Re: Future used Foretravel U320 purchase and renovation

My advice is, to buy as soon as you find your "right" rv. Often in the past, when new motorised rv sales were off, used prices rose. All is not certain. Your "remodel" items often take much longer than you planned, as documented by the years going bye, since and as some of the forum members projects progress.
Last and most important, this gives you time to use, enjoy, get the updates you require, and make some 1 to 2 day short overnight stays to get familiar with your, new to you, purchase. Some of our most fun, and informative trips have been these local, short overnights.
When I find a forum member I like, in the past 2 years since acquiring our FT, I will click on their avatar picture, and read all of their posts, as you say, as time permits. Many of these go back 8-10 years. Yes, much terrific information here on this forum. Best of wishes, your on the right path.
My wife's favorite update was the Samsung residential refrigerator, Samsung tv, and mine too. My second favorite is the Progressive Industries and Hughes Watchdog power protection with the electrical powere off feature protecting me from both bad power from my rv park post and generator. Next is my Xantrex Sine Wave inverter/charger giving us clean power and better microwave performance. Since that acquisition I am enjoying both Victron products, the battery monitor 712 and the solar controller 150/85 tr with approx 1200 watts on the roof. The quality, usefulness with bluetooth displays are awesum. The Kill O Watt AC meter, and Victron 712 are helping me measure my usage so future battery upgrades are meaningful.
