Slide Out Year Models

What is the latest year model you can find a Foretravel with no slides?

1999 had very few slides (only U-32 "Special Edition"), 2000 quite a few, plus some non slides, after that, most all had slides unless special order without.

Thanks, Tim.  We are not a great fan of slides.

I believe if you walk into Foretravel of Texas with checkbook in hand, they will build a brand new one for you, however you want it built.

So the last year they built a no-slide model may well be in the future.

My 2001 U270, build #5881.  Was or is the last non-slide unit built according to the PO,  who bought the unit from the Factory after it had been used a a demo for two years.

And a beauty it is too! I especially like the up and over design of the ZipDee awning on your coach. I am sure that it gives more options for angling the inclination to deal with winds, shading. On ours, if you forget that the awning isn't extended in one of its top positions, you will end up with a nice arc in the fabric from the corner of the door as it tries to rip through the awning fabric. Don't ask me how I know :-(  I would love to get ours changed to that style... perhaps it will require a trip to Foretravel or Xtreme. I wonder if anybody has done this...

I recall seeing a 36' Nimbus that did not have any slides at FOT when we were there for service in 2012 .  Don't know what model year it was.

Yes there was a nimbus with no slides.  I saw it in production and in service as well.  I think there are a couple later than 01 with no slides but not many.  Lots of one and two slide coaches out there.

Don,

Ours did the closing on the door when open and put a nice rip in fabric. Really feel stupid when that happens!  Zip Dee sent some fabric and patch was easy. Really don't notice repair.
