We are in the process of buying an 08 40MDTS. The Vin # is 17824 which appears to higher than the last one built. It also seems that with that vin, it should have been 09. Make sense?

"08" Alpine
Looking at the vin #, it appears it is actually an 09 and not an 08. The 8th digit is year and that is a 9. That makes the vin make more sense.

Once you get the coach verify the VIN with the tag on the coach, if it is correct I will add 75824 to the list.

Vin # 75776 a 2006 blk/gold in color 40' quad slide is at Camping World in Richmond IN.
This coach's ceiling is a wreck from numerous water leaks. Ceiling vinyl is coming down and the wood above the vinyl has been soaked and is delaminating. Damage is behind the driver, over the kitchen, in the bath area and in the bedroom. There are numerous window and slide leaks.
I could have never imagined a coach in such bad condition.
IMO it is a total, unless the roof and ceiling and walls can be replaced.
Camping World still has it listed.

The only one I find is a 2008, not 2006. The damage must have happened since they took the pictures because they do not show any thing. Maybe that is why they have a 60k mile 2008 coach for $90,000?

Dave, you are correct. It is a 2008. Unfortunately I cannot correct my typo now.

Just looked at the pictures. Definitely not what the coach looks like now. Camping World should man up!

I have just become the owner of a 40 foot, front door, three slide Alpine unit. The paperwork I recieved with the unit calls it a 40FD APEX Vin #
18XF4EM1661175517. My problem is I cannot find any pictures of my unit in any 2006 pictures. A 2005 avalanche looks exactly like what I have???
I would like to check the vin# on the frame but evidently I don't know where to look, there is nothing behind the drivers front wheel. I am hoping someone can steer me to look in the right place.
Thanks in advance
Art

Art, there is a placard inside one of the upper kitchen cabinets that has the VIN and weights.
VIN 75517 has previously been reported as a 2006 FDTS (Front Door, Triple Slide) Avalanche that was for sale in Oregon. The easiest way I know of to determine if is an Avalanche is to look at the cabinets, if they are solid wood you do not have an Avalanche, you have a Limited or an Apex, if they are particle board covered with a veneer you have an Avalanche. I also believe WRV used Power Gear for the leveling and slides on the Avalanche, but I am not sure of that.
