Title: How Many Built Annually Over Past Few Years?
Post by: JeffOnLakeConroe on January 03, 2014, 09:59:08 pm
Happy New Year from Lake Conroe, Texas...  Just curious if anyone knows how many coaches Foretravel manufactured annually over the past few years...  Thank you, Jeff

Hi Jeff,
From what I have heard,the official statistics for coach builds at Foretravel in the last few years has been from 8 to 12 or so coaches per year. As it happens, we plan to be at the Thousand Trails Park in Lake Conroe later on next week. If you want to see our coach, feel free to stop by...

Wow, that seems a real low number to build no more than 12/year now?  Should help out the used FT market....

Would think that would kill their cost of materials as they'd pretty much be paying retail for everything?

That's probably in line with what their competitors are building, though. There aren't too many people who can afford million dollar plus coaches these days.

Was at the factory tour two weeks ago. They said 18-20. Since most of their orders are custom, it could vary but this was their average numbers.

I had heard in the 20s but now they are also producing that coach for the special vehicles group and I now the had an order for three and might be getting an order for eight next.  That will help and there is noting really that is new in the lot.
