Foretravel Owners' Forum For owners and Fans of Foretravel Motorcoaches September 06, 2025 ...

I thought it would be best to get the correct information out to people. Every company has policies and procedures and this is ours in respect to inspections.

I am looking for an inspector for a U320 at MOT, who did you end up using, IM me with details pls.  Also curious how it went.

I don't usually post here, but I see there's been a lot of questions and comments about our inspection policy, and I wanted to give an official response.

We welcome third-party inspectors to come to our lot and perform inspections, but we do have a few requirements. Specifically, we ask that the inspector is both insured and certified by a reputable organization, such as NRVIA. We've had instances where inspectors without proper experience or qualifications showed up, and our staff ended up having to explain things like inverters or slide-out systems. This can be time-consuming and, frankly, counterproductive for everyone involved.

Our policy is designed to protect not just the buyer and the seller, but also the integrity of the motorhomes we sell here at Motorhomes of Texas. Whether it's a home, car, or RV, it's always in everyone's best interest to ensure that anyone working on or inspecting the vehicle has proper insurance and expertise.

I also want to share a bit of advice: before committing to an inspection, consider taking the time to visit the coach in person. Many times, we've seen inspections come back with positive results, but when buyers see the coach up close, something about the layout or features just doesn't feel right. In these cases, the only one who benefits is the inspector.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, feel free to reach out to me directly via email.


Thanks

Mel I think we all know that an NRVIA certification doesn't go very far in the world of Foretravels, particularly the Unicoaches. They're very unique coaches with a specific set of things to worry about. That's the reason everyone wants Keith to do their inspections.

And as for the insurance, correct me if I'm wrong here, but while the consignment coaches are on your lot, they are typically not covered by the owners insurance policy or your own? If true, seems like an odd place to all of a sudden start worrying about it.

All I was doing was explaining our policy for inspections.  I didn't make the post to stir the pot.  I thought it would be best to get the correct information out to people. Every company has policies and procedures and this is ours in respect to inspections. The Keith thing is set in stone.  He is an previous employee and the decision was made years ago in regards to him doing inspections.    The insurance thing is easy.  Who should be responsible if something is damaged or someone falls off the roof during an inspection?

 MOT, and myself  have sold many members of this forum over the years and we enjoy filling a special niche in the market by stocking older Foretravels.  I am sure at some point that business model won't work any more as they get older which will be too bad because they are great motorhomes.

Feel free to email me are call me at the dealership anytime

Thanks

MOT made a business decision, as is their prerogative. You may not like what Mel said he said but he showed up and posted here so props to him.

Keith is awesome.

Decide with your wallet.

I suggest we shut down this discussion.
