Title: Any info on this 02 3800 U320?
Post by: markb on January 23, 2021, 01:31:49 pm
MoT has had this listed for a while but no pics yet.  I inquired and they said the PO dropped it off after buying it from them four years ago.  The tires are dated 2013 and I see they changed the filters from the pics sent to me.  I'm about 10 hrs away or I'd already looked at it.

Watch for or get more info, particularly how many slides and what flooring.  Per the listing, it isn't a tag axle coach, and if it has a bedroom slide and all ceramic tile it might have a fairly low CCC as a result.

A quick forum search for 2002 38 U320 and a comparison of the weight data plate in the following post vs. MOT's listing shows it to be Ron and Connie S's former coach

also understand the air-operated Zip Dee awning issues if this coach has one

One of the pics showed a pretty good gash inline with the top of the awning like someone had caught it on something while on the move.

I tried to search using the po names but couldn't figure it out.  Usually I can push enough buttons to get something but this one evades me.  I'm guessing he was majority owner, but possibly not first.

Look at the post I linked - over on the left you should see their avatar and you can click on the name.

BTW, looking at their old posts, they bought it in 2007, so if MOT sold this 3 years ago, they are not the current owners.

Thanks Larry.  If you want to give it a quick once over or whatever your time will allow to get an impression of the condition.  It's a 10 hr drive for me or I'd already looked at it.  If I was to do it right I'd meet someone down there and go over it with them, that would be ideal.  What time are you going to be there in case I get a wild hair?

Keith, you might be my wing man.  If I need to go down there the following week and take a serious look, I see you have owned a few.  Thanks for the offer.

Talked to one of the sales guys and he said the coach is getting a lot of work done. Aquahot, gender, etc. Owner is putting in the cash needed to get it road ready. If you want more info, will try to get it
. Let me know.

Thanks Larry.  Wondered why it wasn't displayed on the website yet.  The salesman didn't email me any particulars just sent a few pics.  Appeared to me they were asking top dollar for something that at least needed tires.  Thanks for the info.  No further requests here.  Appreciate ya and owe you one.
