Hi all,
Curious if anyone out there with a similar coach, would want to sell their wood steering wheel? I would send our leather steering wheel plus $ in exchange?
I like wood steering wheels, but have not been able to find an after market wheel that I like. Our 2003 U295 only has 50k miles on her, so our leather wheel is in fine shape. I'm sure it a long shot, but thought I'd try.
Can't help you with the swap, but I sure would like to see a photo of the wood wheel. Never saw any Foretravel that had one!
I see you have been looking for a wood wheel for a while (Reply #2):

I wonder if a Prevost wheel would fit ? very similar in design but wood.
I'm curious. Doesn't your coach have a smart wheel? If so where would you put the switches?
Found some photos - is this close to what you want? Also a link to a truck wheel outlet.
First photo looks almost exactly like the wheel on our '93 U280, except a wood rim instead of leather. Hmmmm........

Try, Semi Truck Chrome Parts and Accessories | Iowa80.com (https://www.iowa80.com/) that is where I purchased the wood steering wheel for our coach.
Roland,
Thanks for the suggestions! I have seen numerous coaches for sale with wood wheels, so the smart wheel should not be effected. Here's a photo of a coach for sale at MOT with the wood wheel option:

They may be able to source you a plug and play wood wheel as they show them in their catalog. Give 'em a call FWIW. Woody.
