i bought my blue bird wanderlodge SP36 pusher for under 35k.. its built like a brick and is solid custom wood throughout.. i wish BB still made these beauties.. thanks for the vid Brother...
We bought a coach from them several years ago. Not really knowing any better, we trusted them when we paid $750 for a pre-inspection….not sure for what now as we found plenty problems after signing the papers. Also…be careful when using them for insurance repairs. They tend not to follow specific instructions from the insurance company’s. They also have a tendency to charge you for things they can’t fix. They definitely have no problems taking your money even if they can’t fix something.
Oh now. We had an inspection done on a Foretravel they were selling and it was very detailed. We turned down the deal based on the inspection. I can't speak to their service, I have not used them for repairs either, I mostly go down the road to FOT. I just know they have a good selection of DP's
@@RVIntoRetirement Yes they have a great selection. And while it was a consignment coach, I wish there would have been a little more honesty. I’m sure they do good service, they just don’t read correspondence from insurance companies and they ended up getting us in quite a bit of a pickle….to the tune of $12k…..our coach ended up getting held hostage due to lack of communication between them and our insurance company. BUT….I do HIGHLY recommend Extreme Paint & Graphics in Nacogdoches if you ever need paint work done. They are 100% !!!
I don’t think it will stop me. I absolutely appreciate this video and have been considering full timing it. I simply love being out on the Road. Seeing a new view all the Time.
Thanks for taking the time to check the lot over. They do seem to have some good pricing and lots of available product. You are right - they have a slew of Foretravels. I'm not so fond of of that old boxy styling but it's good to know they drive good and hold up well over time.
Dear sir , i have no experience with the motorhome but i agree with you that the rounded corner of the slide technical wise is the best . Also retired from the Netherlands, kind regards to you and your wife.
Thank you for the video. Motorhomes of Texas has been a big dealer for Foretravel for many years. They keep higher end pushers on the lot. Thanks again.
Thanks for the sub! We looked at a Signature model when we first started looking for a DP - loved it, it was a no slide model and looked like a Prevost inside.
Some say that... but overall I would not pass on a Foretravel based only on looks... dig deeper into the quality of materials used and the drivability. You'll be surprised
the funnay part is i would take the old stuff over the new stuff any day of the week !!! nothin like a 1995 to 2005 diesel pusher man take it from a guy whos been living in an rv since 1981 and was a tank mechanic since 1977 trust me i know my stuff.
Look at reviews for 2021 RV being rushed off the line and have lots of problems. There are plenty of places to stay without supporting these places with 10 year rules
Foretravel is kinda between a production coach and a prevost conversion…very good quality…not sure if foretravel has the steel structure chassis like country coach
It does, at least the older ones do that were made on their proprietary chassis. We had a Country Coach previously and while they make a great product for us the quality was much better in the Foretravel.
I went to thier website, and perhaps they find the best of the best, as far as no junk, but very few priced for normal folks, even going back into the 90s. I mean I don't want to give over a 100K for something that is over 30 years old, not when there are so many for sale right now. Getting a high price for your used motorhome is great, but how long did it sit before purchase.
I happen 2 own a 2001 Safari Sahara and seems it needs more shock dampening in the front 😔 it shakes like a city bus on pot holes , rear rides fine , could I add 2more airbags maybe ? Or just thick rubber shims ? Monaco built it 💪 I pray to God I will have the pleasure 2run into you and go fishing and only talk about motorhomes . I totally love my motorhome! More than my present wife ! If I get divorced I will leave her my house and Keep my lovely motorhome, don't like motorhomes with a front door access , mine opens in the mid section . And my sister just moved to Universal City TX. Thank you 4 your very informative & soothing information ! 👍 I will keep'n touch 😉
No new is not better than old in our opinion. If you have deep pockets and can afford new go with the premium models (prevost, Newell, Foretravel) - the quality is there. But big name mainstream brands we just don't see the quality there like older coaches.
As I am getting acquainted with my 04 Holiday Rambler Navigator I absolutely love it but there support is nonexistent unfortunately and their manuals/ schematics are virtually worthless so I feel like I am on my own ( fortunately I am retired and have the time to try and figure out the problems I have with the coach )
Thanks, we are looking to get over there this week for more videos of interiors. Be sure to check out their website - they have some great photo's and videos too.
Compared to what? Can't judge Foretravels by NADA. With that said 99% are consignment coaches so you can barter with the coach owner. Then again many are sold quickly these days.
Love the sound of a diesel engine AND the smell of diesel ! Trully soothing for the nervous system !
Isn’t the truth!

Very nice! Nothing like a good old build that is solid!!!
As a past customer of MOT and owning three Foretravels, I can only add that both will give a great service.

We have a 99 Signature that we love.
500 ISM.
But always looking.

