Foretravel want to be

Happy Thanksgiving. My husband and I returned from a trip to MN yesterday and finally saw a Grand Villa and a newer Foretravel on the road. We live in the Tampa Bay Area and wonder if any Foretravel owners are in the area, would be attending the Tampa RV Super Show and willing to meet us. We are interested in Foretravel after reading several forums, looking to be full timers in the near future. From what we read, Foretravels are well built coaches.
We appreciate the wealth of information from the enthusiastic Foretravel owners on the forum. We look forward to learning more.

Welcome Sue, quite a few Foretravels in the Tampa area....about 35 miles east of Tampa just north of Lakeland is a gated community called Mount Olive Shores, which I believe was started by Foretravel owners.  It's chock full of Foretravels, & I'd be glad to give you a little tour & a closer look at one of the late 90's coaches which I think are the most classically beautiful ones around!  I'll be at the show too but may not bring the coach, & I live in South Pasadena, in the St. Pete. Beach area.

Sue,

My coach is at Parliament coach in St Pete. Talk to Chris in service if you would like to see it. I get there Wednesday to move it to Port Richey for Mom to stay in over the winter, and I leave Sat AM. Would you like to connect while I am there this week?

Hi Sue, Welcome.  Next time you are in MN give us a call.  We are in Hastings. FT is in the "barn" and easy to see.

Welcome Sue,
We intend to be at the Tampa RV Super Show.  Would love to assist in your understanding of all things Foretravel.  We will be volunteering at the show but can certainly find time to help a potential FT Owner and we'll give you as much of a tour of our coach as you would like.  We love to do this and you just have to let us know how we can be of help.
Neal (and Brenda)

Unfortunately we won't be anywhere near Tampa this winter, but I do want to congratulate you on deciding to check out Foretravels. I had wanted one for a number of years, and we finally found just the right one for us in late 2013. We have been extremely pleased with it. As far as I'm concerned, Foretravels have just the right balance of engineering, design, styling and various other features. If you go ahead and purchase one I don't think you'll be disappointed.

We are overwhelmed by the responses and generous offers to assist us with FT knowledge. Thanks to all.
Miz Dani, let us know when it is convienent for you. We didn't realize there were FTs in the area or a community like MOShores.
Karl, looking forward to meeting you and learning about full timing, our dream.
Neal and Ed, really looking forward to meeting you all at the show.
Tim, would really appreciate the opportunity to connect with you while in the area and see your coach. Can you PM us with details please?

This is my first time posting so unsure of communication etiquette.
This is so exciting,
Sue

We live in Riverview and have an 03 40ft u320 double slide, don't know about the super show as there is also a large tractor show that weekend, so may be there, but otherwise the  coach is in our yard. They are a fine coach. We have been Foretravel coach owners for 12 years.

We had a fun visit with Tim Fiedler today. He  gave us a thorough tour of his beautiful coach. We can see why you all are fans of FTs.  The build quality is  impressive. He shared so much information we are taking time to process so we are ready with questions when we visit Mount Olive Shores this Saturday. Thank you Tim!

Your very welcome! Jeff and Sue are terrific people, happy to meet new friends and share some Foretravel love.

Might have a prospect for a future FT purchase for full timing. Really nice to meet them in person.

Friends don't let friends buy SOB......

You should talk to Gary Omel. What price range, year(s) and model(s) are you comfortable with?

Been trying for half an hour, PM's are not going thru to you all (above: Pans, Pillsburys, & Brennemans) so can you all please send me a PM with your contact info, Jim & Sue aren't able to do PM's yet & would love to touch bases with you all at the show Sat. or Sunday.  I already have the Beanes' info.

Thanks in advance!
