Well, we are still mulling it over, while it has been for sale,  my wife and i got lucky after alot of hard work, and found a 2001 chinook, that had been garaged, plugged in for most of its life and had 4300 miles,  well, we had to buy it as we can resell it tomorrow, for about plus 10k, and now find that it is like a mini foretravel in some ways, except that we can park at a restaurant and eat dinner etc.....Its good to hear the moral support...hopefully we can keep them both....The foretravel, especially  the 99 is one of the better mechanical devices we have ever had, and my wife desperatly wants it back..really can not understand why it has not sold, but after walking thru PPL in houston the other day, i could see alot of lower end coaches with slides at very low prices, and can see how the uninformed could end up saying '" gee honey, 4 slides and only 75k"  etc

Maybe this is some kind of divine providence trying to show us that we need to keep it.....

I have a born free and a Foretravel. Might trade the BF off for a sprinter conversion.

Interesting, the born free was at the top of our list as well....have to say we really like the chinook,  but we really love the Foretravel......for a period of months we just took the dog and the pickup, and stayed in a motel.....then started thinking about a b class...it's almost a must have for shorter two or three day trips that we do a lot of....of course for more than that the u320 shines.....time will tell. Glad we are not the only ones....

Gorgeous Coach! hope for your sake you don't have to sell it. Wish we could have afforded to bought one that nice at that price.

Can both of the couches in this layout fold out into beds? I'm trying hard to convince my wife on this layout. The one thing we agree on is that the desk is a waste for us. Can't come up with a idea to put in its place.

I cut my desk done and put the cutoff part on a hinge. The one thing about FT is you can remodel them with no problem.

the couches fold out and meet in the middle to create a large bed...cant remember if just one extends, or if both do,,,but the end result is a bed from window to window.....

Never argue with divine providence. Keep the Foretravel!

Mike, here's what they look like in my 95. I would think the couch size in mine would be close to yours. We really like the two couch setup in our slideless 95, much better than the more common couch-table-recliner. Like you, I don't have much use for a desk. Just a matter of personal preference.
