Doesn't say which model it is. Somehow I suspect the 32,000 GVWR isn't quite correct. If I remember what I think I've been told, this is more likely a U240 or U270 rather than a U280 or U300 (what we're actually interested in).

I also wonder about the wall being replaced. What does that mean?

Foretravel rated my '89 36' GV at GVWR=20,500#

Oshkosh Truck plate states total combined weight not to exceed 22,500#

So, 26,500# most likely correct.

That is a lot of motor home for $15,000!!!  Apparently no engine access through the bedroom. Did these have side radiators?

Yes bed should lift up. The 300hp had a side radiator.
