I have had a couple of older Foretravels (93 and 95) and with my new wife we decided to get another RV. Choices were another Foretravel or a Newell or Prevost. I'm never going to be a new RV owner even if I won the lotto. Unfortunately the newer Foretravels quality and design has gone down after 2005 with the new owners. Pretty quickly we decided on Newell. There was a time around 2005 when I was looking at RVs, the owner of Newell would text online, which really impressed me.
Anyway, we expect to buy a 2005 or 2006 in the next 6 to 18 months. I'm trying to stay in the $250-300K range. 2005 because they shifted over to the Cat 15 liter and especially the ZF tag axle.
I am interested in finding out which years they switched to the 12 speed trans, and the electric steering. I figure I will run across that info here...
I've slowed my texting the last few years without a motorhome - I was a Foretravel guru for about 10 years. Not sure I will ever be a Newell guru, but I'm happy to talk to some!
