Most miles

What are the most miles you have seen or heard of on a FT motorcoach. I realize every coach is individual to the owners maintenance schedule but curious as to how far they can go with TLC.

Pedalman,
When I bought my coach two years ago in Nac we met a couple that had over 300K on their 1998 U320.  They drove all those miles themselves, as they bought the coach new.  The coach looked great.  I forgot the couples name as we had just purchased ours and where just too excited.  They did tell me to check to see if the block heater was plugged into the outlet as they drove a few years just turning the switch on and seeing the light on, but the heater was not plugged into the outlet.  I checked my coach and sure enough it was not plugged in, a little hard to believe since my coach was so old...but maybe so.

Thanks,
Brad

I saw a hard used 99 270 with 471K on it a few years ago.  I have put on almost 300K on three different Foretravels. This one that I have now though, will have the most miles on it when I trade it off I think.
