"New" FT Coach

 :)) Well it's official I've taken the plunge (or as my wife says "I've gone off the deep end")
I've bought another coach. Now a 2 coach owner. It's only temporary, Dear. Really

If anyone knows any info on the coach I'd appreciate hearing back.
2000 FT U270 - 40'
Bought it in Roseburg, Or , where it has been for the last 5-6 years. I spoke with the PO, he said he bought it off of a consignment lot in Florida. PPO was from Canada.
I'll get the build #'s when I go to the yard on Tues.

Original swirls/ stripes were removed some time in the past, the blue stripe is painted on.

Thanks in Advance - Ric

Congratulations! My wife isn't use to the idea that I bought one coach last month, can't imagine how she'd react with two in the family for any amount of time.  :D

I'm just kidding around. My wife is the most understanding woman on the planet.
She has her yarn, I have my vehicles.
She says I change cars the way some women change shoes.
I've told her it could be worse, it could be women. :dance:

Thanks John
I already love it. So does my wife. We went up to Anacortes, Wa., to a Zydeco dance on Fri. 1st night in the new coach.

I loved the Barth, but we plan on full timing & needed more space.

Anyone looking for a Really Nice 30' Barth ;D

I sense a trend here.  The fourth BARTH owner to buy a Foretravel in the last year. ^.^d

I LIKE that exterior design - very simple, clean and subdued, yet original looking.  You will get a lot of compliments, I am sure!  ^.^d

Welcome to the group.  Don't think you'll have a problem selling your SOB - appears to be very straight and clean.

I always liked the Barth motorhomes. I was sorry to see them go out of business. Hope you fine a good home for it.

Hi - Gary

We get Zydeco bands up from Louisiana 3-4 times a year. Wish it were more. Love the music. My wife & I met on the dance floor.
I think I see a road trip in our future. :thumbsup:
