I traded my 02 Foretravel for a 99 Newell and have never looked back. I love it and I live in Nacogdoches.
Foretravel is a good coach and I feel the new Foretravel Co. is doing a good job. It changed hands from the Fore family to the new owners somewhere around 05. The many reason I prefer Newell to my 02 Foretravel is it is all electric. I love the residential frig along with the many other electrical assets. It has what amounts to 4 A/Cs versus 2. It has a 20 kw generator. The Aqua Hot when it is on electric will heat water as fast as it will on diesel. Rudy might want to pipe in here. It has a separate washer and dryer and the dryer is 220 volts. It has a 110 and a 12v. water pump and a 110 and 12v compressor. My 02 had only 12v. on both. I do prefer the aluminum skin both on sides and top. I also like the front independent suspension, I believe this begin on the 97 models. Foretravel during the 2000 period I understand made about 50 with independent suspension, but went back to a straight axle. I don't know what the new ones have.
These are just some of the reason I prefer Newell. I must say that one might be comparing apples to oranges, because one could have probably bought 3 Foretravels during this period of time for the price of 1 Newell.