I’m a Foretravel and Country Coach nut!! This video was a round peg in a round hole!😁
Thanks!👍
Perfect!
Me Too.!
best place to buy a rv is the state impound /state surplus/ect
I guess that's an option but DPs can be expensive to begin with and there would be a lot of unknowns.
I like the Foretravel all except the front cap. It’s just so flat. Lol. Maybe some bigger and a few more lights up front would help.
Some say that... but overall I would not pass on a Foretravel based only on looks... dig deeper into the quality of materials used and the drivability. You'll be surprised
Newell is the cream of the crop. They build their own chassis’s from the ground up and everything in between.
Same with our foretravel, factory built frame
the funnay part is i would take the old stuff over the new stuff any day of the week !!!
nothin like a 1995 to 2005 diesel pusher man take it from a guy whos been living in an rv since 1981 and was a tank mechanic since 1977
trust me i know my stuff.
They Tell us the Reason for the Age limit is the issues with increased chance of breakdowns. Handymen fixing them in the Space.
Look at reviews for 2021 RV being rushed off the line and have lots of problems. There are plenty of places to stay without supporting these places with 10 year rules
For me, I don't want any coach newer than 2007. The Def and regen systems are nothing but problems
Agree 💯
can you talk about height issues and length please. i know 13 ft. height can be a problem. Does Foretravel have semi-monocoque frame and chassis?
Older foretravels are semi monoquue. No height issues unless you travel older cities in the east coast. Our 2008 is 12'9"
Would like to see inside of the many RVs you walked to.
I'll be back there soon and will update you if we are able to get into some of the coaches.

There are several Foretravels under 100k

You can check with a Safari group on IRV2.com. What we found on our previous coach was Koni shocks all around and smoothed out our ride.
Look up source engineering and Henderson’s in Grants Pass Oregon
@@jdcrow807 thank you much .
What did you mean when you complained old and new? You said not comparable. Maybe I missed it. Are new ones better than old?
No new is not better than old in our opinion. If you have deep pockets and can afford new go with the premium models (prevost, Newell, Foretravel) - the quality is there. But big name mainstream brands we just don't see the quality there like older coaches.
@@RVIntoRetirement thank you
I live in Commiefornia, can I buy an RV is a regular State and bring it back to Commieland?
Yes but you'll have to Pay CA tax unless you get an out of state residency
I have always liked Foretravel motor coaches!! Do you have an opinion on Wanderlodge 2003/04 M380?
I think Wanderlodge makes a Quality vehicle - we had one next to us last winter and it was stunning and looked very solid.
@@RVIntoRetirement Thank you for responding! We appreciate the confirmation about Wanderlodge!
I would love to see the Newmarket.

I want a country coach magna 630
Hey braaa thanks bruuh for thiss video
we love our Foretravel!! It's a 97 U270.
Aren’t they a great coach!!
As I am getting acquainted with my 04 Holiday Rambler Navigator I absolutely love it but there support is nonexistent unfortunately and their manuals/ schematics are virtually worthless so I feel like I am on my own ( fortunately I am retired and have the time to try and figure out the problems I have with the coach )
Rod - There are a lot of support groups online. Try IRV2.com and look for the Holiday Rambler Group - plenty of info there.
Monacoers is a great forum for your coach
Hi im looking for a class a with handicap equipment
I would suggest www.RVTrader.com
The ih-45 did you get the price?
They rang from the mid 300’s on up. Check www.motorhomesoftexas.com
Got any for $20k?
Just read in your description, from $37k and up. Out of my budget. Thanks for the video.
No sorry
That country coach provost is teasing me. :)
We can see why!!!
You forgot to add the link for the website
motorhomesoftexas.com
Why do you remind me of Kevin O'Leary ? Is he your older brother? 😳
Not that I’m aware of.
But with a beautiful coach comes a beautiful price though
That's true!
Thanks for sharing your video.
First time to your channel. Just subscribed. Would be great if you made a return trip to show us some of the interiors.
Thanks, we are looking to get over there this week for more videos of interiors. Be sure to check out their website - they have some great photo's and videos too.
At $3.50 a gallon the only place my diesel pusher is going is behind my house!
Wanna sell it?
3 50 is not bad lol
Better sell it can now it's 5 A gallon....lol
Never thought I would say this but I wish diesel was 3.50 again
Yea, stay away from General Rv. I bought my class a coachmen from them and got scammed. The rv was damaged and was sold to me.
Sorry to hear that, they have had some negative news lately.
Nun of these compare to an older beaver motor coach
I just checked the website and all the motorhomes are heavily overpriced
Compared to what? Can't judge Foretravels by NADA. With that said 99% are consignment coaches so you can barter with the coach owner. Then again many are sold quickly these days.
Yeah not only overpriced but also starting at 100k 😢
Reasonably priced ? Really ? I’ll take the pool noodle for 500 Bob.
This is not helpful........ show more of the motorhomes and only those that are not sold
They go quickly, but it can give you and idea of quality diesel pushers.
