Michelle, Thank you. I was planning on stopping in Nac on my way back but because of the layover in Mississippi I wasn't able to.

Larry, Yours is coming soon. I'm sure of it.

Old Hippie, Thank you. I already have. She drives so smooth! Never missed a lick going up the mountains in Arizona and California. What a beauty!

I finally made it back to Torrance, CA at midnight on Saturday. Just in time to go over to a friends house to enjoy the Super Bowl. Now its time to cut down a tree down on my side yard so I can make a home for the beautiful beast!

Thank you again to everyone here on the Forum for all of your support and especially to Gary Omel for his help! What a wonderful group of people.

Greg, If you made it alllll, the way home with out any boo boo's, I will sign your Foretravel RV license.  You are a very quick "learner". I am glad you enjoyed your coach on the way home.
We will be in Santa Paula sometime in late July for about two weeks, then north to Lodi for the grape harvest. Lets try to get together. We might try two nights at Golden Shores near the Long Beach harbor so I can show Sandy the Long Beach area.

Congrats and welcome Greg & Nettie! We live near Cleburne Tx and happen to own a look a like coach. Ours is a 97 that we purchased about 4 months ago. Ours was painted by James Stallings now at Extreme in Nac. He worked in Dallas when our coaches were new and FT sent custom paint jobs to him.  He will be doing some touch-up work on our coach soon. Safe travels to you and if your route brings you through the DFW area, give us a shout! There are 4 FT owners within 5 miles of me.

Greg and Nettie,

Congrats on your acquiring one of the very best ever produced -- Large Motor Coaches. I am also in California (Ventura County). If you are in the area, it would be great to meet you. I have been restoring my '95 for about 18 months now, and have learned an incredible amount from Gary 'O and this forum.

Welcome to the "Village".

Be safe out there,
Michael

Hi John & Genni, Thank you. Your coach sure looks just like ours. She is a pretty one! We will be sure to look you all up on our travels. Good luck with the touch up paint job. I believe James was the one who did our paint job also.

Michael, Thank you. Large is really what she is. We love it! I've been watching your restoration on the forum since I joined back in early 2013. Nice work going on there. Gary O is the best, no doubt about it. We look forward to meeting you on our travels up the coast.
