Title: Foretravel MH Manual
Post by: Masticate on March 19, 2024, 04:30:53 am
Just curious how complete the house and chassis manuals that come with new Foretravel MH like house and chassis wiring diagrams and wire numbers ETC?

IF you get all the factory manuals, they are very comprehensive, with excellent wiring and air system schematics.  Foretravel is good about putting ID labels on both ends of most major electric wires and cables.  The electrical diagrams show the ID numbers in most cases.

Of course, the older a coach, the more likely that wiring circuits will have been "modified" to non-OEM condition by previous owners.  Figuring out custom wiring mods can be a real treat.

Also, in the case of older coaches, some or all of the original factory documents and manuals may be MIA.  In some cases, the factory can supply a digital copy of missing manuals.

Chuck,

Masticate is asking about new coaches - Realm, Realm Presidential, Realm FS450.  I'm not sure we know what manuals are included since things are very different now.  Hoping an owner of a new model responds.

ETA - these are all built on a Spartan chassis, so for Masticate's question on chassis diagrams, those would likely have to be provided by Spartan/Shyft Group.
