Poll - are you an original owner?

June 11, 2016, 09:27:39 am

I am curious - how many owners do we have on this forum that are original owners?

Are you an original owner? Or did you purchase your coach from another person who was the original owner? This is something that I am curious about with the members of this forum. Looking forward to seeing your replies.

We are owner 4.
Owner 1 from CA, for about 10 years, Owner 2 had it for about 6 years, the owner three for nine months (wife had medical issue) and we have had for about three years. Many more to come!

We are the fifth owners. Never found out who was the OO (they sold it to #2 with only 11K, (no service records). #2, 3 & 4 kept detailed service records, especially forum member # 3!

4th owner of our '99, First passed away and grandchildren sold it to Ron Hawkins of Innovative Coach Works, He sold it to his aunt and uncle when the uncle passed away, we purchased from his aunt. With this kind of history, records are very hard to come up with.

Third owner of our '81 First owner had it custom built for him in 1980 second owner parked it in a trailer park and lived in it to go through college. After getting married he sold it to us in Dec. of '94 with 43,000 miles on it. It is a keeper so I guess we have two Foretravels.

Hmmmm. Which owner are you, Bob?

I "believe" I'm the third.

We are the 2nd owner. The original owner traded her in Sept 2005 for a new 2005 U320 40' at Stouts RV in Indianapolis, Ind.
Stouts was a Foretravel dealer at the time. Their pre-delivery service was just outstanding.
I have managed to obtain all the service records from when the factory first sold her to current.

We are proud 3rd owners. Original owner, Lee Cutsinger, purchased it from FOT of California; Mike Doran purchased it from Lee on 4/28/2005, and we purchased it from sweet Mike and Elayne Doran on 4/17/13. When we purchased the coach from Mr. Doran, he was sad that we couldn't talk to the original owner because he had since passed away; but he did get us on the phone with the original salesman who sold the coach to Mr. Cutsinger back in 1997.

We are the second or maybe third owners. The first owner traded it back to Foretravel. It was not on consignment. So is FOT owner#2? Then, we bought it in August 2004.

We were the second owners. I negotiated with the original owner before he traded for a new coach, so wound up buying from Dave Robertson at MOT. Now, I am on consignment at MOT. Have had the last trip.

We are the second owners; our coach was a year old when we bought it, although we had originally looked at new 2003's and 04's the prior fall, but didn't find one that suited us. Our next coach is currently planned to be purchased new.

I wonder if you are interested in the percentage of forum members who are original owners? If so you would want my reply... We are not original owners.

The first owner was original, the second took over at 96000 miles and we got at 135000 miles

Hopefully Bob isn't trying to glean statistics from the question - with as many lurkers as we have this isn't going to be remotely close to scientific or representative of the forum membership

FWIW
I am the second owner and bought it from the original owner. I have the original paperwork from them buying it. I got it with about 40K miles on it. I'm a lucky fellow. Now it has about 60K on it. Best of travels.
