"NEW" to us U320, It's a beauty!

Greetings from Connecticut.
Our first post and we're very excited to say that we were very fortunate to find and purchase an extremely well cared for and beautiful  2002 U320 in Tuscan from some great Foretravel forum Owners!

Having spent a lot of time looking at various brands, narrowing our search to eventually  Foretravel. It became very apparent that not only are these wonderful machines with remarkable interiors, they are also real classics. Oh, and one of the most amazing features of the brand are the owners contributions on this forum. The skills of the members that contribute are truly amazing.  The comraderie and  friendships that these coaches facilitate is really something special to observe.

Many thanks to all on this forum that have personally advised us, and to the many others whom via your posts we learned so much! And now we'll likely really need your help even  more as we explore and become part of this group.

A special thank you to Jeff and Carol who are truly wonderful folks and have transformed and maintained their FT to impeccable standards. We look forward to seeing you guys again.

We are eager to start exploring this great country, and Canada too, in our  "NEW TO US FORTRAVEL". We hope to experience all that you-all have and meeting some of the great folks from the forum on the road soon!

Best regards to all, and thank you!

Welcome!  Glad you discovered this forum before making your purchase.  It will continue to be a great help when you need to fix something or make upgrades (hard to do in a U320).

I have not seen the coach you purchased, but know of the owners, and from what I understand you got a beauty!
Hope ya'll have a great holiday season, and we hope to run into you somewhere down the road.

Congratulations! As others have written, you are getting an outstanding coach. In addition, it's heartwarming to know that their "baby" is going to a good home!

Jeff and Kristen, nice to see you posted and now you see why these coach's and owners are one of the best.
It has been fun talking to you in all our numerous PMs etc and phone talks and really glad both of you and Carol& Jeff came to a happy conclusion. Sorry I was not able to meet you both in CT when delivering the other coach to the Gotta's but feel we will one day meet maybe in the "middle" somewhere.
It has been fun helping both new CT owners of FT out in some way and as mentioned if I can help some more feel free.
Take care

Getting a coach like that is like having your first child, a lot of trial and error
but you do make it.

Jeff & Kristen, Welcome to Foretravel ownership!  Congratulations and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've landed one of the better coaches from Jeff & Carol. It has so many upgrades and so well kept.  It will take you lots of time to learn all the features of this coach.  So be patient and enjoy the surprises even after you've owned it for a long time.

All the best for future excursions and fun travels around this great country!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year...
