Trivia Question (posted 3-28-10)

[Sunline Fan]

Sometime around 2004, Sunline created a custom coach for the American Lung Association of Connecticut to use as a traveling info center for smoking awareness.

- What is the name of this coach/program?
- What Sunline floorplan was this based off of?

Well I found this much

The coach was used as part of this program that traveled to schools. The rest of the link was a dead end as it was removed.

BREATHE EASY The Breath Express, a Sunline Coach Company trailer

Do I get partial credit?

[Sunline Fan]

YES!!!

You absolutely get partial credit!

While it did primarily travel to schools, it did go to other functions as well such as public libraries for public displays. After searching Google for Breath Express for a long time, there are numerous reports of everywhere it has been, a few with pictures.

BTW, there do appear to be two Breath Express coaches. The other one looks like some early '90's motorhome decorated very similarly.

OK for more bonus points, here is a pic of it.

I can tell it seems to be on a 10K chassis. Since you said it was a 2004, well that leaves 4 floor plans T310SR, T320SR, T317SR and a T330SR.

IF they left the entry door in the original Sunline spot, and AC and roof vents, that eliminates the T317SR and the T330SR, leaving the T310SR and the T320SR.

Now it's a toss up. A better picture sure would help. But here goes. The T320SR is longer and has a rear bath which can kind of cross section off that area. The bed room could of been an office. And if they used the original awning layout that would rule out the T310SR as the awning almost on top of the left side of the front door where the T320SR is a little more foward.

So my wild guess is a T320SR.

Well, am I close?

John

[Sunline Fan]

Yes, that is it! I found that pic too, I see they've put new graphics on the side from what they originally had. It's more of a full body wrap now.

Your guess is incorrect.

I don't know the actual year, and I consulted with Carl as well. He couldn't remember exactly, he thought around 1999/2000, but I know that wasn't the case since it has the gold aluminum on the bottom. My guess is built between 2003 and 2005 (so 2004-2005 model year) because of the aluminum and the fact that the front isn't so angled back as it was in '02-'03.

I'll give you a few hints, based on the mods Carl says it has:

- Full wall front video/audio center for interactive electronic screen displays.
- Movable wall panels inside for displaying information (OK, I guess this isn't much help...)
- It may have had a bathroom too, but if so it would have just been a toilet.

OK changing the guess to T310SR.

Is it at least on a 10,000# chassis and did they move the doors? If they moved the doors, well it is a free for all from that one pic

The front wall top angle looks more 2003 then 2004. My 2004 has more top angle.

[Sunline Fan]

Nope, not a 310...

[kanyonkitty]

OK, I'll take a wild guess, an '04 317SR

Kitty

[Sunline Fan]

Nope...

I'll give another hint...the model was new for the 2003 model year.

Jon

[JohnB]

I too thought the T317SR with the sliding wall deal but the door are not in the right place. Unless they moved the doors.

OK Sunline Fan need some better hints??

[Sunline Fan]

I think we were typing at the same time. See the previous post.

I don't believe the doors were moved.

Yeah, I guess the wall hint wasn't the best, as it could get confusing. The way I understand it is these walls weren't attached to sidewalls anywhere, but I don't know for sure.

Anyone out east ever seen this thing?

Jon

[kanyonkitty]

The only NEW units listed in the '03 brochure are the 2499 & the 310SR. HUM ?

[Sunline Fan]

It is an unwritten "new"...

Gee, some hints.... What about is it on a 10,000# chassis? That at least rules out all the 8600# models.

The only one we have not guessed in 2004 is the T330SR. But the doors are not right

Opps after a recheck, the T299SR has the right doors and is a 10K GVWR. Is it a T299SR? or at least the shell of one. After standing in Kitty's and Gary's parts camper those hints might just work in that layout.

Well, is it?
