I have two vintage Foretravel coaches. First is my beloved '83 36' diesel pusher I have owned her 17 years. I posted a couple of pics of her in the album 1983 FTX. My second is in foretravels through the years. A 1971 24' undergoing a TOTAL restoration.

I have a 1989 U280 3208 cat . I've had the coach 3 years and all i've done so far is replace the stripes. That's a job I wont undertake again but it did greatly improve the rig. We dont travel much distance wise, mainly camping and fishing trips on state park campgrounds within the state of Arkansas. This is enough coach for wife and I but I may buy a later model rig. I wouldn't mind having a side mounted radiator allowing for easier access to belts and other engine parts. The next one I buy wont need new stripes.

Here is our new "BABY"--a 1989 FT GRAND VILLA with the DD 8.2 DP and only 63,ooo miles. It sat in storage for 9 years!!

We haven't done a thing to it as the previous owner did a terrific job maintaining the coach along with a custom paint job and a lot of new parts such as tires, awnings, King dome, refrig, microwave, air cond., etc

Wow.  Your coach is in mint condition and proves once again that Foretravel builds long-lasting quality motorhomes.
