Most of these I have seen, have the one AC unit up front. Does it circulate OK? They are cool rides, no doubt. They look pretty solid to boot. The roll cage is a selling point for me too. I mean, I realize it's not like a racecar roll cage, but with the skin bonded it, I'd think it's pretty stout, isn't it?

For things like radiator replacement/engine replacement, there isn't any fashion of access panel is there? All has to come out through the bottom?

Thanks, I have the guy that can recondition parts- only thing not being produced is brake drums- and mine are really rough.

Still a cool rig- that may need a expensive conversion to something current in brakes.

No spare loot to throw at it now- have to wait till late spring to dive back into it. :)

Don't know if it's of any use to you, but

http://www.firetype.net/images/auto/DavesPlaceM300BrakeInfo.pdf

The info belongs to/come from Dave, whomever he may be. Maybe it will help? Probably not, but thought I'd throw it out there since the site's gone.

I've familiar with some of the parts issues. The site doesn't appear to be active any more, but had you ever visited "Dave's Place" dodge motorhome page? It had a lot of parts cross references. Of course I'm not telling you anything, but it was a handy reference I thought. I did make a point to save some of the brake pages as I was afraid all the info might vanish someday... and apparently that day has already come.

Yes.

Is this an M300 chassis?

Comment by Mike Bell on February 27, 2014 at 3:34pm

I'm having brake problems- and parts are very spendy. Love the layout of the coach, but wouldn;t have purchased it if I knew about non availability of chassis parts.

How are you liking the Glastron? I'm looking for one myself (or a Travco 210).
