Does anyone know if DMV goes by the AS VIN or the chassis VIN...I can't remember which they used but thought both were listed on my title.
If the AS VIN is used for registration...theoretically, a slight adjustment to the last several digits of a VIN could lead us to the result of how many AS were made in a particular year. Does anyone have access to CARFAX?...
Your VIN and mine (5181) are pretty close. Our units might have been on the assembly line at the same time. Interesting to see some of the features in your MH. Mine is a few feet shorter than yours, but I'm curious if what similarities there are anyways. Show us some pics when you get a chance.
Hope you enjoy the forums and get a chance to join us in a Forum Rally sometime. Again, welcome.
Yes, that is very close! It will be interesting to see the list grow!
My unit is pretty much standard like all the others. It's 28ft long, center bath,
with rear twins. I will try to post some pictures soon. I plan on attending a rally someday.

I tried posting to the forum about the MH I'm looking at and it got lost in cyberspace. I'm still debating the buy, I can afford it but won't have a ready repair fund for it if I do and I'm not sure just how risky that is.
Off list, I would love to know why people love this motorhome. Where they have taken them-I couldn't really tell with clearance where all you could go in one. If boondocking, how long can you keep one out? Has anyone tried fulltiming in one-if so how many people and how did you handle the small space over time?
Wow! The 24 Ft MH on ebay looks to be very much complete and original. Very nice. Heres's the link: e-bay -1979 24 ft AS MH
Thanks for the Heads Up RichardT.
Well just to throw a wrench into it all try this number....
My 1984 was built by the "commercial division" and has the following A/S #
28EJ034214.
The 214 fits in the year range between two units listed but what of the 034 ahead of it?

My '83 310 was built in '82. It is a rear walk round double bed with bathroom on the drivers side and shower on the door side. Its fitted with the Ice maker, (and some very questionable wiring!)
Numbers for your interest with interpretation as I could find below.
Originally sold to Evelyn Harris , Shreveport LA on 24/11/'82 then to Mr. D. Bethal some time mid 80's, then to CA Poche 1997 and finaly to RM Bartko some time 2004, all the latter from TX. I am still hoping to find out more history. (there may be more PO's?)
