Thanks to all. My wife really likes older style coaches even w/o slides. Viewing 89,90,91 Foretravels. With extensive inspection and fluid analysis, are these worth while? With a $50-60 ths budget and $10 ths for upgrades, opinions on looking at these type older coaches or look at 2000-2003 in the same price range. We truly believe in opinions of others who have been through the same process.
In a word, yes, an older Foretravel, inspected can be a very good value.
I just inspected a 1991 U280 for a guy on Thursday. There are nice, very well built coaches. Caterpillar 3208 was the engine at that time. The inline diesels came in a year or two later depending on model.
But, you would not have $50k in one of that vintage, even remodeled. For that money you would be looking at the later year Unihomes or early Unicoaches.
