A thread in the Classifieds section made reference to the rarity mid-entry Unicoaches (vs. Unihomes). I did a search, but I could not find what I was looking for. Out of curiosity, how many mid-entry Unicoaches did FT manufacture? (I understand they tended to be more of a custom order, so I suspect there weren't many.) Were they more common in any particular length or model year? Thanks.
Not sure how the numbering goes but my 97 u320 unicoach is build #5132 and the 27th center entry from ?. Unicoach I am assuming?
I had a 1998 295 mid-entry (now Dave and Dolly's) and I asked James that question. I was told that year, four mid-entry's were made, one each, 36" 295 and 320. One each 40' 295 and 320. No 270 mid mid-entry's I can only assume that other years would have had somewhat similar build production except for specific orders. Norm H.
Every GV320 is mid-entry too. Not exactly sure but I believe they were made between 2000 and 2003. If you haven't seen one before just Google Images "Foretravel GV320". Most (if not all) had a slide, some had a tag, some don't.
I saw the one 1998 U320 40' mid entry last spring south of Ft. Worth. I circled back and met the owner. The owner was looking to downsize, mentioned he was selling, and the service shop owner bought the coach that day!
I also met Dr. Spoor in NAC, when he was selling his custom 2003, Uxxx 36' mid door. It is very rare to find either a mid door Unicoach, or an after 2000 Grand Villa. I count myself a very lucky owner.
That is a great and unique looking coach. Have to see if I can find some more examples. Were those all in the 40-foot length? Looking at Barry's page, I only see the 2001 GV320, which came in a 40-foot model. (I was able to determine from Barry's site that 24 of these, all apparently special order, were built between 2000 and 2003. I assume they were all 40-foot models. Rare indeed.)
The coach that Dave and Dolly have was built for a man named Pat Martinez I believe,Pat keep the coach in Florida in the winter not fare from where Doris and I live,it was traded to Foretravel on an ultra rare GV 295 36 ft. non slide.
The papers in mine say Clifford Richardson out of Arizona
Dave's coach was purchased from the foretravel dealer in Tampa Fl., but I believe the original owners were from Virginia. Those papers were included when I sold it to Dave so he should be able to research that . I had to check the sales sheets for the safe combo when I got it. Norm H
