It is the season, -10° Saturday morning just in time for the Minneapolis St Paul RV and Camping Show. Mid 30's by Monday.  It is always a big draw. We are thinking about going. Fun to see what is new, get ideas.  We never see anything as nice as out FT.

You got that right, Roger. Our 27 yr old coach is still better than a lot of those we see at shows.
Our coach makes me proud when I open a drawer in SOB's top of the line coach and see particle board faced with a very thin wood veneer or the nitestand next to the bed already a "little loose"

We went to the Houston RV show with Bill today. I don't think we ran into any other Foretravelers, but Bill may correct me on that. There were lots of coaches of all different sizes and prices, but I didn't see anything that looked like a Foretravel. The only "new" coach I saw was the new 5'er from Tiffin. It was sitting next to a Mobile Suites, and there was an obvious difference in quality.

We looked at a couple of motor homes, including a Tiffin, and, franky, I wasn't impressed. They either looked cheesy to me or to glitzy. The Tiffin at least was all light colors, but getting to the engine on all of them will be only for the skinny and agile.

Didn't meet up with any other Foretravelers but did meet a previous neighbor from Rayford Crossing.  Really enjoyed spending the day with David and JoAnn (Mr & Mrs kb0zke) and looking at all the new RV's.  Lots of young family's there and RV's to accommodate them.

I went to RV show in Houston today.  Didn't see anyone or recognize them if they were there whilst I was there.  I wandered through several motorhomes and frankly was not overly impressed.  I saw some I liked but certainly liked mine and didn't feel the urge to do anything rash.
 I did see something that I liked though and though I don't need it at present with my domestic, I thought it might be of interest to some who have the double door 120v refers.  It is a metal latch that attaches to the door with screws (or 3M tape?) that prevents opening underway.  It looks like it would be nice.  I came home and looked up a link and it is available on Amazon.

Sorry we missed you.

I should have mentioned that there were quite a few families there. I paid particular attention to the teens, and every one of them seemed to be interested and engaged in the looking. None of them looked like they were bored. That bodes well for the industry.

I put those on my Maytag 4 years ago they are great and look good.  I did use the stainless screws that came with it.  They only go through the thin door skin nothing vital.
