Here are some interesting milestones that I have recorded. These are the closest I have been able to document.
First AquaHot was around coach #353, a 1994
First bath & 1/2 floorplan was around coach #423, a 1996
First single slide was around coach #436, a 1996
First 2 slide coach was around coach #462, a 1997
First coach with the 2000 model "smiley face" nose was on the last 1999 model built, coach #538
First 46' coach was around coach #596, a 2001 model
Coach #606 was about the first coach built with the front entry door and 46'8" long. It was a 2001 model
Coach #653 may have been the first coach with the CAT C-12 engine. It was a 2003 model.
As Michael said Coach #671 was interesting. Built in 2003 with the first steerable tag and ZF suspension. It was given to Karl Blade to test the new features. It was first registered and sold as a 2004 model so its number is out of order.
