Foretravel Motorcoach Grand Villa Unihome reviews

Best thing going out there. (Short of a RockBand BlueBird, but, hmmm, maybe that too!) Well Designed, Custom frame, Standard OverTheRoad Truck drive train (Maintain at any big truck center for drive train) Tons of storage, and on and on... When you see one with an owner, you can begin to appreciate them. Had mine for 22 years, and still love it! Show less

This RV is built to last. The interior is All Hardwood Walnut craftsmanship. The windows are double pained and tinted. It doesn't have slides , but it was designed well, and doesn't need slides. The coach is designed with the idea it is a bulletproof design, with a level of luxury that is timeless. The solar upgrade provides peace of mind when dry camping, or while in storage, that she is ready to go when you are. I also added slide trays in the undercarriage storage compartments, for easy access to camp gear. When the Coach was custom built sold in 91/92 it cost $226,000.00 it was built to travel reliably and economically, to move 14+ tons of machine down the road and still achieve 9+ MPG is astonishing. She is not a fast RV her top speed is ~ 65 MPH, she is the tortoise not the hare. My wife loves the bedroom vanity with a sink, counter top, and lighted mirror. The central Vac, and Ice maker add to the comfort of the coach. If you are looking for a well manufactured coach that doesn't have the complications of new coaches (fuel additives for the Diesel fuel, resetting the computers for the engine and drive-train, and expensive registration fees) this is the coach for you!

I liked the looked of the unit,the high end products inside coach and one day I had to get a new alternator replaced and took it to a truck repair shop. short end was after $2200.00 it fell off after 100 miles away. Called Foretravel head office service dept.,they told me to call a dealer rep close to me. I did and that's the reason I still today have Foretravel. That dealer came and picked us up and drove us to a hotel and told my wife and me,that once you buy a Foretravel,your family and not to worry that they will fix our coach. That has never left me, it will be for that reason I will buy another Foretravel.I call the service center in Texas for info and parts and help with anything and they are always grateful and helpful.Thanks Foretravel for the best coach and service out there.

I OWNED ONE AND LOVED IT. THIS COACH IS ALMOST INDESTRUCTIBLE. 24 YEARS OLD AND STILL AS RELIABLE AS THE DAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY, WHILE BY THE WAS IS VERY SUPPORTIVE. I WOULD OWN ONE AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT. Show less

I owned one and loved it. This vehicle is almost indestructible, a tank. 24 years old and still as reliable as the day it left the factory who by the way was very supportive. I would own one again in a heartbeat. Nothing today compares to the quality. Show less

FORETRAVELS ARE VERY WELL MADE, AND THIS ONE WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE TRANSITION FROM THE FORE FAMILY TO THE CURRENT OWNERS. WE FEEL THAT PERSONALIZATION WAS MUCH MORE PREVALENT WHILE MR. FORE WAS IN CHARGE. OUR COACH RECEIVES SO MANY COMPLIMENTS AND QUESTIONS FROM OTHER RV'ERS... WE ALWAYS FEEL SPECIAL AND PROUD TO MENTION THAT OUR COACH WAS BUILT IN OUR HOMETOWN BY HOMETOWNERS, AND WITH DEEP CONCERN FOR OUR ENJOYMENT AND SAFETY!! Show less

We have owned our 1988 fore travel grand villa for 2 years now. We love some things about the coach and lots of things we don't like. Design flaws are many. To start with, on the out-side the storage doors open top down, try leaning over to get into them or work on the generator etc... bad idea! Now inside, the bathroom shower was built over the wheel well and me being 6'2 my head goes up into bubble sky light and the sink you cant stand in front of it because of the wall was built at sharp angle. It is a small bathroom. The hallway is narrow to the bedroom. You can only get on the bed from the front of the bed or left side of bed. Sitting up in bed to watch tv you have to lean on a wall that is built at an angle that forces you to lean forward and on the top there is a shelf added that your head hits. Back down the hallway into the kitchen, the dinette bench sticks into the hallway making it very narrow at this point. You literally have to turn sideways to pass by it. Now about getting replacement parts for this grand villa, I called Fore travel for a black tank replacement and I was told that they don't make them any more. You have to have one custom made and it is very expensive! I also needed tail lights replaced because of corrosion on the leads. The cost was $350.00 for 1. I needed 2 at a cost of $700.00 for the pair, ouch! Being a over $200,000 dollar motor coach in its day, I am disappointed! But there are things we do like about our coach. The fiberglass roof never leaks A+. It drives very nice and I love driving it. The woodwork on the inside is very nice and well-built. There are very nice windows throughout the coach. If you are looking to purchase one, go for newer ones since they improved the design around 95 and up. Show less

The best built coach on the road. All interior is top quality and very well planned. We feel there is no match for design, choice of furnishings, ease of operation, etc. Hope to have another one, soon! Show less

top end rv. foretravel put a lot of thought into design and functionality of the living quarters. very pleased. if your not familiar with foretravel you owe it to yourself and research the company. they have great pride in quality of work. I have personally been to their manufacturing plant and experienced first hand their building from chasis up. they don't cut corners hence the value held even in some of the older coaches. Show less
