If it is for real, looks like an incredible deal! However the last picture in the add isn't the same coach or even a foretravel...

Looks to be a pretty good deal for someone who's looking?

Ha, you're right. Didn't even notice that! I normally assume they're real when they list a phone number, not always the case tho. I did a google search on the number and it looked legit for the area, etc. Worth a call from someone if they're interested.

Crazy setup, the dash looks like the 01, but the decals were not used on the 01, the 2000 was the last for decals. Loved the no slide until found it was not the 320, must be the 270 ?

OK, I, who must be slow of mind and eye, need some explanation. I don't see inconsistencies. The last picture I see is the galley that looks very much like a FT to me. It appears to be Corian and walnut. All of the woodwork looks like FT to me. The galley looks very much like the galley in our 1997 U295. All of the pictures look like a FT to me. What makes it not look like a FT?

I thought the U270 used oak cabinetry. It looks like it might be U295. There appears to be an air intake grill under the refrigerator. The register on the base under the toilet looks like one for a propane furnace system. The brochure at beamalarm.com lists the 2001 coaches as having gelcoat exterior with painted graphics. That is consistent with what I see in the pictures. The 2001 floor plans show layouts with slides and also without slides.

The price would be very good for that model year. What makes the ad look suspicious?

JD, I alsol do not see the picture giveaway on a SOB, However the outside graphics sure look like decals, not painted,
Maybe they used the decals on the early run models? I have no clue, My 01 had painted graphics, now it is a full painted non FT,  looks like an Xtreme

LOL! They removed the SOB picture from the add... It was the last picture and showed a coach that had a slide.

Dave, graphics on our 1997 are painted. Looks just like vinyl to me. I thought it was vinyl until I took the coach to Xtreme for some repairs. James looked at it and said, "We painted that." He didn't have any records and noticed a few minor runs in the clear coat over the paint. He probably painted it at FOT during the repair of a crunched left front suffered by the previous owner. My point is that in a picture, you can't tell the difference between painted graphics and vinyl graphics that are in good condition.

Ah! The mystery of a bogus picture is solved. There was a picture of SOB that was removed from the listing before I looked. I don't feel quite so dumb. :)

When I click on the link I provided, I still get the link with the last pic as an SOB.  Here is what it is/was.
