Makes it look kinda naked...Question to our long-term Forum members: When did the Hadley horns and the spotlight become more or less "standard equipment" on GVs?Not long term but:Did the ever offer Hadley horns on a gasser?spotlight was probably an optionjust a guess.......

Of course you are right - GAS engine...no air compressor on engine...no air horns. Thanks for pointing out the obvious (to all but me). Quote Selected
Re: 1991 Foretravel Grand Villa gas Reply #29 – December 10, 2017, 12:22:20 pm FWIW,I like it. I would think you should have some fun with it. I like the smaller size. I used to have a sob with a rear bath and the twin beds, it will work just fine. The rear bath seemed larger than normal. Agree with the overheating issue. Watch the temps. Best of travels.

Re: 1991 Foretravel Grand Villa gas Reply #31 – December 10, 2017, 05:19:38 pm I think some of them with the hydraulic brakes had an auxiliary compressor to run the Hadley air horns. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: 1991 Foretravel Grand Villa gas Reply #32 – December 10, 2017, 05:48:52 pm Kinda correct. beam site lists dual electric trumpet horns as standard, air Hadley's we're optional on the 815d chassis. Quote Selected
Re: 1991 Foretravel Grand Villa gas Reply #33 – December 11, 2017, 09:28:24 am What a neat little Foretravel. I like the looks of it! There has been much discussion here of folks wanting a smaller rig - this is a great alternative. Foretravel should look at reviving this length coach, in my opinion. I hope you have lots of fun in this.There was one like that for sale near me at an RV lot recently, and I saw a price of $8500 on the windshield. It did not look to be in nearly in as good shape as yours. So, I think you got a deal. Enjoy!Chris Quote Selected 2 Likes

Re: 1991 Foretravel Grand Villa gas Reply #36 – December 26, 2017, 11:49:45 am Welcome to the 29' crowd. I think there may be three or four of us on here now. Gas mileage sucks, but everything else is still a GV. 😋Mj Quote Selected 3 Likes
