So by 1993 Foretravel owners started eating out a lot! :))

The gas range is also useful as a slow, steady, almost completely quiet source of comfortable heat that is 100% efficient and uses no electric power from the batteries. As soon as it starts to get dark outside cook supper and leave your oven on the rest of the night. You probably won't have to use your furnace at all unless it's really cold outside. It works great when you're camped in a WallyWorld parking lot, truck stop, rest area, or any campground that doesn't have electric hookups. Because I still have all my original gas appliances, I hardly ever start my generator when I'm dry camping. I can't imagine starting my generator just to make a cup of coffee or cook something, but we're all different. A lot of Foretravel owners run their generator all the time, even while driving down the road, something I only do in an emergency, like when I lost my alternator last summer. Truck drivers run their big diesels all night long just to keep the cab warm so go figure.

If you use the gas range as a heat source you need to ensure that your CO detector is working.  You may sleep comfortable but you may never wake up......

I know exactly where I'll wake up when I die.

Nice looking MCI conversion... Why are you looking to change? Love our Foretravel, but I was originally drawn to the idea of a bus conversion. Just never found one that appealed to me (anywhere close to our budget anyway...). Just curious ;)

Just to clear up any misunderstanding, our '93 U225 has a 4-burner gas stove top but no gas oven. I don't know if it came that way from the factory but there are two deep drawers under it that appear to be the same as all the others so it's likely. The DW swears that she has never used more than 2 of them. :D

Thanks for the complement Don

My wife , I usually camp in state parks when we travel and I would like to find a 38' motor home with 2 slides in the same quality as our mci . The problem is all the newer units are all 45' , that's too long for  most parks that we like . The foretravel's  that I have bean looking at are pre 2004 so less emission's ( no egr and such ) I like the solid reputation that foretravel has . Not all that sold on the interior design but that is something that I can change .

With the kitchen in our rv now under the 3 burner cook top the 1st dwr could re removed as that is the size of a reg. gas oven with the cook top in it , we love all the counter space and all the dwrs . We use the rv for most of are meals , this why we had it built as all the other rv's we have had did not have very much counter space . 

Here is some more pics

I like your kitchen.  If only it had a dishwasher, I would declare it the best I've ever seen in an RV of any sort.  (Overall I think 5th wheels generally have the best kitchens.)
