Re: Foretravel Inspection Reply #27 – December 24, 2012, 09:27:34 am Scott - just another perspective: Not that things don't break - they do and will. But there are 2100+ foreforum members and for the most part the postings are about issues, repairs, improvements or where to go or what to see. I really do not see folks making posts about the wonderful trouble free day they just experienced in their coach. There are alot of forum members out there enjoying their coaches that we never hear from. Quote Selected

Re: Foretravel Inspection Reply #29 – December 24, 2012, 01:56:05 pm Mark - Thanks for your comment. I may have walked into this with "partially" rose colored glasses, but still feel as if we have made the correct choice. I am now on page #28 on Tech Talk and am continuing to sift through the posts and cutting and pasting stuff into my Foretravel folder on my computer desk top that has value to me. Frankly many things - and that is good.After reading so many posts with pleas for help both on the road and parked either at home or in a park I am feeling comfortable with the fact that I will need to get my hands dirty and perform minor repairs and focus on PMs through out the coach. I knew this b/4 in a macro way but the reality has set in on a micro way. Many of the things I kinda knew and many I didn't have a clue. That being said - My knowledge base in increasing and more importantly knowing how to find problems/issues and solutions on this web site is clicking. Wonderful source of information.You folks are amazing.Perhaps maybe someone knows of a place in Las Cruces or El Paso that will do a quick turnaround on fluid analysis. Thanks again everyone,Have a happy and safe holiday.Scott Quote Selected
Re: Foretravel Inspection Reply #30 – December 24, 2012, 03:51:16 pm Scott, You can use Blackstone Labs for Fluid analysis and they will return results to you by Email. I hardly pay attention to turnaround time as it has not been real important. Perhaps you could call them if you need special handling. Any trucking company, Bus garage, and even a Country COOP has sample kits BTW , I had no kit in MO once and the MFA gave me one.Blackstone LabsLemonAideGary BAnd..... Scott when you have absorbed all there is to know on this forum about Forertravels please give me a call as I want to download your brain... Quote Selected
Re: Foretravel Inspection Reply #31 – December 25, 2012, 01:37:47 am Gary B. I'm afraid if you downloaded my brain we would both be in trouble. :-)Thank you,Scott Quote Selected
Re: Foretravel Inspection Reply #32 – December 27, 2012, 08:39:28 am Carol and Scott,I'd not worry about the horror stories here. Any problem is a "horror story" until you find the solution, then it is just an interesting addition to your adventure. We think of this whole experience as an adventure. Been doing it for 12 years. Used to pray that things won't break down. Now we meet God halfway and pray they break down near a repair facility. If we'd kept our Victorian house we'd have been removing a couple of layers of asphault shingles then the original slate and spending boatloads of money and not complaining because all our friends did that kind of thing, too. Anyway, all our frineds now are RVers and most are Foretravel owners. It's just part of the adventure. Ten years or so from now somebody here on the Forum will be saying they got a GGREAT '96 U295 and their adventure will begin. Quote Selected

Marilyn and I are enjoying our FT adventure even as I type and she drives the Behemoth. At the next rest stop, we trade places. I drive and she knits. "Stuff" will break, wear out, need maintenance, etc. I fix it if I can. If I fix it, we find a expert to help us get on with the adventure. Quote Selected
Re: Foretravel Inspection Reply #34 – December 27, 2012, 11:38:25 am Hi Larry, I think you have it right. Amazing to think that someone will be getting a great coach ten years down the road. Foretravels are that good. Very few brands can say their thirty some years old coach is ready for another journey.Raymond Quote Selected
