Nope, certainly not a U240.  240's were not even made for a  couple years after that.

And, certainly not a GV320 as the ad says.

Knowing what engine it has, side vs rear radiator and chassis would tell us a lot.

This could be a bargain, or it (very likely) could be a MONEY PIT.

In fact, in a conversation this morning with a new buyer (not about this coach) I shared with him that I have looked at some that if you got them for free, you would have too much money in them fixed up. Initial price is just ONE FACTOR.  As an example on this 1989, if it just needs tires and batteries in addition to the items he said were not working, the cost would be close to the asking price!

My first question... is he stater he bought it from an rv mechanic. You know the mechanic got a good deal. So, why did the mechanic sell it??? And trading a foretravel for a 5th wheel... really? What's wrong with the engine in that rv??

This coach has the 8.2 Detroit diesel which does not make it a bad coach, but that is what it has.
