As father time eventually catches up with all of us, our beloved Foretravels will go back on the market to be viewed by prospective buyers. Since this forum has such a wealth of owner information, it will perhaps the greatest source for those new to the world of RVs. I don't think it's redundant to post questions or an experience we have had whether it's bulkhead issues, air bag problems or refrigerator recalls.

I have to agree with Don Hay in the above post. The assumption that everyone reads each post and responds to every poll is  skewed to the point of view of the poll taker. Trying to minimize the extent of an issue can lead newbies down a road with a detour or two or even a bad bump.

I try and read as many as I can with one eye on a Netflix movie and the other on my laptop but with so many posts, I can't hope to read each one or respond to every point of view.

I read about 1% of the postings. Too busy to read all.

As a very new wannabe, I realize everything needs attention and from time to time an update is needed tires, brakes and numerous other items including checking the structure.
What sounds like a very easy and simple check and repair if needed would be expected on any vehicle when they get to the 10 year old stage and beyond.
All this talk does not sway me away from the Foretravel, instead I feel more confident buying a used Foretravel Coach maybe due to the honesty found on this forum.
I do try to be clear headed about our funds and expect some things just happen without becoming a panic.
Thank you,
Chub

I do not understand this poll:
 
There is no way to vote if you did not have a bulkhead separation.
 
There is no way to calculate those who did and did not see the poll or did not respond to the poll.
 
What is the purpose of this poll?
 
Just sayin',

I noticed that also.  I am unable to participate since I don't have the problem.

Two interestng items, No 38' has an issue and two 45' did, first I thought the 45 did not start until after 2006 with a new designed frame structure.  Would like to know the model and year of these 45' failures ? 
Just wondering
Thanks

Expecially on other forums by persons who do not have a clue!  They seem to want to play this up as a major fault of all Foretravels.  A fault that should prevent one from considering a Foretravel purchase, when it isn't.

+1

I just saw it being harped on by someone who admitted no personal knowledge of Foretravels, yet using it to warn people away from the brand on a class C forum.  Yet when you try to correct and explain with factual information, you get chastised that it's not a Foretravel forum and to stop posting about them  >:D

Steve, there is a "sticky" thread at the top of the Technical Discussions section that gives lots of good information.
