New'ish GV320 owner...

Time for an introduction, before I start asking questions or adding my 2 cents:

I've been poking around this board for 6 or 7 months now...

Enjoy and appreciate all that this Forum has to offer...absolutely awesome resource!

Anyone that has frequented the RV.NET boards may know me from there as SuperDutyFiver...started camping as a kid in the 70's, then slowly moving thru the RV ranks most recently in a Carriage 5th wheel...Parents have had a Monaco Coach for the last 20 years so I've seen and been around a lot of RV's through the years.

Definitely hope to learn from you all and share any knowledge, experience, and/or expertise that I can.

So, I picked up this new to me 2000 GV320 this winter and have been slowly exploring what it's made of, how everything works, and performing maintenance on it all.

Welcome! That's a good-looking coach.

I suspect that you already know most of the answers to the common questions, so be sure to help the newbies here. Ask your questions, too. This is a good place to learn more than what the manuals tell you.

One suggestion: find the notebook(s) with your manuals in it and make sure that it is up-to-date. When you replace something take out the old manual and put in the new one. That will make life much easier for you later on.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of good people here and they have traveled the same paths as you will. The Search function on the top right of the page is very helpful. Good looking coach. I see it has a slide. They are a great 20 year old coach. They really have a lot of different systems and although similar to the Monaco are different. Take and make a list and put the mechanical stuff at the top. Routine maintenance, tires. Bags filter all has a service life and they are at the end of there life unless they have been already changed. Generator end bearing too.
