Foretravel on the way to improvements

What a wonderful day it is to read in the Foretravel Motorcader: "Our sights are firmly set on the future as we start the year with our new TravelRide III chassis by Spartan, undertake our first Prevost conversions in more than twenty years, starting the Sprinter project, and we begun planning for a new model....." Sounds to me that Foretravel is re-inventing itself, a good sign for all owners.
We all can drive proudly knowing our manaufacture is strong and looking towards the future.

I suggested they look to a prevost shell to convert. I would have purchased one if they had done that earlier. The sprinter is just a van conversion and that market is saturated and they are late to the process.  The Spartan chassis puts them head to head with Newmar and Entegra and those have lower price points.  There is now not much difference between them so price will matter. The prevost shell is where they need to end up. Pricing is more like the range they want to be in.

It's not that easy. First you have to get there before everyone else. Then you have to wait for the first two to arrive. Finally, you have to enter the party before the next one shows up. As career military, I do understand "Hurry up and wait!"
