Nac week of 9/22 (split from Re: Used Appliance Giveaway)

Chuck if you are still at FOT on Sunday 29th...Mike will be traveling there to have a check up on ours. :o  Hopefully y'all will get to see each other.  Are y'all going to go to the FT rally in October?  We plan on going.  Would love to see the remodel of your FT.  Tell Jeanne hello for me. ^.^d

I'm not sure how long we will be at Camp FOT...depends on their work schedule.  Since 1 day at FOT = 1 Coach Buck (on average), we will hope to keep our stay short!  If we're still there, we'll be sure to say "Hi".

Well, we made it to Camp FOT in one piece!  The new tow dolly worked great - didn't even know it was back there.  Looks strange in the rear view camera seeing a car "following" so close behind the coach.  Several coaches parked in the FOT lot, but nowhere near full.  Nobody around - very quiet.  I'm sure the activity will pick up tomorrow morning.

Stopped overnight at Holiday COE Park, Benbrook Lake (south of Ft. Worth) on the way to FOT:

In honor of Foreforum members being in town, Clear Springs is having a 30% off on catfish suppers this Wednesday evening.  Forum members and their guests are invited, meet there about 6 pm?

Hope to see at least some of you!

John,

We are at FOT in the last bay, west end of shop, back side.  We will be over there around 08:00 or so, and probably hang around most of the day.  Stop by to say "Hi" if you're "in the neighborhood".  What are you getting done to your coach at MOT?

Mike,

Thanks for the invite, but we'll have to pass this time.  Our traveling companion (Bella) is having a little "anxiety" with all the disruption and confusion of getting the coach worked on.  We don't want to leave her unattended in the motel room in case she might disturb the neighbors.  Plus (my DW reminds me) I have to eat only gluten-free and have not checked out the menu at Clear Springs for non-gluten entrees.  We'll take a raincheck!

I regret missing Wednesday evening at Clear Springs, but I have a couple of appointments near home late Wednesday. I expect to travel to NAC on Thursday morning to pick up my coach. Marilyn is staying near home. I haven't decided whether to stay over until Friday, or make the round trip.

We had a great time and I w ill say that Chucks remodel is looking spectacular.  It really is breathing new life into an older coach.  I would put it up against any new coach in looks.

We will be at MOT on Monday 9/29 through Tuesday at least, maybe longer. MOT has a U320 that we want to look at, considering buying it. We would like to meet any Foretravelers who may be around.

I know that coach. It is Phils and I walked thru it yesterday. It is in good shape but not updated at all. I thought about trading for it but figured it would take about 50K to get it where my coach is now.  But it has good bones and I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had not already purchased my coach.

John, I think you are thinking about a different coach. This one belongs to a guy named Dan. It has headlight upgrade and others.

I saw one that came in on Thursday as well at FOT. I guess you will get two to choose from then.

No it was a 2002 none slide 42 foot. One of two made that year with no slide but a great floor plan.
