We meet the proud owner of 25 years!

What a great guy! We had called before we came so the previous owner of the coach, Sammy, had owned this coach for a whopping 25 years. In that time he and his wife of 61 years (yeah, I know-if we all could be so blessed) had traveled to 48 of the 50 states in the coach. Had logged a total of 150,000 miles on the coach in that time. Saw many wonderful things and made countless memories in it. The georgeous solid Walnut walls wreaked of family history, births, deaths, life, sights, smells and wonderful love filled memories. It was like when you walk into your Grandparents home. That feeling of warmth overwhelmed you and without realizing it we were seated on the couch as if "home" from a long journey or as if we hadnt' visited our Grandparents for a long time. Sammy made us feel not just welcome to their second home but comfortable in a way that only a older man who'd seen as much as he and his wife had seen over their 80+ years.

He began first off by talking about he and his wife and thier many journeys in the coach, then about himself and his life, then wanted to know about us. Who we were, why were we intersted in his coach and why younger guys like us would be looking at this coach of all things. Did we know what a Foretravel was?

He was both shocked and amazed at my knowledge of vintage RVs, their overall impact on society even back then and what an honor and privelege it is to own such a marvelous man made accomplishment such as a vintage Foretrave Motorhome. High luxury for it's day and even today Foretravel Motorhomes are amung the most impressive Diesel Coaches I've ever been Blessed to see.

His questioning was nice. He wanted to make sure his coach went to a good home. Wanted to make sure it went to people who not only understoood the amount of money he'd invested in just the last three years on the coach, but the fact that it was more than just a motorhome for he and his wife, but their passion, their excape from their long years. In a sense, you must respect "my" coach, please. As if he even had to ask.
