The 365 tire conversion is just wheels and tires on those the DO NOT have the ZF suspension (through coach 696 except #671, 681, and 685). Those 3 coaches plus coach #697-775 require wheels tires wheel hubs and fender modifications. Coaches #776 (2006) - 1229 (2008) also require body modifications.
Your 2003-2006 range would include coaches #640-786.

Thank you, Michael, for the 365 tire upgrade coach data. That upgrade is an item that I've been monitoring as I track coaches for sale. I appreciate Reese bringing this issue to the table...probably not a deal breaker, but a strong preference, indeed.
Tom, thanks for the offer to visit. Next time we're in AZ, I hope to either have a coach or be on our way to buy one, so I'll surely reach out, if possible. :-)

BobALou,
When you find THE coach ask the seller/dealer to show you the service records for the coach. Take your time reviewing the records and ask questions if necessary. Make sure as the new owner that you take possession of those records. Just a thought.
The used Newell that we purchased came with all of the service records and the original build sheet.
