We don't full time, but as far as usable space, we just upgraded from a 36 to a U320 40'-- the space difference is amazing.  Drivability is actually better on the U320 than it is on our older U280 36', and I didn't expect that.

This is a great thread, especially since we plan to full-time late next year.  Since I'm new to the forum, I've noticed that most of the responses are from those with FT in the '90s or early 00's.  Much different than many of the SOB forums which highlight the latest DPs.  It's nice to see so many FT full-timers whose coaches have withstood the test of time. 

My 2 cents, we will get slides and I'd like to get a tag.  We will probably "move" monthly and the slides are a tremendous asset when sitting for more than a couple days ... unless they leak :)  I'd like a tag since it gets you a little more ccc, along with maybe a little more stability on highway.  However, my only experience was test driving one, so certainly not an expert.

Tim, that's part of the reason why we have a Foretravel. One of the marks of a high quality coach is how well it stands up over the years.

James T. is the person at FT who is VP of support - basically he is our "bible" and authority on most things FT (beyond this group that is)

Hi jake62,
  James T. is a Foretravel owner's greatest asset. If he does not have the answer, well I have not heard of this happening. He has been there just about forever. This forum is a Foretravel owner's second greatest asset.

He showed me how they rolocked the subframe supports to the bulkhead at the unihome introduction at Nac in oct 1987. Had a small display piece setup.  I got to use his assembly tool to drive one in and take one home.  Young guy then.  Smart then also.  Kidded him recently about the rolocks.
