Thought that was an unusual number of FT for sale in such a small radius.. Anyway Jimmy has a post on classifieds describing what he's looking for.

FWIW, we're at the city park in Ellis, KS for the next several weeks. While the main purpose is to assist family members, there will be plenty of time for other visitors.

seen a GV in a back yard west of Wichita, circled around and went down the street.  This is what I found.  could not see much of the GV from the street but the next door neighbor had a 320

Phred, on a per capita basis for the population of the area, that could be a record number. At the very least, it is a substantial number of the ones from Ks.

Are you kidding, was on the job yesterday heading for another meeting, so no time to stop and knock on the door. The 320 looked like it was ready to roll.

I can confirm this. Its a buddy of mine that introduced me and his neighbors to Foretravel. I found another on Douglas Street in Wichita that looks like an ORED and has been sitting for a while too. The 86-87 GV was for sale and looks like its been moved.

 You have Aquahot in a 93 vintage coach ?  How did that happen.  I wasn't aware of any GVs with that system.

While I was working for Foretravel in Tampa there was a gentleman from New York City that ordered a U280 with aqua hot. It was probably about a 93. His name was Peter Devito if I remember correctly.
