Foretravel Owners' Forum For owners and Fans of Foretravel Motorcoaches September 11, 2025 ...

Thank you both, I will look for that group.  I just don't like posting on public fb groups when it comes to things like our RV's, don't want the whole world to know too much! LOL

As stated earlier in this thread, most posters here have older Foretravels.
Foretravel used to manufacture there own chassis. There were many similarities from one model/year to the next. With the introduction of the Realm, Foretravel switched to a Spartan chassis, then the IH was also eventually switched over the the Spartan chassis. The Realm was originally a model that was built exclusively for one Texas dealership and spected out to there specifications NOT Foretravels. Now, the IH has been discontinued and replaced with the Real Presidential. Also, the introduction of DEF required engines separated the older Foretravels from the "newer" models.
These two major changes separated the new from the old and made comparisons much more elusive, thus, few people here can relate to problems on the newer models.
I would think that any engine/chassis issues could be addressed by any RV equipped with the Spartan chassis, many motorhomes use this chassis system.

Enjoy your new Foretravel and WELCOME. I'm sure members here will help where they can.

Run your new Aqua Hot heater diesel burner once per month, every month, period.  Doing so keeps fresh diesle on the nozzel and it stone filter.  Sitting for weeks and months on end allows the diesel to congeal messing of the very fine mist spray pattern which leads to burner service sooner rather than later.

If you have other AH questions, ask them here or PM me.

I purchased a new to me 2018 Realm in June 2021 and have not found as much information about newer model year Foretravel on this forum. That said, I read the forum often and pick up much useful information about coach issues and Foretravel advice generally. Welcome.

She is being delivered within the next week or so and I already have questions and I am sure the hubs has more tech/system type questions on his mind. Coming from a 15 and a Freightliner to boot!

I'm grateful to those previous owners who were willing and able to buy new the things that I can only buy used, especially the fine people who forked over $350,000 or so in 1993 to order our coach. When you trade in your (5, 10, 20) year old coach on a new(er) one you may are trading in someone else's next coach. Please share your experiences here, ask your questions here, and generally contribute to the knowledge base. If I live long enough it is possible that someday I may be looking at an IH-45 or Realm. By that time there will be more of those coaches here than of our current U300, and it will be the few people who are trying to keep the "antiques" going that will be in the minority.

Again, thank you to those who are buying the newer coaches. You may be purchasing a future coach of mine.
