Thanks DJ.. While 2 weeks ago I could still go to Beam and navigate.. That since came to a halt.. Downloaded the link you posted and appear to be back in business.

I had the same problem. I didn't really need anything on there I just like to go look at it sometimes. Hopefully it will stay there.

Hello everyone.  I don't know if anyone feels like I do, but I miss Beamalarm.  The information contained there got me out of many jams.  It was pure genius.  I am not finding the wealth of information contained there in All Thing Foretravel.  Does anyone know if I can find this information anywhere else.  Did anyone copy the site before it was taken down like I meant to do?  Any help would be appreciated.

"Forever" is a very long time.  I suspect not much of anything will last that long.

I too worry about the availability of Barry's excellent information. I also miss his pithy replies that closed out our wordy threads with the definitive solution. Anyhow, the Wayback Machine often yields bad links, slows down and bombs out. No way to fix that. If MOT now owns the database I think they owe it to the Foretravel community to restore its former glory.

I agree with Jor. Mot has built a large business primarily on older Foretravels.  A primary driver behind this is the great rep these older, affordable coaches have for support.  There are several components of support, this forum is probably the largest, as well as the factory which still supports our coaches for parts and repair, the Beamalarm site which also helps owners understand and diagnose problems, and MOT who provides good quality services for folks who choose not to do their own repairs. 

I was saddened to see the Beamalarm site stripped of content.  Beyond that, much of that now missing content was gleaned elsewhere from the efforts of others.

Miss Barry period. When I bought my first FT he emailed me things that would have been hard for me to find elsewhere, and I know he did that for countless others. Just a fine fella.
