I bought my first coach a Foretravel when I was 39. I kept class a Foretravels for 17 years ending up with a 42 foot double slide. I covered 370k miles in them. Someone called and asked if it was for sale and I said give me a number he did and I sold it. I now have a 29 foot super c style on a F550. I will not have a large coach again. Five of my Foretravel friends also downsized as well. The lure and expense of a large class a is much more then my C. No need to tow but I can tow 12k pounds if I choose. I figure I was early and am early again. I was castigated for saying Fleetwood country coach and Monaco would all go bankrupt. The writing was on the wall. Right now my age group late 50s are not buying big class a units. I think we will have a slowdown followed by a recession. It will get ugly again. Remember when people were selling because of fuel prices. That is minuscule compared to the over supply and poor quality units being put out. The next generation will do their research and some company will step up and have the quality they are looking for infact some are doing it right now.
