A psychologist long ago mentioned that the walnut interior coach she was looking(foretravel)at must have been built in a sun belt state.  More hours of daylight.  Duh.  Good one.

Alot of more Northern made coaches started out with lighter wood interiors and wall paper versus walnut paneling. 

Interesting..perhaps that is why I like lighter interiors. I need the brightness to make up for long dark winters! :D

Yes, there are a few owners of these fine machines that do not take care of them. Run from this one, especially at this price. THere are nice ones out there. $45,000 will get you into a bus style 36' U-270 1995 - 1999

Interiors are very nice in those years but I am a fan of the retro MH, rather than the bus shape. But, you are correct, $45,000 would make more sense in buying 1995 to 1999, and not a heavily used 1994 U280, as this one was.

I sure like my 96 but if I saw a GV (sloped front) that was in comparable condition for less, then I would certainly consider that one too. There are some advantages to the older one besides the cost (taking food to galley area).  From what you say about that one, I probably would feel the same (and walk away).  I feel certain that it could be repaired but at what cost (time and money).
