Here is an updated chart.

Still need more numbers after 2003.

It appears that production rate of 2003 coaches was higher than any previous year model.

I think 1999 was the highest at around 204 vs approx 177 for 2003

This message is for Tom Lang and Jimmyjnr, and anyone that has posted a photo of your complete builders plate, you have given enough information to anyone that looks at this web site to print a title to your coach, you have supplied them with the vin  number, that is all they need to get a title loan on your coach. This is just a heads up.

Thanks, I took the photo down.

So, what's to keep a crook from reading the vin by looking through the windshield on any car and reading the plate on the dash?

Just for fun, I went to cars.com, picked just about any used car and the VIN number is in its details.

Steve just did the same thing on CarMax.com (he chose the $60K Corvette...  oh, and now the $97K Porsche hmmm, midlife crisis?  I was looking at towable CR-Vs ;-) )

Seems getting a VIN number is extremely easy.

Wow, I just came across this chart. Bascially, from 2007 to 2015 FT has made almost as many coaches as they did per year in late 90's and early 2000's. How is this a recipe for survival?

It is an issue but they use other numbers for the command coaches so we can add in 12. Who knows how many realms they will sell. I hope they sell a bunch.

Just ran across this year/build# data base. My 2002 U320 was build number 6052. Not sure how much current interest or utility these data are to others but here is one more data point.
