Michael, It accpording o the vin is coach 5 that year, confirmed by Newell. Unfortunately Newell has very little information on the coach other than who purchased it, his loan info and his 14 percent interest rate.....YIKES!
No prints exist and it was refitted by Pantera coach in 2008. Now comes the fun of updating systems and adding heat, (yes they removed one funace and disabled the other) . Going hydronic. Have a schoolastic Diesel Webasto to do dash and bays and going to do an Alde Radiant system on propane and tie them together w heat exchangers to use engine heat for h2o as well as engine preheat. New Genny is also required as the perkins has massive blow by. Looking for a good 2 stroke mechanic to fix the 6v92 leaks as my local diesel guy is retiring this month. I am also thinking of regearing to 3.70 rear end to get better highway cruise speeds. Just drove her From Oroville Wa. border to Maine!
