Model list

We are considering downsizing from our 08  Monaco Dynasty to shorter dp. Have always thought highly of FT. But the model #'s are confusing. Thinking of a 36 ft. Probably  a 2002 to2008 but am flexible. Is there a link to brochures with pictures?  Thanks

From 2002 up to around 2005 the model numbers are pretty simple.  They are U270, U295, and U320.  Bigger number = more "standard" content = higher original MSRP.  Lots of custom options and special order builds were produced, so each coach can be different and must be judged on its own merit.

Try using the Forum search engine to search for posts on a particular model.  For instance, search for "2002 U320".  See what pops up.

The Forum has a Wiki that might shed some light, although info on the newer (post 2008) models gets a bit thin:

I know we are talking different years, but we went from a 1998 Monaco Windsor to a 1998 Foretravel U-320.  The ride quality, the feeling of stability, the fit-and-finish of the interior - no comparison!  We went up from a 34-foot to a 36-foot, and it seems huge to us.

The media files on this site will give you a big start on your quest.  look for factory brochures in the years you maybe interested.  I am currently taking advantage of Motorhomes of Texas' hospitality as I deliver our coach to Extreme Paint and Graphics tomorrow for a step conversion and some touch ups.  Check MOT's website for the Foretravels they have currently for sale along with full color pictures and details.  I walked the the lots this morning and believe that almost anyone could find a suitable choice here.  Great selections.  We bought a 36 Foretravel here and it was just not enough room after downsizing from a 2007 Monaco Dynasty.  So we traded it in on our current coach.  So we only downsized 2 feet and 2 slides but we are very happy.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will be busy reading! Fortunately  I am an experienced RV'r.  50 years of travelling. Have owned a Clark Cortez,2 Wanderlodges and much more. I used to do  most of my own work but age prevents any heavy work. We winter in Mexico and have my own shop that can hold 2 42 ft. units. But closed US border is keeping us in Canada. I do not know when I will be buying an FT. Soon, I hope. Have to sell the Dynasty and the Bluebird.
