Mid entry U320, how many?

I've got a 1997 36' U320 with mid entry.  I've never come across another one, does anyone know how many they made?

I have the 40' of the same coach.  Does the 36' have enough space for you?  We realiy like the WTBI floor plan. But I could be crazy enough to trade for the identical coach in 36'

The 40 is a full timers floor pan and coach.  What motor is in yours?


I think another 36 is in Canada.

My coach has the M11 450HP Cummins.  I love the 36' length.  I bought a Prevost H3-40 because I always wanted one and was going to replace my FT, but after a couple of 500 mile trips I decided I much preferred driving my 28,000 lbs. Foretravel to the 52,000 lbs. Prevost,  so I sold it.  The FT seemed like a Ferrari compared to the Prevost that drives like a Rolls. 
 Room is not an issue for me since I road race cars and only use my motorhome at the track to change into my suit, eat meals and get out of the elements.  I've never used my bathroom, shower or cooked anything in the 5 years I've owned it.  I did, however, sleep in it once for about 4 hours!

I have a 98 295 mid-entry.  I talked to James and he said only 4 mid-entrys were made in 98.  two 295's and two 320's.  one each of 36' and 40'.  I dont know about other years but it is a rare bird.  Norm

There are GV that were mid entry in the later years. Still not too common but they were all mid entry. IT is the the U models that are very rare but they are out there but usually in 40 foot. In the North Atlantic Rally I was at this summer there were two mid entry coaches out of the 9 that were there.  One was a 36 and one was a 40. The 36 was a 2000 with one slide the 40 was a late 90s none slide model.

  I posed similar question a while back concerning the 2000-20003 GV 320's

Barry Beam informed that approx 23 GVs were built during this time frame, which of course were all mid entry units.   

  I've never seen another mid entry 320 in person, although I know from various sites online that they do exist :) .    Heck,  I've only seen 4 other fourtravels on the road in the last year.

  Having a rare RV brand, then owning one of 23 or so pushes all my buttons for pride of ownership.

If we ever move up... and it's a big "if"... it would be to a later model mid-entry; probably a GV.  The photos we've seen (although one was allegedly here in town according to the photo on craigslist) are really impressive.
