Cici,
I'll do what I can to help. Can you post pictures? Do you have access to the coach?

Next to the drivers seat there should be a plate that will list the model, manufacturer, serial number, etc.

If you can post that, it will tell members of this forum what they need to help you.

You for sure will need a tow company that is experienced in moving large trucks or RV's. You may need to pull the axles in order to not damage the transmission.

Good Luck!
Len

There will be a metal plaque on the wall next to the driver's seat. It will have date built, model and VIN.

And, yes, pictures and location would allow us to be of more assistance.

BTW, the manufacturer is FORETRAVEL, not Foretraveler

Lucky!
As mentioned find the metal plaque under the driver side window.

Seems like I saw a link on this forum that concerned a seal kit for the rear end if the axles are removed for towing 'on the hook', but can't find it. I'm told heavy duty tow trucks have them for most rear ends.

Many states will allow registration and title with a statement of facts. Get as much information from whoever gave it to you and have them sign a gift receipt. How about some photos? Photo of engine and data plate next to driver's seat. Is it diesel or gasoline powered? A smart phone will be for photos. Pull axles and don't allow towing service to disconnect driveshaft. Too late to order axle caps for towing but tow company may have them onboard. Call to make sure before they arrive.

I usually do think that same thing, but I sort of had a feeling that the OP knew there was 'something' about a Foretravel, and was prepared for what he was facing. He should have known, for sure, that THIS FORUM is where all the nutcases reside!

Guys (yes, and Gals),

How about we hold off on comments until we get more info from the OP.

My Ouija board ain't smart enough to know whether they have a "gem or junker".

Done my fair share of inspecting both!

Still no reply from the OP........
don't understand those who ask for help / advise and we never hear back from them.

OK, guys.

Let's not UNwelcome him.

Hopefully he will come back and we can certainly help him if he does.

Lots of knowledge here-- he just has to ask.

If I were to hazard a guess I would say that Friday came and went, and so did the coach..

If the person comes back, lets be welcoming.. Many people are timid among strangers.
