Congrats on your Foretravel. Several years ago, we decided to purchase a motor home. We could not afford to buy new. I asked my brother-in-law what we should consider as he had had a few new motor homes and had finally bought a Foretravel. He said to figure out how much money we had to spend and find a used Foretravel that fit our budget. We bought a 36' 1991 Grandvilla 280. Best advice I ever got on a vehicle. We still love our coach and plan to keep as long as we are able to travel.
The more we learn about other brands, the more we appreciate Foretravel. What has been said about the factory support, even on an older coach, is absolutely true. They have been great.

well once I can safely kick the kids out of the house (a long while yet) we'll be looking at our retirement coach. and that the moment that coach is very high on the list. Of course 15 years from now life will be different but I can honestly say that is a coach I could retire in

wanna share? I'll lend my kids for your coach

loedman1, it is Phenix. Thanks to all for the well wishes and especially to my friend Brett Wolfe for the welcome to the Foretravel family. If I can figur how to reduce a photo without distorting it, I will add a photo to my signature.

Sage advice.

The first generation Unicoaches are now all at or under $100K from what I've been seeing for sale. Excellent coaches. Why anyone would not want a Foretravel, other than not being able to afford one is beyond me. When I first started shopping pre-owned Foretravel Unicoaches several years ago, I found many within my budget of $200K.


I have a sweet tender nature, however I enjoy sharing my thoughts and opinions.

Awh Shucks! I missed another one! I have been drooling over that Phenix since I found it on the site. Oh well, I have to dream about something! CONGRADULATIONS, and I am sure you will enjoy!

I just took delivery of my new to me 2006 Foretravel Phenix 42 ft quad slide at the factory in Nacogdoches, TX. Been here since Friday learning all the systems and working with service on a few minor issues. They did all of the remodeling/customizing I wanted and it came out great. The people here are GREAT to deal with.
Bump....

How's your new rig doing?
