Tell me about this Rally. I am sitting in Nac at MOT right now in a newly purchased 2003 U320, 4029. Mot is going over it with a fine tooth comb to our satisfaction... Just toured the Factory,,,,After 15 years of fulltiming in a Teton 5th wheel, which we recently sold, I'm IMPRESSED........This is our FIRST motorhome...
Will be leaving here in next couple days headed back to summer base in Black Hills near Custer...

Many of you have purchased a PressurePro tire Monitoring System from us....Guess I'm one of ya now.... We love this COACH!!!!

Sorry I don't know the ropes on the Forum yet, maybe I can learn...

We are planning on attending this rally. We were at the fall rally of this group two years ago and met a lot of very nice folks and had some good tech discussions in addition to a lot of interesting day trips in the northern front range area of colorado.

Hi Mike (and Pat)!

Congratulations on joining the Foretravel family! You've picked a great coach and joined a great group on the Foreforums. And we're among the folks who've bought a Pressure Pro system from you.

We're currently at the Gypsy Journal rally in Elkhart, and met Keith and Donna Green (03 U320) who mentioned that you had gotten a Foretravel. Are you going to be at the Escapade in Goshen this year?

Unfortunately we won't be able to attend the 4 Corners rally, since we'll be in California for the first half of October.

Anyone planning to attend the Lemon Rally in Quartzsite this winter?

You will not regret it... Congrats! A Foretravel was our first - now we're on our second and sticking with it awhile longer... Grandbaby #11 (Paul Cooper Head) may arrive as soon as Wednesday - but we are sticking to our 'give the family some space' vow and heading out to Maryland and Pennsylvania in mid October. We love our 95 U320 and I wish we could get out more often. Only 2 trips this year... But the fall trip will give us cool weather (which doesn't exist in FL right now) and the 'changing of the leaves'...

We should be in Nac in the first half of October. I would LOVE to meet any of you who are there. If all goes well with closing of house and coach inspection(house is way dicier than coach!), we have all intentions of purchasing the Stalling's '95 U320. All I have to do is get through the next month of perpetual garage sale/packing/purging/giving/sorting/haveIlostmymind moving dementia. However ... since I basically have not slept because of stressing for the last month, I may not wake up in time to greet you.

Hey, Mike and Pat - we, too have purchased a Pressure Pro from you - glad you have moved over to the Foretravel family, you're gonna love it here!

Thanks everyone.......We are still at MOT,,,, The ice maker didn't work and they spent almost all day removing the fridg and replacing the water line on the back of it...The heat is tremendious and the humidity is even worse. Most everything is taken care of, but we decided to spend the night and make sure it makes ice cubes......Seth spent several hours explaining the surround sound, dvd, vhs, dtv, and the bedroom Bose wave sound system to us.......Now if we can just remember all that.

The factory provided us with a years free menbership in the Motorcade Club and furnished MOT our decals which were installed on the front and rear of the Coach. We are officially No 16917................

Would love to attend the 4 cornors Rally and will do our best...Right now things are rather in a termoil.

Hope to head towards the Black Hills tomorrow.....but we're not gona rush things....

Mike

Mike, take your time and make sure you are 110 percent happy before you leave. Fixes easy there, less so once you have left.
Good Luck!

Dang. . .that's what you get from selling Pressure Pro. . .head of the line privileges with the Motorcade. We joined months ago, and our number is 16993!!! Hey, does having been a background actor on "Boston Legal" count for anything???

You are (as you know) getting a fabulous coach. Many of us drool when we see all of the neat fiberglass upgrades done my James.

Boston Legal! I loved that show. James Spader and William Shatner were a real hoot. Did you ever get to talk with either of them? What shows/scenes were you in?

Hello Everybody,

As I live in Colorado Springs, I would love to come over to meet some of the members. DW and I currently own SOB (Hawkins Motor Coach), but are actively looking for a FT that meets our needs; my goal is within four or five months.

The 4 Corners chapter rally Oct 5 - 9, 2010 was a success.
19 coaches in attendance from as far away as Calif & New York.
Dolly Fergason the Past International President was in attendance.
We took the Pikes Peak Cog rail, visited Van Briggle Pottery, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, US Olympic Training Center, Western Mining Museum, Garden of the Gods, US Air Force Academy.
Had some great food at the Mason Jar, Zio's Italian Restaurant , the Airplane Restaurant & a pot luck dinner.

I got to put some faces with the names of some of our Foreforum members, Mike McCall, Jerry Galliant, Norm Holloway, Bob Hall.
Got to catch up with some old friends Barry Leavitt & Cindy Grossman, Harvey & Audrey Nelson, John & Nancy Alguire and of course Ken & Ann Lemon who work so tirelessly on these events.

Discussed some technical coach issues and differences between the model years.
I would like to thank Jerry Galliart, Barry Leavitt & Rick Arnold for allowing me to take some of their technical manuals home with me for scanning & I promise they will be returned promptly.
All in all it was a good time and memorable.

A little taste of the event for those who could not come.

Foretravel "4 Corners" Colorado Springs Rally - Oct 2010

Barry,
Great slideshow and summary.
Glad to see that the Fergusons, Shermans and Alguires made it from the Boothbay Harbor, North Atlantic Chapter Rally (9/15 thru 9/18) all the way to the Branson Grandvention and on to the Colorado Springs 4 Corners Rally in such short order. Whew! Bet they are in California by now! BTW, Dolly was the FT Motorcade Club International President during the 2009 year...............Dick (and Frieda) Ward -- 2010's and I haven't heard about 2011.
So they made Bob (Ferguson) unhook from his trailer? He doesn't do that very often. Only a few isolated times throughout their 28,000 miles traveled during Dolly's Presidency tour. They sure have a nice matching coach and trailer. I worked on them in Boothbay, re: FoFum participation, but I don't see Dolly pitching in , yet.
Did I see Steve and Jackie Jones in the background of one of the pictures?
Best Regards and THANKS,
Neal
