In my opinion, finding and buying a coach that you like within your budget is only the first problem solved. The others will show up soon after no matter what brand you buy. We have traveled, part timed, full timed, and worked out of several different brands of coaches over the last 20 years. Based on experience, we would NEVER AGAIN buy a coach that does not have an active, knowledgeable forum dedicated to that brand. Obviously, Foretravel is one. Wanderlodge is another. Prevost too, although a lot of Prevost owners have deeper pockets than I. Newell used to have an active board but I think it has slowed down a lot.  There may be others but I am not aware of them. An active knowledgeable board is worth more than a super deal, having a shop you like down the street, or having deep pockets. We own a Wanderlodge now but shopped Foretravels before we bought it. This board is the reason. If we trade, we will look at Foretravels & Prevost again.  Look at the support before you even consider the coach.

Tom you may be thinking of the old Newell forum that is basically defunct now.  Newellgurus.com is very active with great info and very well organized with multiple groups which make searching much easier.  Since there aren't nearly as many Newells built as FT's the volume won't be as much as this.

Thanks! I didn't know about that. Of course, I've been busier than a one toothed beaver in a pine thicket so I haven't had a lot of time to spend window shopping. I'll add the link to my collection.  ;D
