Nah - your 4th should be the 2010 Nimbus that Mel Cordray e-mailed me about the other day (probably our favorite recent Foretravel ever).  Then when you buy your 5th, you can sell the Nimbus to us.  I think I'll send Carol the "particulars" ;D

Great coach, great price. I think Barry said there were only six '03 tag axle GVs made. This is the 4th one I've seen.

Some info on this coach for anyone interested. I looked at it a few days ago for a friend of Gary Omel's. It has some issues. First there is some delamination on the side between the bathroom window and the W/D combo vent. Front A/C does not blow too cold. Toilet does not work. I think it is one of those opus vacuflush models. There is a water leak in the bay with the manoblock valves. May have caused some corrosion in the bulkhead area. The dealer is not very knowledgeable about Foretravels and instead of fixing the ZipDee's he removed them and replaced them with some cheap Dometic window awnings. The main awning is still original but I believe the slide awning has been replaced. The roof has been coated with what looks like a mobile home roof coating. Looks a little messed up too. I have a few pictures and some additional info if anyone has questions.

Regards, Mark

Mark, It  is too bad that you found problems with that coach.  In top condition that would be my dream coach.  Sounds like it has been neglected and would take a lot of work and money to rehab it.  It has not been too many months since that coach was in the FMCA Magazine classifieds at $175,000.

 Mark , You have a good eye for details and know what to look for. It is a shame  that dealer only wants to sell "campers".The repairs he did and the cheap awnings they installed really lowered the value of that coach. .He should never be allowed to buy a Foretravel. That still is a fine machine and the damage that is there can easily be repaired but after some phone calls my friends expanded their search and I belive they have a verbal contract on a much better coach.
 If anyone in the Jacksonville area needs a Fortravel inspected, I believe Mark can find both the good and the bad in a Fortravel. My friends and I thank you for your services.
