    Dude, you’re just a natural at these tours, extremely well done. Thx again for all your content. I have remodeled a couple myself. All in the 40 foot range. You can do a hell of a remodel for about $1000 a foot. So for 40 k you can pretty much replace all the furniture, hardware, countertops, and blinds, flooring etc. well worth it, and you get exactly what you want . I hate carpet, so I only use tile and hard wood.

    Yep, we spent a year searching for a DP upgrade, and just went to CA for our new to us Newmar Mountain Aire. Pre-def, 4 slides, aquahot, and no carpet. 40ft, 400hp, and beautiful inside and out.

    I am not easily impressed with remodeling 90% of the trailers and RV’s shown online. This is in a class by itself, James. It’s classic, elegant and functional. Tom gave me some great ideas on what I’d like to do with our classic Holiday Rambler. P

    Love it. That said, I just came from a campground where the rear of the coach could not be leveled. Shower water pooled at the rear of the pan. It would have easily overflowed the pan in this coach. For me, I used my squeegee after showering to "drain" the floor.

    • @davidl1338
      @davidl1338 2 месяца назад +1

      It looks great but have to say this would concern me as well and my first thought when James showed us the shower.

    • @davidhannan2023
      @davidhannan2023 2 месяца назад

      @@davidl1338 how about adding like a 1 1/2 inch lip of stone on the bottom of the pan coming up the glass wall and the door, not too much to step into and help you with a not perfectly level coach.

    That front dash because that is truly amazing! I probably wouldn’t have chosen BLACK but it does look really nice !
    The whole coach is much more impressive for sure…Also it’s very consistent and tasteful compared to some of the horrible “Farm House” styles that I’ve seen so much lately.

    Have been thinking of doing something like this. I've had 7 RV's since 86. Sold the last one back in 2017. Missing our times on the road and don't want to spend the money on a new rig. Great job on this coach!

    👍 Nice. Shopping for a C class, I went wit a 2006 Mercedes chassis because of the straight 5 pre-DEF engine, called the Million Mile Engine. The craftsmanship and quality of the coach was a win as well compared to the newer models, I'm told. 2006J Winnebago View

    Looks very nice.
    Minor point, but one that bugs me and I always have to deal with in any vehicle I have... I hate trailing wires on a dashboard for phones, screens or what have you. Recovering the dash so extensively, it would have been the perfect time to incorporate an unobtrusive socket on the top by the little screen to give a much more integrated look.

    Great video and amazing upgrades to the Foretravel coach. I was looking at some used Phenix they had in Nacogdoches, but decided to keep my 2001 Marquis. I made my annual pilgrimage to the Pacific Northwest to do all my maintenance and upgrades. It is hard to beat those coaches built in Oregon that are pre-emission.
