Re: Couple questions on 1997 U320 I looked at
Reply #9 –
The midland-grau ABS systems failed on a lot of these age coaches. Brakes work fine. One of my 97's wheel sensors does not function correctly. Parts not available. Three wheel ABS.
The D2 controller is probably oil soaked. Controls the air pressure. Inexpensive part.
The rust jacking is potentially a more involved issue.
97 40' u320 non slide has the most inside and outside storage of almost any coach. Why? No slide. No tag axle.
A 45' may have as much but I doubt it.
The 97 u320 40' has enough air pressure in its air bags just to hold up its weight that it hardly leans on turns and is very resistant to truck induced wind effects. It also is very stable parked and air leveled so walking around inside does not cause the coach to detectively move. Little wind motion parked. Little wind induced course alterations due to the 276" wheel base.
Kitchen is on the drivers side. Dinette is on the passenger side looking out at your camp sight.
When looking at coaches note how much body shell movement is evident when you grab the exterior entry handle and walk up into the coach. The amount of movement will be directly proportional to the ride and handling effects I posted.
I would look very close at the 97 for the above reasons, aqua hot function ok?
If I could buy it cheap enough the rust jacking is fixable.
I was a Foretravel sales manager long ago in another life and was very technically inclined hence my comments here.
I went through my 97 and in use and driving it's one of the finest rv's ever made. But maybe not for the faint of wallet.
These are 27 years old. Most systems will need massaging. Results were worth it in my case as I was able to end up with a similar drive and use as the original owner did for $300k plus.

If I could steal it I would do it again. Maybe
