About Foretravel

Foretravel info

This family owned east Texas custom builder has only built 6618 coaches in 50 years. In house designers, high quality cabinetry, and new standards for standard equipment, and some still unmatched today. A huge percentage of the coaches were custom orders, with “Yes” being the answer when you asked if something could be done. They had huge tanks compared to the market of their day, for water, grey, black and fuel. We have 149 gal. diesel, 102 water, 110 grey, 54 black, for a true boondocking coach. Standard was 3 8D gel house batteries, and 10Kw generators with auto start, and remote start from the bed. The only coaches with more are usually the Blue Bird Wanderlodges. Our coach has a transmission retarder braking system, with a 6 position joy stick. It controls decent speeds and normal braking, and added $10,000 to the cost, but was standard on Foretravels. Engines were set up with higher HP from Cummins than the other bands typically offered.

We love the solid walnut cabinetry, still have walnut half walls, and the feel of a classic custom yacht. We were lucky to find this coach with some pricey upgrades. The seller had done the new headlight package, and MCD double roller shades hidden behind the window valances, and the new Lazy Boy rocker/recliner. Love the bus style bay doors, the cargo bed drawers, and the hanging drawers in the storage bays. We have equipment not found on coaches built today, on our 15 year old classic.

We are happy with what we have found.

We have added a Samsung French Door SS residential refrigerator, Samsung SS Convection Microwave, Splendide Combo washer/dryer, and a Magmum Pure Sine Wave 2800 Inverter.  Other upgrades or replacements include a new 3 way 10 gallon water heater and new variable speed water pump, a 28″ flat screen, and a couple dozen other improvements
