I am curious if those that didn't get a call back just asked to speak to a tech or left a detailed message.  I always leave the unit number and a detailed explanation of the problem and always get a response in reasonable time.

I'm very disappointed in FT.  I've owned three coaches and went down there to buy one on display, but had to run to China and asked Tyle if I needed to leave a deposit.  He said no need just call when you return.  It was sold when I returned.  I called the sales manager after my return and he treated me like garbage.  I'll never buy another coach there.  I also called over a month ago because of a couple of technical issues.  I haven't heard from them yet.  I talked to one of the tech's about the issue of the forum and we discussed the issue of not getting called back.  He just didn't understand why people were upset.  Really?!  Does there manure not stink or what.  I gave up!  No more.  Newell here I come!

Do not like and will not own an aluminum skinned motorhome.  Too tender.  Gen on every moment you are in the coach or be plugged in.  Nice coach.  Not so much as an Rv.  Different design idea.

I dunno, My U320 4200 is pretty close to this.  We've been working on it but it has a mad 12v power thirst ;)  But don't a bunch of the Newell's have windows you can't open?  Yeah, that's a definite generator running situation.  At least so far this summer we haven't used our a/c much at all.

Yes my guru buddy pointed out the beautiful flush mount glass on a new coach that only pivots open from the bottom.

Why would you want to open a window when you have air conditioning?

Advantage of the original Foretravel design was the white gel coat exteriors ability to not soak up heat.  Like every boat in the harbor.

I would not own a Non laminated fiberglass side wall coach myself.  Preferable non painted.

Sold a few SOB's where the customer ordered them as "plain wrap"  no external graphics.  Cooler.  No fading. 

Sold a lot of Foretravels by having the customers touch the gel coated wall in direct sunlight then walk over to a painted coach and touch that sidewall. 

Also don shipe the old factory rep taught me to kick the side wall with a flat against the wall foot.

In shows that was fun as you got people poking their head out of the entry asking what happened. 

I always mentioned at that point to make sure that you had no rocks on your shoe bottom.

Don did that demo with his cowboy boots on and he was a big guy.  Fun.

I have scraped countless small branches against white Foretravel side walls in use.

Would make it much harder to use a painted coach in my opinion and actual use.

But we like the non gen running dry camp ability of our hard to damage gel coated u 320.

Probably the best Rv made.  Not the best luxury coach.  We are still rver's.  Different idea.

It's used already IMO. 

Looked at a newer country coach beautifully painted a while ago up close.  The owner had terribly scratched up the front paint removing bugs with a stiff bristle brush of some kind.

Looked terrible.  Wash off easily off the max guard 29 gel coat.  Mine has damage like rock chips on it.  Unless the sun is exactly sideways they are invisible.  Two years to see them.

Tough coach.

Do not have the Newell in a hail storm.  Like an airstream.  Minot had a hailstorm at an FMCA rally and totaled 1500 trailers out of 4000 their.  The salesman for the dealers loved it.  They called me at 7am to gloat.
