We did it! We are now the proud owners of a Vintage Mint Condition 1978 Foretravel Motorhome built by Foretravel Industries of Nacogdoches, Texas


Well, in all honesty it must have just been God because to this day, every time I look out the big picture windows of our home we moved into just after purchasing the coach I wonder just how we did it.


We sold the Travco rather quickly actually to a local man and wife who were both eager to get it home and begin playing with now their new toy. In addition we emptied any savings we had, begged and borrowed and even dipped into, well pretty much emptied Carls inheritance but we managed to scrimp it all up in just a week. It had to be one of the most stressful weeks of my life. We couldn't sleep or eat anticipating it being in our possesion.


We called Sammy on that following Friday, met him at his bank, deposited the funds directly into his bank account, signed the title over in front of a bank Rep and followed Sammy to the storage lot where he kept the coach.


It was about this time we asked Sammy if we could name the coach after his ailing wife, Harriett. He looked at us like, what are you guys full of...then grinned and said that would a nice thought. We agreed and so the Foretravel is named Harriett. We were on our way to pick her up and bring her home.
