Well congratulations!!! I personally really like what you have chosen.
 My only concern for all of us is the future of the price of fuel to use. Fuel is forecasted to either double plus or be halved in price.

Congratulations, I still remember the time we met you out there in August and we had our 03 and you had your 03. Now we have a 97 and no slide. It certainly makes for a lot less stress.

Currently ensconced at Keith's for a little preventative steering box R&R while we are in Chalk's territory (boy, has Nac changed in 8 years!), we are the proud new owners of a 2000 U320 36' no slide coach.

Let the projects begin!

I don't know what part of this is best! Getting the coach that you really want or keeping a classic in service. Best of luck and enjoy!

Not a chance!  This is our first night truly RV-ing in it (vs. sleeping in it at night and vacating in the day so techs could work on it) and it fits like a glove.

Huge shout out to Keith Risch and his crew for fitting us in for the things noted on inspection and a couple of unanticipated things.  Those guys and gal went above and beyond this week.  Note for others - stuffed crust and don't forget the sliced jalapenos like I did.  A very special thank you to Virginia for her exemplary efforts getting back from Chalk's in crazy traffic.

Also a thank-you to Eric Barnes at MOT and especially the tech whose name I didn't get who did a "lot call" to help us properly adjust the SMI Stay-n-Play Duo tow brake in our toad.  That was an unanticipated bump in the road discovered after we'd left Keith's in separate vehicles and then went to hook up to tow after getting a quote from MOT for a Splendide installation.  Sensitivity for an LTV as the tow vehicle was apparently much different than for a Foretravel (and yes, we have our prior AF1 that we expect to swap back in for the Stay-n-Play).

Got ourselves penciled on the schedule at Xtreme for some enhancements early next year.

Thanks - we try to be efficient in all of our shopping trips  ^.^d

I'll try to upload some of the sellers' interior photos next week after we get home.  As for exterior, picture a decal-free all-white 2000 U320 with one of the very early Xtreme headlight conversions.  Seller removed the decals and had the exterior gel coat polished.  We're going to have the headlights redone in the most current version as well as fogs, tail lights, etc.

Our 270 is badged on the front as Xtreme U270. It has headlight conversion, painted on stripes and the lift up engine door has been replaced with the double opening doors. No more heavy lifting that engine door. I think I like that the best.

Wow that is great news. I loved my 36 foot non slide.
in fact if I had not traded I probably would still have it.

I would love to see some pictures of the engine door :-)

We spoke with Greg about the engine door conversion - they no longer do the full-height split version.  Their current offering has the upper piece hinged to lift up, lower piece is pinned and can be lifted out if needed.

I really like ours and I will try to send a picture. We don't have very good internet now. We are in a COE campground for a few more days.
