Did I Find a Better Foretravel Nimbus 336?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Yes, I'm still at Sewell Motorcoach in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. In fact, this was the first inspection I did this trip. The last Nimbus we looked at, and the first Foretravel, was a little different especially on the exterior.
Surprisingly, even though this motorcoach was used exclusively for LSU Tiger tailgating, and well taken care of, I did find a few issues. I did have to work quickly with the camera due to the early setting sun so I apologize if the lighting is off.
Overall, I love the slide out boxes and hope one day the industry decides to make all slides much better. I do try to explain the slide mechanisms a bit more but otherwise I hope you enjoy the video.
If you have any questions about the 2007 Foretravel Nimbus 336 please contact:
sewellmotorcoach.com or check out Doug Sewell's youtube channel ‪@Sewellmotorcoach‬
Thanks for watching!

    What you didn’t mention was the unique location of the eight air bags on the Foretravel chassis. They are located in front and back of the tires, inline with the tire itself. Much more stable ride than a freight liner or spartan chassis. I own a 98 36’, it rides and drives amazingly. Eight bags and eight shocks. It also levels on the bags, no hydraulic levelers.

    @@Tom-fu6sfNo, Foretravel designed and built their own chassis until the most recent models. I don’t know of another motorhome with similar air bag placement.

    Thank you so much for sharing! I have a 95' 36' non slide. Ive always wanted no slides but those do look really well built!! Yup, walnut. Mine is all walnut too with the rolling cabinet doors. So cool! Even an older 95 still drives like a dream. I smile every time i start it up!! Great job James!!

    I Think the Fortravel Coaches are built really well,i am jealous of the engine access they give,our 2007 alfa gold has the same cummin400 tucked under the bed,nice design,Good call on the exhaust manifold cracking ,you know your cummins. we had ours replaced under warranty,thanks for another review on Fortravel,we are in Topock on the River for the winter. Have a Merry Christmas James😊

    Your balancing act on the top of the slides are you trying to give someone a heart attack!? 🤣 These were great builds when they built the chassis themselves before going to Spartan's. Still solid builds but not the Foretravel Chassis. Great stuff James thanks!

    What’s again James you did a wonderful job on your inspection and your videos is always great I do have a question when you inspect motorhomes, I know you look at a lot of stuff on them. Do you ever pressure check the sewers or smoke test them? The reason I’m asking I’m going through a bad experience right now
