HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!

As of 3:00 p.m. today, we are among the newest of the Foretravel community, having purchased a 2000 U320 from Stewart @ MOT. We are spending our first night here listening to it rain & sleet. Low of 24 expected tonight. No telling what it will look like outside when we wake up tomorrow. Hope to meet some of you during our travels.

Welcome! We've been spending the nights in our coach for the past week, and today it almost made it up to 30. As long as both furnaces were running it is nice and warm inside.

Congrats on the new coach.  Is it the one slide red one that they had out front for a while?  It looked like a good coach.  I will say be careful if it is icing out and you have the slide out when you bring it in.  Puncturing the bladder is not fun.

Yes, it is the red & white one. Thanks for the heads up regarding the slide when retracting. MOT is taking care of a few things for us so we will be here in Nacogdoches until sometime Thursday.

Dennis,
Congrats, and donot be in a hurry to go anywhere as you will most likely have hundreds of questions while your enjoying the new to you coach, little things like what / where light switch ?  For me 6 yrs ago, I only spent half a day and thought I had all the answers, biggie surprise as things started to unfold, safe combo, door combo, no end to the ?? as I became aware.
Cheers

Thank you to Dave & all for your replies. We get the "how to" classes on Thursday. We have been wanting a motorhome for years. My sister & her husband got a Foretravel early last year and it made our desire for one even stronger. We liked their floor plan and were sold on the quality of the coach. We have been searching for one ever since.  When we saw this one, it had just about everything on our want list and we knew it was the one for us.

Welcome to the FT family and specially the Forum!
  The more you get to know and use your coach the more you folks will appreciate your wise decision of getting a Foretravel. Specially when you really understand how they are made to last by just being regular with the basic Mainainance.
  Wish you all the best and looking forward to meeting the two of you down the road sometime soon!

After 10 months of ownership, we love our coach more today than yesterday (what song is that?) and this forum has really helped me through this period.
Enjoy!

welcome to the family of FT owners and here on the forum. Only downside is that you probably don't have anything to look forward to shopping for is upgrades for your FT, or a different FT. Oh yeah, and many years of fun and enjoyment!
