Foretravel 320 parts in Omaha

Don't know much about 320's, but thought many of you might be interested in this '97 U-320 being parted out. It's only been listed since the 24th and I have no idea what the problem is

Can's see any fire damage so maybe running gear?

Here's the site:

Those photos look very familiar; I recall looking at them via a link here a few months ago.  Look closely (streetside exterior photo, just beyond the awning) and you'll see there was a fridge fire.

We were at Visone rv the first week of sept and got a cabinet from the bedroom to put in our 03. The coach has a lot of water damage due to the large opening in the roof and the fact that the reare of the coach is lower than the front. It looks pretty rough.

Purchased steering box from Vision in London Ky,
box came from this unit . I walked thru the unit
and was pleased to get the steering box. Nothing
else remained except the awnings. I was really
surprised because of all the pictures.        Gibby

Bumping this thread - Barry and Donna made me aware that Visone now also has a 1995 U320 SE for parts (lots of photos - substantial fire damage)

What a shame.  I wonder why there is a dinky little auto type alternator on it ?  Any one know whose this was ? Lots of damage , even some not related to fire.

A couple of the photos show "Tattoos by Bryan" on the driver front corner and rear left...  Tennessee plates.

Just guessing by photo of engine that this coach had flood damage. Interior, near dash looks the same....silty mud residue.

They also have a 98 U295 on their site... the listing says that it has a Cat engine which I thought must be a mistake, but the photos show what appears to be a Cat in 98' U295! I wasn't aware that Cat engines were even an option in those years. It never ceases to amaze me the seemingly endless variety of Foretravel coaches that are out there. :o

Back in those days if you wanted it they built it. That's how we just saw a 95 U300 with M11 and a jake. I've seen 96/97 U320s and 295s both with the 3176.

93 to 2001 were the heydays of Foretravel.

I spread the info about this outfit on some of the bus forums, boy did I get an ear full of less than desireable info, like high pricing, shipping damaged material and no refunds, etc. etc...
So the only way it appears to deal with this gang is in person, if you can go there, you might find what your wanting in the condition you can live with at a price you are comfy with, but successful dealing on the phone/email, seems to be a big NO NO.
Good luck & have fun

I can see no flood damage in the lower bays, I think this unit had a very hot flash over fire.
