Closer to being a FT owner 'o) - NOW, Sweet Deal - She's OURS !!!

We are on our way to FT to check out a U320 which has been inspected by Keith Risch today and things are sounding great -

Hope I picked the right discussion section to post this too

We may be official FTer's real soon  ;D

Welcome Virginia, Jim, and Cricket (former Lazy Daze owners ;-) )

Keith was the tech who worked on the PDI concerns on our coach when we bought it (used) via MOT back in 2004.  You're in good hands and we have our fingers crossed for you!

 :D Thanks for voting for Keith, we've heard from a couple others giving him "thumbs up" - He surprised me today when he called with his report, yes he was thorough.

We still have the Lazy Daze - she'll be listed for sale as soon as we know on the U320 - this is a bitter/sweet happening as 3 years ago today we were placing our order for Starr, our LD, and now here we are ready to move on and see her go off to other adventures -

Now where is that blog your spaniels write? - I'll have to have a talk with Cricket about sharing her travels  :))

We hope it's "d### the torpedoes, full steam ahead" for your U320. . .you'll love her!.  We felt the same sadness when we saw our beloved Airstream trailer follow someone else's truck when we thought our fulltiming days were done.  Our "Burrow" has more than fixed our broken hearts! ;D :)) :P

I, too, am a fan of Keith Risch.  He is a very knowledgeable and stand-up kind of guy.  You will love your Foretravel.  And you won't have ny problem selling your Lazy Daze.  Welcome to the ForeForums.  This is a great bunch of guys and gals who are always willing to help.

How Delightful - THANK YOU: Suzanne & Jeff, Michelle & Steve and George for your lovely VOTES of positive FORWARDNESS  :))

Feel really good about this U320 and are eager to see her on Monday -

Our LD will sell quickly, she is one spoiled gal all decked out with extra goodies - we must be ready to hand over the keys the day we list her for sale if not before - we know she will have a lots of fun after us -

Hope we have internet access in NAC so we can keep y'all posted - we'll know tomorrow -

Thanks again for helping to make this rapid transition warm and welcoming  :)

 :)) We arrived in NAC this afternoon and drove through the FT lot but did not see our "Big Girl" - there are many big beauties setting out in front just yearning for their owners  ;)

We'll know tomorrow - I brought my camera, now to try and remember how to upload to a forum, brain has too many mile markers flashing through it still - 824 miles to get here, ugh

We're still feeling good about this gal, anxious to meet Keith then head over to FT and check her out  ::)

Great big Thanks to Mr. Paul Tinkle and FT staff - also to Keith Risch, who is my HERO - Got the job done and We got a good solid, one owner coach for a price all parties were very happy with - could not ask for anything better  :)

We get our FT Motorcade Club info tomorrow when we go in to sign papers and confirm wire transfer -

Bringing our Lazy Daze back to NAC in couple weeks where we will make the transition, learn all about this Big Girl and get my class B DL upgrade - I need to be cloned!!!!

Thanks to everyone on the forum for your positive encouragement - we're looking forward to becoming a part of this FT family, making new friends and attending GTG's -

Excellent news & congratualtions!  I know you'll enjoy the Foretravel ownership experience which begins with a few days at the factory camp Foretravel lot wondering "what's that for?  How do I do_____?  Where's the ___? etc., etc.  If possible video their demo as they take through all the features during the introduction to her.

I suggest you take her out for a few spins and try to set up in a couple of locations.  That's the only way to get to know what's where.  Then, head back to Camp Foretravel with your list of questions.  Make sure you introduce yourself to James Triana and his boss, Mark Harvey.

Trust me, once you think you're on your own, another hundred questions will come up (that's where we come in) or James Triana or Mark Harvey.

Enjoy!

Steve and I have been on the road all of today, so a belated CONGRATS!  and welcome to the FT owner family!

Pics are of course a requirement of membership here (only kidding! - but are very welcome and are now anxiously awaited!).  We, too, got our Texas Class B licenses at DPS in Nacogdoches when we bought our FT. 

If you're still in Nac for at least another day, the Posse highly recommends a stop at PetSense near the Radio Shack (across from Walmart) to buy Cricket some celebratory toys..

HEY ALL -  :)) Thanks for the wonderful welcomes -

Toys, treats, more toys - Ms. Cricket is so spoiled - don't ya know we only got the FT because she has been so upset seeing all these other fur babies setting on the dash in their big coaches and she did not have one - - Really she believes it is all about her - Yep we'll get over to the pet shop when we return in couple weeks, we'll be hanging in this area for a little while come June -

Now Peter your suppose to be able to answer all my questions on the Da this ----- thingy that turns red when the switch is pulled off the dash and I forgot which pocket I stuck it in yet the engine is making this gurgling noise like it is drowning - Oh I was not to put water in that big tank with openings on each side - well no wonder the engine is drowning  - WOW this really is going to be fun and shame y'all can't have a ring side seat, cause I will be a comically delight - Jim will be laughing for sure - Make a video now that would be a YouTube masterpiece 'o) - I'd let all my secrets out of the paper bag  :P

We're off tomorrow to return to ABQ and gather our things and head back to NAC in couple weeks - Ah it will be good to be back in Texas for a while, thou hot and muggy it will be nice -

We'll catch up with everyone in a few days - Thanks to all of ya -

Oh gosh - Jeff and Suzanne -

I don't keep up with those rallies - would love to go to one, I just don't plan that well - need a tour director 'o)

We may be back in Albuquerque by Sept so we can get solar panels on our big gal - that is a needed add on

We'll have to plan a intimate small party gtg for our fur babies 'o)
