History on a Specific Foretravel U295C 36'

I'm seriously considering buying a 1995 Foretravel U295C. I have read on here that the past owner history can be had with the motorcade number. If so I'm all ears lol. The number is #12324 any help is really appreciated. And if I buy it I promise to document anything I do on the RV. I have had two older cabin cruisers 32' and 37' and I was able to help other forum members with things I repaired on my boats. Thanks in Advance for any help.

Hello Brad & Laurie,

Welcome to the Forum.  We are happy to help in your quest anyway we can.

The Motorcade Club puts out a membership book most years, where it is possible to look up old member numbers.  I would, of course, not give out names or address of other Forum members without getting their permission, but in most cases they would usually be happy to be contacted by prospective buyers.

However, I can tell you that I looked in my 2022 directory copy, which just happened to be sitting on my desk, and I do not find member number 12324.  It is possible that the number might appear in older issues of the directory, but I don't have them close at hand, so perhaps another Forum member will chime in with more information.

Good luck in your search!

12324 is a fairly old Motorcade number.  There's a good chance the coach has had multiple owners since then. 

For those not familiar, a Motorcade number is assigned to a person or couple when they first join Motorcade Club.  It will be their club number no matter what Foretravel they may own.  We got ours 21 years ago and it's in the 16000's.

Do you have the build number?  There's always a chance that will provide some history.  It should be on the info plate on the interior side by the driver's left knee.

The member search includes motorcade number and coach number, I already tried the motorcade number 12324 with no hits, maybe the coach number might bring up something. I tried my old coach number 3772 and it works!

Thanks for all the input. I'm pretty sure the build number is 4875. 4th thru 7th digits of model number correct? The picture I have is a little fuzzy.
