Wasnt really looking for a coach but ran across a deal on this one that i couldnt pass up. I have learned so much about the coach from this site. Im still working on finding the coach #. Im sure i will have alot more question as time goes on. Thanks Aaron
Welcome Aaron.
There appear to have been 25 coaches built in the 1988 model year. The last three digits of the VIN is the sequence number (001-025). I am still trying to get enough data to definitively be able to convert pre-1990 models year and sequence numbers to coach numbers but I have data that is conflicting and I don't have enough data points to have a reasonable level of confidence. At this point it appears that the coach numbers for 1988 ran from 158-182. There are typically coach build numbers on the rear of the panels over the windows covering the lights and numbers at times on the inside of the engine compartment doors. The Newell floorplans typically have the Coach Number on them as well as the VIN. Good luck in finding your coach number. If we can help, let us know.
