Some of you guys are reading my mind almost as well as does my wife.  I am selling because my brain knows that it would be wiser to sell.  However, my heart says to spend less time riding, shooting, and making sawdust so I'll have more time to devote to my Foretravel.    I do love the coach, I enjoy traveling, and I've really enjoyed the forum members I've met.  I almost hope somebody steps in to buy my coach soon and relieve me of the decision to sell or don't sell.  Given enough time my heart will overpower my brain.

I can't claim to read your mind, but I've learned over nearly four decades of marriage to listen to my wife's wisdom!

I suspect you'll be sorry if ignore your wife's counsel and sell your coach.

Mr Kenney ,
I hope this reply (my first post) doesn't step on any toes...
I have been planning to buy a MH for some time, and have moved away from buying new to getting a high-quality, well cared for, used MH instead. Like a FT.

If you are still planning to part ways with yours, I would very much like to learn more about it, see pictures, and see where it leads us. How can I best contact you?

Thanks for your consideration.

Hello Schake.  I got your PM, and will send you a reply.  Welcome to the forum.  This forum is perhaps one of the best reasons to own a Foretravel over any other coach available.  I have not seen (and I've looked) any other motorhome that has a support group like this one.  This forum is not affiliated with Foretravel Inc., but the members and the moderators are the most knowledgeable and helpful people imaginable.

Did you see my post in the Classifieds?  In this post I give a basic rundown of the motorhome and show some pictures.  I'll be glad to answer any questions you have but I don't want to try to tell you more than you want to know.  As much as I like to talk and write, sometimes I get carried away.

Where are you located?  I'm in Southeast Texas between Woodville and Jasper, and only about 80 miles from Nacogdoches (aka as Meccadoches, and you'll see that word often on this forum).  I will be calling MOT today to schedule a service appointment for I want to make sure that all service is up to date for a new buyer.  I have records of all maintenance since I bought the coach.

I love this quote!  "Yet I love the slumbering giant, I love the velvety smoothness of it's motion, I love creeping through traffic jams with the radio blasting the overture  to "Cosi Fan Tutte" from all four speakers. Above all, I love bowling along the motorways in the sun. The sense of cushioned escape is complete;  I feel utterly protected, totally truant, and getting that glowing, illusory sensation of being in control of my life, of knowing where I'm going." 

This quote summarizes the feelings I get when driving this Foretravel except I'm listening to either Patsy Cline or ZZ Top on the radio.  I am the King of the World when looking at the scenery through the big windshield.  As I said earlier my head and my heart disagree when it comes to selling this motorhome.  At my age I should probably sell the motorcycle instead!

As CAflashbob said, this motorhome is getting almost unreplaceable for those who value it's unique features.  It has more storage space both inside and outside than practically any other coach.  It has no slides to worry about, and people on both sides of the fence debate slide vs. no slide.  (My wife and I are on opposite sides of this fence).  We have a couple of good friends who recently bought a new SOB entry-level coach.  It looks good with 4 slides and a lot of flash, and 2 large TV's in the living room alone.  He wanted to buy new rather than mess with maintenance on an older coach.  He said that since he doesn't tow a car he is satisfied with the little Cummins ISB pickup engine, but he admires the big M-11 in my coach.  When we camped together recently he admitted privately that even a cursory inspection shows the Foretravel quality is much better than his coach's paper-thin stapled woodwork.

Anyway, I will reply to your PM.  Welcome to the forum.
