Geez you're racking up those miles John. How about some serious miles and you run some of them Limearitas (Lambaritas to you) out to me at Quartzsite?

We sold our coach after putting 110,000 miles on it during our 12 years of owning it.  Now Wendy is the new owner , full time, hope she puts another 100,000 fun miles on her.                    ^.^d

I have a 1987 Foretravel Gran Villa pusher with 76000 miles on her with a 460 ford. The previous owner replaced the fridge, the generator, the water heater, new shocks and new tires. He really loved her and took really good care of her. I am truly blessed to have found this deal when I did. The engine has 40 thousand miles on it and the tranny has 3000 miles on it. I've replaced the dashboard ignition and the engine solenoid. She came with a small tv over the windshield and a large tv in the back bedroom. Has a really nice AM FM radio with  a cd player in the dash.  What more can  a man ask for?

Recently purchased 1987 Gran Villa 36 Ft. long,460 Ford engine with 40,000 miles on it, new tranny has 3000 miles on it, coach has 75000 miles on it, new 5000 watt genny new fridge, new tires. Am both excited and scared out of my wits at the size of this beast. Love it but need time to become accustomed to it's size.  I'm sure it will take time to experience all the secrets this RV has to offer. Any and all advice gratefully accepted.

Our 1995 U320SE currently has 179738.7 miles on it (original engine and transmission) and is ready for many, many more. I would like to live long enough to actually wear it out, but I suspect that task may fall to one of our grandchildren. What a great coach!

Bought ours in 2015, it had 87,000 plus or minus a few.

5-1/2 years later, she now has 133,000, would love to put another 133,000 on her before hanging up the keys.

I enjoy driving it...... even on our worn out, pot hole and patch filled interstates.

Took a trip 2 years ago with a fellow from down south who bought a new Foretravel in the late 90's.  Got going and never looked back.  He had 342,000 on that coach and it looked and performed great.  He is not a full timer either.  Not using his name as I didn't ask his permission but it's a fact.  God bless him.  Wonderful fellow.

What is your model # under the VIN?

Located under the VIN on the ID Plate

Example: F 03 6024 4023 AGDS U320T E31

03 = Year

6024 = Coach Build Unit #

4023 = Internal Designations

AGDS = Floorplan

U320T = Chassis

E31 = Internal Engine Designations

our 1998 U295 had only 21k when we bought it in November, now it has 22k!
I'm doing a lot more reading than I anticipated.... but this forum has been hugely educational so far.
I like projects, so that helps, but it is in great shape so far. There's been several fixes completed and I'm learning lots every week.
I hope I get to a point where I can actually add to the knowledge base instead of raiding it!

Pretty close.  Air filter got wet.  It was a cheap one put in by PO.  Pretty much destroyed the engine.  North of $25K to rebuild, insurance covered the repair.

AIr Filter Failure Warning! Don't get Dusted!


Who are you using for insurance?  Is that extended warranty or something else.  I've been looking for extended warranty, but most companies are telling me they cant write a policy for a 2002 coach because of the age.

Thanks!

I have made four short trips.  Maybe 38 now.

Working on suspension air leaks now.  Will need service and new tires sometime this year.

Entertainment system ?  Not so good. Many problems and I have little interest in fixing them.

No major problems that I know about.
