New to us Coach

July 23, 2014, 11:07:48 pm

I am very happy to say that we finalized our purchase of a 2003 38' U320 today.
FOT agreed to repair all items on our punch list.
Tyle , Paul and Curtis were all gentlemen and a pleasure to do business with.
I would also like to thank all who offered support and guidance especially
Brett (Wolfe10), Mike (Michael & Jackie) and Gary (GFM).
We hope to meet fellow ForeForums members in the future.
Thank You--Jim & Doreen

Jim, i know you are excited about your new Foretravel. And do not need affirmation about your purchase, but I thought I would volunteer that while you were putting this deal together, I got a call to talk to me very favorably about your intention to purchase, that this seemed a very good coach and wanted to let me know. It was good to hear before you finished the deal. So good future I think, only one thing...

Be sure to post a photo on the Forum as soon as you can slow down a moment to post it. I am sure FOT will help you as you move along and find things you may want to change to make it yours, as they say, and a few things that will need attention as you learn the coach.

Cheers, and best wishes for safe and happy travels

If you need tow installed or braking system for that Tahoe look at M&G in Athens, Texas. Not far away and can do it all for you including break-away if you wish. DAN

Great news and best wishes on future travels.

If you do the air brake system for your towed SUV, M&G, can be do it in an hour, with an appointment, to your coach above their full length pit, and the SUV in the next bay. They have over night hook up if needed. Love the system on my Avalanche.

Welcome aboard! We think you will really enjoy it. Our only unhappiness with ours is that we aren't able to find time to use it as much as we would like!

Thanks for the info on M&G that is my choice for braking system.
Need advice on a Tow Bar for 2008 Tahoe--weighs about 5500 lbs.
Thanks--Jim

Same set up for my Avalanche with topper. Over kill for the feather lite Saturn wagon. I really like the small and light weight removable parts that lock into the Avalanche. I really don't like the Road Master heavy removable parts and cross bar that came with the Saturn.

The difference is handling all the parts. The Blue Ox parts all fit into a small hanging storage drawer in my propane/fuel bay. I can gather the tail light wiring cable , the small air line, the break away brake control cable, the 2 safety cables and the two removable parts, and make one trip to the back. The Road Master system, is two huge removable steel 1' parts one in each hand. Then another trip with the 3' long steel cross bar. Those three parts are locked on with loose pins that can get lost! Then the last trip with the tail light wiring cable, the small air line, the break away brake control cable, the 2 safety cables. None of this is a big deal, till you do it in the rain or the dark of night, or want to store them for your park stay.

Thanks for the help with toad setup.
Will order the Blue Ox and contact M&G about install when I go back down to pick up coach

Hmmm, I have a Blue Ox baseplate and towbar and an InvisiBrake. The towbar stays on the coach (I put a lock on it) and the InvisiBrake is under the back seat of the Jeep. It takes only a couple of minutes to hook up or unhook. All connections, and everything needed, is right there at the back of the coach and front of the Jeep. No getting anything from anywhere else.
