It's Rupert (Jack) Liebold. Is he back at Tennessee RV? Last I heard he was trying to get Buddy Gregg's to set up a mobile RV repair service with him. They didn't want him working after hours and weekends, he said, and that's when mobile service does it's thing best.
No RV! Have hung up the keys.

I called Midwest's Finest in Joliet a while ago about Foretravel service and the service manager said that "we haven't seen one of them for quite a while."  I don't think the list is anywhere near up to date.

Regarding a PDI yes, have someone who knows Foretravels look at it.  When I purchased my coach, which had to be one of the best maintained Foretravels, I had one of MoT's mechanics look at it privately and he found two items that the owner was not aware of.  One was very minor and the other the owner paid to be fixed.

I have been around vehicles and equipment most of my life both professionally as well as privately but I had a PDI on my Foretravel as I had no experience with them.

Since this is in my backyard I was very interested in their service, but when I called about 3 years ago I got the same reply as Keith.  Needless to say, they've got no business from me.

When I bought my coach,  a consignment from California Coach,  an actual Foretravel dealer at the time,  Steve had already had a comprehensive inspection performed by Cummins Cal Pacific.  Everything they found had been repaired at the seller's expense.  Back then, Cummins Cal Pacific did everything.  Now days then are chassis only.

I have since had good experiences with Cummins and also Temecula Valley RV Service.  Temecula Valley does everything,  including my slide problem,  interior mods,  and chassis service.  This would be my choice for a pdi in Southern California.

Another good place for full-service in Southern California would be Redlands Truck and RV.  They did my tow bar and brake system installation,  along with fixing a few incidentals.
