This style coach is almost identical to a bus style U 320. They all have the mid-entry door. This entry moves the passenger  seat closer to the windshield. Some like this, others do not. They are still great coaches.

I saw this coach at FOT early in the year when we had so much fun with the air dryer.
The paint job doesn't look like either Extreme or FOT. Not just the colors.....

Definitely keeping an eye on this coach as we approach our late May trip to TX. Also on watch list is the 2006 34ft triple slide at FT.
This getting exciting to finally make a move and get on the road.

I visited the 2006 34' triple slide a couple of days ago. I liked the interior. There is almost no storage room in the basement. The only storage bay is about 48" wide and maybe 48" to 72" deep. All the other bays are filled with mechanical, electrical, water, and Hydro-Hot equipment. Overhead storage inside is limited because of all the slides. Be aware of the balances among features, e.g., floor space versus storage space. Different folk have different tastes and requirements.

The 2000 GV looks good in the pictures. The $20,000 to come up to "market" would allow one to do some renewal of the interior. We bought our first coach from PPL. We were pleased with the experience. We learned enough from the SOB in eight months to upgrade to a Foretravel of the same model year. The Foretravel has served us well for almost five years.

I enjoy looking at coaches. I enjoy having a functional coach with no mortgage on it.  ;D

I know the paint was not done in NAC. As I recall it was done in Colorado but it is definitely not Xtreme or FOT.

Just wondering, which tranny would this have, the 3000 or 4000 series. Since it is a GV would it be different than a standard 320 w/4060 tranny. I might also be wrong, but the comments sound like it isn't as impressive as the pictures might show???????

If the house sells this weekend (just wishing), I could be in Houston in 10 hrs. :))

After looking @ Barry's site, in 2001 the GV used a 4000 tranny. Would assume similar to the 2000.

Good Morning!  Looked at this coach yesterday at PPL.  If anyone is considering a trip to Houston on this one, shoot me a PM and I will provide additional details.

Take care.

PPL sells them fast---- it probably won't be there long if it has been restored to decent condition.

This is a nice looking unit,But does it have a oven? A stove? I don't see any kind of kitchen appliances. I guess people eat out. :o

we will see what PPL is willing (and owner) to do as I sent them a cash "as-is" offer this morning but as they have not replied to my previous emails I guess they will not respond to my last one either.

Would this one have the front pull out 10 or 12k gen?

Is the tv mounted behind the co-pilot or near the windshield?

Generally, U320's w/2 AC's have the 10KW.  Only 42' U320's w/3AC's have the 12 KW.

Generally, again, post '95 era GV's have the TV above and slightly behind the co-pilot's chair.  GV's also lose the storage above the windshield.

Haven't seen the coach, but would anticipate the above (and that's what it looks like in the PPL pictures).

It would have to be a 4000 series transmission with that ISM engine.
A 3000 series transmission could handle the torque of an ISM.

I ment to say a 3000 series transmission couldn't handle the torque of an ISM.
