FOT service visit

We were in and out by noon! We had two issues, one interior and one exterior. A wardrobe door came open underway and it violently broke apart. We missed it and it made the coach look unkept. We called ahead and David Flanagan dug into the archives and found the plans for our door and replicated it. He had a hard time finding red oak, he had to look around and check several sources. Apparently it is in short supply like many other things.

 While servicing the coach recently I saw that two Rolock bolts on the rear bulkhead were missing heads. They replaced them and added three more bolts. A visual inspection of front and rear bulkheads indicated no other serious problems. No, they did not open up the fiberglass, but they did bang around  and check it to their satisfaction.

One of the service managers looked at the coach and commented that he probably built it. He said it appeared very solid.  I am grateful that Foretravel still services these coaches. All the staff were helpful and courteous. The campground is a big plus.
