Is there one - for the board? Maybe I can quit asking what an acronym stands for for instance, I think I know what unihome is...(coach with no steel frame}?

Unihome:  A unibody "bullet nose" Foretravel.

But, a "bullet nose" could also be on an Oskhosh chassis (ORED or OREG)

Unicoach if a "bus nose/blunt nose coach-- 1996 and later with a few 1995's. All diesels, all unibody construction.

Unibody construction uses the "whole structure" to add rigidity.  The vast majority of automobiles today are unibody. As are commercial buses such as Prevost.

Brett,
Since you know more than most if not all of us about this. Just to clarify further, in order to not confuse new to FT person.
93 & 94 " bullet nose " Grand Villa is also UNIHOME correct?
Which they were build in house by FT.
Thank you,
AL

I believe this is the way it goes:

All Unihomes  (Foretravel's in-house unibody construction) are Grand Villas.

Not all Grand Villas are Unihomes (ORED, for example): 1992 Foretravel Ored Specifications
