Title: It followed me home, can I keep it?
Post by: ohsonew on July 08, 2015, 09:26:46 am
It's been a long time coming, but it has finally arrived. As of this morning, I have gotten a new to me Foretravel. It was listed on the forum some where on Craigslist. Its a 96 u320, 36' in Wichita. We are going to get possession on Friday. In the past 3 years of being on this forum, I have nearly 500 posts, the numbers are about to skyrocket from all my questions  ;D

I know that I will have the amazing support from everyone and I thank you all in advance.  I especially want to thank all that have helped me get to this point in person, Dave Cobb, Kent Speers, Don &Tys, Brett Wolfe, Barry Brideau, and many others through the forum.

I will change the avatar and post a picture once it is all said and done and I figure out how to do it. It's time to climb the steep learning curve hill. Let the games begin.

Big congratulations!  And it's nice to know of another Kansas-sourced coach.  Maybe ours are cousins.  ;-)

Thanks all for the support. I never doubted the fine folks on the forum one bit. We are scared to death and excited at the same time. Took the rig for a test drive, she sure liked 70  >:D I am sure we will be seeing many of you down the road, but no plans in concrete yet.  We have several obligations which will keep us close to KC for the summer, but hope to go to upstate NY to see family in early fall, and then see the kids in Phoenix this winter, so a trip to the Q might fall in line, if so Don and any others there , we look forward to meeting you.

@LookingWest , you never know our coaches might be close relatives. It's always nice to know that there is another tornado dodger around.

I also want to thank you all and apologize to you for the questions which will follow.

Congratulations Larry!  You guys are no longer wannabes and are no longer lusting after one of these magnificent beasts.  I had to wait three years for the right one to come along and it was well worth  it.  Just get ready for all the attention and admirers when camping.  We've been in 0ak Mountain State Park for three days and I've had to give three tours already!  ^.^d

Terrified, excited, butterflies, motivated, happy, terrified, intimidated, happy.... rinse and repeat! The way one feels anytime when knowingly embarking on a life changing journey of exploration. looking forward to the pictures, questions, project ideas, and seeing you guys down the long and winding road! ^.^d

Just about says it all, thanks Don.  You join all before you have done the same and will benefit from out help when you ask.

Congrats!  Fun commences as terror subsides.

Prediction:  You slept like a log after the first full day of driving.  You don't realize how much "mental energy" you have burned, until you lie down.
