Title: UVW (unloaded vehicle weight) request
Post by: RamblingMan on December 19, 2016, 12:29:32 pm
Hello all. New member here looking into purchasing a Foretravel sometime in the future. I was hoping someone could let me know the UVW (unloaded vehicle weight)..... and/or the    NCC (net carrying capacity) for the 1996 Foretravel U270 3600. Also, if there are any links for information on pre 2000 Foretravel coaches they would be much appreciated.

Cheers!
Steve

As a thirty three year foretravel manager and owner I would heavily suggest finding any model you can with Aqua hot. ,

Spent countless days with propane furnaces in many different coaches. 

If you want a four season coach regardless of weather the aqua hot is incredibly nice,

If we decided to drive into -20 f weather I would need to do nothing but drive.  Dry camped.

96 is single panes windows, drop through airs and propane furnaces.

Trust me.  Unless you will be  warm weather users....

My two cents.

Bob

According to your posts, you sold Foretravels about 33 years ago (1984-1989 are the dates you stated previously on the Forum), so the above statement is quite misleading.

You are correct in some ways. Not the way I intended the comment to be interpreted.  The 33 years could be counted till today as I now own a foretravel and was never out of the Rv loop since 1984 as all my old friends are still in the business and my son is in the Rv repair biz.

The old friends were instrumental in helping me evaluate and the  repair and upgrade every system in the well used 97 u320 we gratefully purchased as it's the only possible Rv we would have been interested in as it's a aquahot big engine middoor.

Left the formal Rv  biz in 96 after running a country coach store for an old buddy.

The CC dealer was 100 yards from the foretravel store in traveland usa so so was in their coaches constantly from 89-96.

DW and I opened her own business then and we were able to play most of the time.  300 days dirt biking.  300 days skiing. 400 days jet skiing.

While we were young enough to still do these things.  We always said we would own a foretravel someday.  Someday came four and a half years ago.

We were well trained from 84-96 continious rv'ing in every brand made.  Sure helpful now.

Then the phone rang from my old Foretravel sales buddy roger offering the richard and Betty barks trade in through our mutual old buddy brad nerhous's trans west sales.
