We found our coach here, and it was really nice to deal with the owners who had owned, maintained and upgraded the coach. I would highly recommend checking with Carol & Jeff Savournin. They appear to be great people with an outstanding coach.

Also, some people really prefer a shorter coach, but we researched carefully and found that a 40-ft coach was the optimum length for us. That another reason I would highly recommend checking into Carol and Jeff's coach.

Roger is spot on. When I posted a while ago and said we'd looked for ours for a year, he posted "Is that all?" It's a matter of not knowing the right questions to ask, otherwise, in our case, get the Coach Buck stash out! :'(

Stay on this forum for a year or so and you should be way more knowledgeable than most other folks. 

 Met a fellow who had his coach for 20 years plus ( not a forum member) and claimed he knew every inch of his coach, and he was a wealth of info BUT,  he did not know that his rear bulkhead was in very bad shape ( major Fiberglas delamination and severe rust jacking). Point is , he would have known to look there because of this forum. I did.

Good point!  Charlie and Eileen - if you more details on what you want, feel free to post and let the forum know.  There certainly are some nice coaches in the classifieds or, as with Jeff and Carol's, one's soon to be that aren't yet listed.  There may be others who are thinking of or planning to sell but haven't posted publicly about it.  Jor's recent purchase of Peter and Beth's coach is an example of this.

In this case, you had two couples that had run FTs and knew what was what. Talk about a win-win!  I'd bet this was bittersweet for Peter and Beth, and a slam-dunk for JOR & DW!  ^.^d  I'd say, a perfect example of how cool this forum is!!!

Contact Jason Haskins at MOT. He will do a good job for you.

Anyone at MOT can help you just remember in most cases they are paid by the seller not you as the buyer.  Do your own investigation as to the condition of the coach.  A third party such as Brett is well worth the money.  Michael also lives in Nacogdoches and can assist you.

I can't say enough good about our experience at MOT and we're filling out closing papers as we speak. Our salesman was Jeff Bowser, who also owns a Foretravel, and he never hesitated to any request me made regarding moving coaches around so that we could see them side-by-side, running us up and down the road while I walked through the coaches in motion and several hundred other odd requests we made - ok I made. Make no mistake, if you spend much time at all at MOT, you will talk to everyone there and each employee takes great pride in sharing their knowledge and love of the Foretravel (mostly) coaches that most all of them have grown up being a part of.

Like Reese said, Jason will also do a good job for you and you'll likely deal with him no matter who your saleperson is. There is definitely one person there whom you need to ask for if you find a coach that you're very interested in and that is Keith Risch. He is a seasoned veteran Foretravel technician and he will quickly overload you with more knowledge regarding a particular model than you can possibly retain. After spending some time with Keith, walking around and through the coaches we narrowed down to, he quickly educated me to the point that we made our decision. We were so impressed with his knowledge that we hired him to perform our PPI/PDI.  We made our decision and are in the process of closing and Keith still sends us information about our coach - he's obsessed with those babies.

Regardless of who you choose, they'll ALL take good care of you.

Best of luck in your search - you're going to have a BLAST!

Jason is sales manager plus another management function

Now that you have bought....what was it.....and as I wrote, all sales good people.....now the longer real relationships begin.

Mr. Risch is special, but he cannot do it all.  The good news is that while he is expert it seems in all phases, and diagnosis, you will not be disappointed in the other service techs.  They are a great team.

I asked James Johnson a question one time.  He could have guessed, etc....but instead did the right thing.....said I do not know, I will find out.  That defines them...a team effort.  You made a good choice of where to buy, the techs will be your valued connections!  I know we value each of them, faith in their service....and looking at some remod work next!

And, what did you buy?

2005 U320 42' is what we settled on - very impressed with the condition of this coach. Haggled with Jeff and Jason for a couple days and now signing on the dotted line today with a planned delivery of Sept 2. We're ecstatic!
