We did it!!!! New to us Foretravel.

Thank you all for your suggestions, comments, remarks, recommendations, etc.

Once we learn how to make stuff work, we'll be heading north looking for weather where the temperature starts with a 7!!!

Thanks again,

Congratulations! You'll have to hurry on the temperature end of it, the 7_'s may be gone in a month or so. Just have fun and enjoy your coach whatever nature brings.

After having our new, to us, Foretravel serviced at MOT, we left MOT Monday morning and traveled to Shady Pines RV Park in Texarcana, TX. So far we keep finding out more great features that are built into our U320. We have shot ourselves in the foot a few times. Can you say "operator error." (Way too many times! But we're hanging in!)

After opening the aft engine hatch, I couldn't get it closed. Walked around and around looking at the hinges, and the latches, finally I just pulled harder and "Wow" it closed. The bathroom pocket doors were a similar story.

Now we are in Marion, IL enjoying cooler weather, and headed to the upper peninsula of Michigan. Never had a coach that drives so quietly and so well.

Glad to be a member of the "cult!"

Yes we worship Fiberglass and wood.  And fun...expensive initiation to the cult.  You can check out but never leave totally.  I came back 20 years later.

Congrats!!!!

We got service at MOT today, and just pulled into Shady Pines.  Too bad we are a few days behind you.  Nice view here, but I bet it's much cooler there in IL.
