My friend needs smarter friends

The other day my friend came to me and said "Let me ask you something".

I said no problem ask away.

He said "I have a chance to buy an 07 newmar 45' Mountain Aire with 450 cummins and great floor plan."

I said, " do it."

He said "not the question"

he said, "I can also buy an 03 Foretravel U320 450 cummins and great floor plan." price about the same.

I said "do it"

He said "not the question"

He said "which one?"

I said, "Well the Foretravel of course. It is better"

He said, "Why?"

I said, "That is two questions and you only get one."

He said, "You don't know why. I need smarter friends."

I said, "yeah you do!"

So what would your advice be to my friend...
Careful though he may start to like you and become your friend and soon you will find your beer supply is much smaller.
  • The Newmar is 7 yrs. old the Foretravel is 11 yrs. old. Maintenance would be a major concern on either, make sure they both have records. The Foretravel will need new TV's if not done already, the Newmar may have the flat/thin TV's already.

    If they want slides, I bet the Newmar has four, the Foretravel maybe one or two. The main issue I mentioned is maintenance...that will be the deal breaker.

    Gotta look at tire dates too.

  • And after he gets all the expert advice possible from a bunch of really smart people, he's still going to buy the one he wants or his S/O wants.
  • Foretravel. Probably the best overall quality in the industry.
