the price to $3000. Some new pictures of the damage in the updated listing. Also supposedly being moved to Atlanta.

Wow! A "kissin' cousin" of ours, right down to the stripe colors. Has anyone heard, is it a forum member that bought her? Looks like the fridge let go.  :(  :(  :(

The fridge started the fire. Damage outside around the fridge, damage inside around the fridge. They always burn. Nearly every rv fire I have seen is the ammonia fridge. Mine stays off and all my food stays inside my Engel 12v compressor fridge.

Wow, this is sad. The photos break my heart. It was bad enough to see ours burned on the outside, but to see the inside destroyed  :'(
