We are at the Mountain View RV Park/Resort in Creede, CO and there are at least 2 other early to mid 2000 U-320's in the park side and a stunning IH-45 in the resort side.  I keep hoping to meet some the owners while out walking the pups, but no luck so far.

Two other observations, first this is a popular spot for folks from Texas (probably 75%+ of the slots have Texas tagged vehicles) and second you aren't one of the cool kids if you don't have a RAZR!

Saw an all white GV with a Toad south bound on I-5, near Arlington, WA on Monday 8/25. . Nice looking coach. I was headed north from Seattle going home to Lopez Island, not in my coach.

Met Michael and Susan today at rest stop south of Cody Wyoming. They are from Ashland Oregon in a 2001 U270 with their service dog Shawna. I told them to post some of the neat changes to coach they have done.
Hope they come visit us in BC next year.

One change was a very good idea for up front TV change allowing it to drop out of original box by way of actuator and using the front of cabinet as a book shelf etc

Saw a GV headed east on I80 today in Iowa, around MM 296. We laid on the horns but really didn't see them till last minute due to traffic.

I didn't measure it but it is a couple inches narrower than the original tv box. Tv fastened with ply strips fastened to couple of slides which are also fastened to the inside of the box did not look at the actuator. Michael will give info in fact he has a cad drawing of it. Pm him
