Title: Owners manual found
Post by: Gary Omel (RIP) on May 03, 2012, 11:20:13 pm
  I was going through some boxes that were put upstairs in a storage area many years ago,when I found this owners manual for a 1988 Foretravel that my late wife & I owned at one time. It had a 3208  300HP CAT, was green & white Grand Villa, and was probably the best FT we ever owned. (We had five). I have no explaination as to why it did not remain in the motor home when we sold it.
  The book is in very good condition but is sort of generic . It has good info on belts, filters, hoses for all the engines available at the time but it does have specific wiring diagrams and other info for that coach.
  The V.I.N. # is  1F97D440XPN054524
  The model # is  G93418340WTBIU300WE11
  If a forum member presently owns this coach ,, I would be happy to send the book to you.  Or,if any one knows of a 1988 green & white Grand Villa FT, have them check the numbers.

Hi Gary,
That is one of the few owners manuals I have not yet located.
I would love to have a copy of that manual.

Gary,

This appears to be a manual for a 1993, not a 1988.

Barry is the obvious person for the manual; if he has it then we'll all have access to it. :)

I stand corrected. This is the owners manual for a 93 unihome. My only excuse is , I was tired when I composed the post and when I seen the picture on the front page showing an 88 GV ,( don't know why they printed a picture of an ORED instead of a unihome for a U300 manual ) , I failed to check farther. I should have realized something was not right when I typed in the model number.

That coach was a maroon and white, 40',with a Trace inverter model # 2012. I believe it was sold to someone in the far N.E.  I also have the owners manual for that inverter.

Barry, it is all yours if the present owner does not claim it. We will be in Southern Ca. , Indio, Yucca Valley, Santa Paula, in mid to late July. Is that close enough to meet somewhere or do You want it USPS?

I guess that 1988 manual is going to stay illusive. :(
I can wait till you get here. Love to meet you. 8)

I would sure like to find the manual for my 1980 FTX RED I think that maybe only five ever existed.
