I thought that maybe I could learn something from other owners about their rigs. I'll start...
Worst - Hidden dump valves for the grey/black tanks. Hard to get to if they break.
Best - HWH air leveling system with no jacks, transmission retarder. ( had to list 2!)

LOVED the tambour doors on our '93 and '95 coaches.

I can't believe that there is no light switch accessible from the recliner for the PS overhead light in our coach?!?!? We have light switches everywhere else... Hard to believe that no designer ever sat there for a moment and said gee... would be nice to control that light right over my head from this comfy seat without having to get up. I know it is a little thing but when I want to snooze I like a little darkness!

HA HA! Agree with you on the mirror location. Even worse... in mine there's a mirror BEHIND the commode AND in front of the commode so it doesn't matter which direction I face. Scary! :o I will eventually remove the mirror behind the toilet, but then will probably have to get something to cover up where it's been for 12 years - because I'll probably rip the wall some how trying to get it off. Project for another time I guess. Hmmm, press on fake tile sheets come to mind...

I believe J&C are going for the Kwikee series 42 like we did
Xtreme step conversion on our '03 U320 (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=12183.0)
Since that thread was written, we replaced the magnet with a second switch to override the step and keep it retracted when parked (if ground clearance/curbs dictate). Not often needed except when parked in front of the house here.

Well, since we already modded our head/shoulder debilitating TV cabinet and had the step conversion, I would agree with the challenging access to the actual dump valves and the tank sensors as being the current worst design. One shouldn't have to cut sealant and have to remove a faucet, soap dispenser, outlets, etc. and entire bay wall to change out a couple of screw-in sensors and/or bolt-in valves (not to enamored of the tank calibration gymnastics, either). We're curious to see what Parliament may come up with for Moose since Steve is wanting to mod that bay as well.
Best design feature is the chassis - low overall height (at least the "older" years up through our generation), transmission with retarder, outboard-placed airbags that give the coach such excellent road manners.

So they hadn't figured that out even in the U320s huh? I just thought it was my early model U225 (93) that was the reason. Can't even find a decent place to put one unless I "install" it. The co-pilot's side has a spot that works fine, though.

Worst has to be the rear radiator. Open the huge rear grill access door, and look at the monster large radiator. Want to check things, change belts, alternator, pumps, or clean between the charged air and the radiator, you are out of luck. Everything must be done from above, hanging down or laying on top of the engine block. What were they thinking?
Best has to be the wood and tambour doors, and intelligent design of the interiors, storage and features.

Best: It's a Foretravel , who else makes a coach that is 10-15 years old and older still looks and performs great and still has factory support and parts.

LIKES: We particularly like the warmth and elegant feel of the fine woodwork in our Grand Villa. The ride and handling are of course THE BEST. It is one of the few coaches that doesn't rock when you walk around in it. The fact that we have a nearly 20 year old coach with everything working great and with few repairs ain't bad either.
Wishes: We would love to have ducted Air Conditioning, an extra commode and a quieter generator, all of which we can easily live without. Oh, and a real basement we could hide in when there are Tornadoes around.

My rig has folding plastic cup holders for driver and passenger that look vintage so I assumed they were stock. Best is the overall quality, fit and finishes. Worst is propane generator when the motor is diesel tied with the shower/tub combo two feet off the floor with a half-a$$ed step for getting in and out, which, since most of these coaches were (and continue to be) for the octagenarian set, is a broken hip waiting to happen. Understand why the mid walk-through bath became more prominent shortly thereafter.

And the ladder isn't so hot, either.

Seems the only answer for having the coach of all your wants & likes is to do like the rich folks and order a new Phenix or IH-45 to your liking or get real educated, buy a Prevost converson. ;D
For me, the 2001, 36' U320 with the ISM 500 is the complete package, have had a few mods at Xtreme done. For my style, nothing can beat it in the hills or at the camp site.
Of course I am cheap & tachy.

(Best)
After owning 3 motor homes. I have found the road manners of the Foretravel outstanding. ie. retarder, disk brakes, and outside mounted air bags to mention a few.
(Worst)
The bulkhead issue.
The lack of structural enginering on the slide opening. The bottom of the slide opening sages about a 1/2" along with the storage bays under the slide opening. I have notice the problem with a number of FT with slides.
Lack of convenient wall receptacles, Uncomfortable J lounge.

Best - pretty much everything else.
I imagine as time goes by and we are in ours a little longer we'l find other little things that we wish were different - but overall we just can't get over the quality and thought that went into the design.

Agree with some of the comments.
Worst - working on the engine. A couple of hours being a contortionist in the engine bay wears me out. Second to that is access to the fresh water tank. I'd really like to be able see what's going on in there without having to tear the coach apart.
Best - build quality and support. I can still get parts for it, and my questions are always answered. This forum and Barry's web site are really key for me in buying a Foretravel. Try getting detailed info on any other brand of older coach - I did - spent many hours and days going nowhere.

Best:
This is the first coach I have owned, all I know is the build quality is outstanding compared to the other brands that I had looked at before coming to Foretravel. My parents had a 98 Monaco and when I called my mom a couple of years ago while they were driving down the highway, mom ask me if she could call me later due to it being so noisy while they were under way that she couldn't hear. I don't have that problem at all. Smooth and quite is the way the 04 U320 rolls alone.
It has a flat screen tv's, most SOB's didn't start doing that until 07/08.
I have full/mostly full tile. No cracks anywhere.
I could go on.

Just in case you are asking - if they're like our '03, 2nd storage bay on the curb (passenger) side, look for the panel screwed into the rearward wall. Unscrew that panel and you will find your house batteries behind it.

Favorite feature is chassis construction, especially the ride and handling characteristics. It allows lots of other great features to be put in their proper places so they function well. We have an appreciation for those issues after owning SOB coach of same size and vintage.

Pat C., Don Hay posted pictures of the same cupholder in another thread. Here is the link but it sounds as if they were aftermarket after all: CupHolder Solution (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=14740.msg86950#msg86950)

Worst
1-The AC vents are under the steering wheel,Not a good spot at all unless you want to keep your legs cool..
2-Low head lights...I can see every pimple in the road 100 feet in front of the bus,After that it's dark.
Best
1-Non Computerized Cummins Diesel+Allison Tranny+Rockwell axles+A Solid Coach inside and out=One Bad Ass Machine!!!!This Thing never stops

I think Steve or Michelle should put these Best/Worst on some kind of pie chart, for a visual aid. All this mechanical talk is great ... but I am still going with the worst feature being the mirror opposite the commode. Hands down.
