Foretravel Owners' Forum For owners and Fans of Foretravel Motorcoaches September 05, 2025 ...

Be happy to answer any questions.  I was once told there were only 6 2000 GV320 ordered as it was only made to order?  I've put close to 100k miles on mine since I bought it in 2019.  It had sat unused since 2013.  Huge learning curve if you have never owned a diesel pusher or a Foretravel but you will have so much fun with it.

Cheers!

GV #5717 here...

I thought that I checked out this coach years ago but it's got a different floorplan than I expected so I didn't...interesting to see some of the differences between my coach and this one.

Personally I'll suggest you probably won't miss the slide-i wouldn't...I also like the street side kitchen.

If it doesn't have any bulkhead issues this  looks to be a great deal! Basement looks super clean so it's probably a southern coach and I'd be optimistic it's good to go.

Thank you for the reply!  Fingers crossed on pending inspections.  Based on suggestions from this community, I believe we have the right team lined up to evaluate the coach, no later than next Tuesday.  Have a great night!

If I were 10 years younger I would have already bought that coach, a quick check of the bulkheads and off to the fuel station.
For that kind of money it's a steal.
IMHO

One question for the group.  The RV warranty company that PPL uses does not offer warranties on coaches over 20-years old. Is anyone familiar with a warranty company that might offer a warranty on a 2000 coach? Thanks so much in advance and have a great Friday and weekend.

Ditto the "warranty" advice above.

You'd be surprised how many "problems" encountered with these great old coaches can be solved by DIY.  Initially, it's a steep learning curve, but we'll help you climb the slope.  Within this Forum you will have the benefit of the greatest single collection of Foretravel knowledge and expertise available anywhere in the known universe.  Questions?  We got answers.  Something breaks?  It has more than likely happened to another Forum member and the fix is documented in our archives.  Locating obscure parts for old systems?  We'll tell you our secret sources.

Paying for parts and repairs?  That's on you. 

We owe everyone that helped us with this process a great deal of gratitude. Thank you to everyone who made recommendations and otherwise replied to this post. A colleague of Keith's (info available upon request and with his permission) completed a thorough inspection on Monday, after the diesel shop inspection. He believes it to be a solid coach with modest repairs and maintenance needed.  He has been phenomenal and his decades of experience as a subject matter expert on these coaches was immediately apparent. We also were able to reach the prior owner of 16-years. He was extremely helpful and had invaluable insights to offer. The question on the coach's mileage was resolved...the explanation is strange, but bottom line, the coach and its original powertrain do have almost 215,000 miles. It runs and drives very well. 

Ultimately, we made an offer today, which accounted for planned immediate repairs/maintenance, and the dealer accepted. Thank you again for all of your advice and have a great Thanksgiving!

Thank you all for the replies.  Update from Cummins shop - fluid analysis for engine, genset, and transmission looked good.  They were unable to read the error codes responsible for the check engine light, possibly due to previously mentioned computer issue.  They also believe there's a problem with the ABS system and will provide more detail on that this afternoon. Keith is not available for an inspection but he has a partner or colleague who is...inspection date pending, hopefully this weekend or early next week.

Were they unable to read anything from the ECM, or were there no codes stored? There might not be an issue with it at all. My experience has been that the codes that the engine reports are not always clear exactly what is wrong with it, and it often interpreted wrong by the techs.
You may want to look into a device to read the codes and information from the ECMs for future troubleshooting. Some of the other members can chime in as to what works well. I have the tools for this from work, and a coach that is too old to support most of it. But if you need any help troubleshooting codes or ECM issues, I'm glad to help.

Update - We have our 2000 GV320 at the Cummins shop right now. It appears that the alternator (Wilson 90-01-4721N) and battery isolator (Cole Hersee Co. 48160 isolator for heavy duty applications, 12-36VDC 200A) were recently replaced. The tech informed us that the isolator is a 3-stud solid state isolator which should be connected only to a solid state alternator. The current alternator is a 180A variable alternator with an internal voltage regulator. Per the isolator manufacturer, this alternator is incorrect for the model and can cause issues. With the isolator in place, alternator voltage was low. When the isolator was bypassed, the alternator voltage was normal. The tech believes the alternator is functional and the isolator has failed. He recommended replacing the failed isolator with another Cole Hersee Co. model (48162), which he believes be configured to work with the current alternator.
