OK guys, here's my TZE number. TZE064V100225

I'm hoping someone knows how to figure out who owned this thing before me so I can ask some questions about some of the changes and upgrades, especially the leveling system. Some of you may have read my previous post and the thread. What I have looks well constructed but very confusing. Thanks again in advance for the help.

There have been at least two PO's. I contacted the last one from the name on the old registration but he only had it for less than a year and did nothing with it. He did not know the PO before him.

I wish I could help you. Our coach came with all paperwork going back almost 20 years, when the coach was used as a chicken coop just outside of Dallas somewhere. We were able to trace everything back and I had some great email conversations with the two major owners of our coach. The guy I got it from, in Pflugerville, did not know much, owning it only a year or so. He was proned to be a little misleading so I did not wish to speak with him after he got my money.
Maybe there is some paperwork in the coach somewhere. Most club members tend to keep all receipts and stuff. When the next owner gets our coach he will know everything back to about 1985, when it was pulled from the chicken yard. To verify the story, we found chicken feathers on top of the drivers wheel well, rear, when we tore out the kitchen. Keep good records. That was the reason I bought our coach back in 04.

John doesn't release that kind of information. It would contradict the privacy policy of the registry.

That,in the past at least, has been true if you do not own the TZE in question. After I bought my GMC, David Greenberg, told me the name of the previous owner listed in the registry.
