New owner 2025 Fortravel Realm Presidential LVB w/spa
Well wish us luck. We close Monday on our new 2025 Presidential Realm LVB spa. We take delivery at Nacogdoches, we will stay a few days and make a few overnight trips testing things out before we leave the area. Hopefully not many bugs to work out but we will stay until we get it right. We only live 2.5 hrs from the factory and my son lives 1 mile away from the factory. Can’t wait. I will post pics and results as we get through it all.

Wow!
Must be a wonderful thing to look forward to. I just recently became aware for the Foretravel products and acquired a 2008 Nimbus. Even for this older coach I really appreciate the build design and quality. I decided to older and higher end than to get another new pile of junk. My last 2 motorhomes were purchased new and there are few experiences that equal the anticipation besides becoming a dad or granddad.
Enjoy!

John D, You have a 2024 Cornerstone under your signature line.
Ready to hear your good and bad about the coach.

I am following this as well and would like to hear about how the delivery process went. Definitely a beautiful coach. Would be great to get a contrast between the Entegra Cornerstone and Foretravel.

I have talked to a few owners that have new coaches that came from either a fairly new Cornerstone or a Mountain Aire. They all said the Foretravel was a way better coach and ride.
The Foretravel has a K4 chassis, the Newmar and Entregra has the Spartan K3

We closed June 10th at the factory in Nacogdoches. Everything went well, no issues. Next day drove to campground 150 miles away no problems, next day SE Texas home. Two days later 250 mile trip with 3 grandkids to water park in Louisiana, back home today with no issues. OMG raising kids is for young people , I forgot that.
I will fix my signature line when I get time, we have been on trip after trip and I have had zero downtime Ect.
I traded my 2024 Cornerstone to MHS for the 2025 Fortravel LVB.
There were several things we were not happy with in the Cornerstone and that’s the reason we changed. I still think the Cornerstone is a great coach and I will not dog it but I wanted more so we moved up. This is our third new coach in two years and now I think we will be happy.
The new coach is simply unbelievable in and out. It is virtually silent setting still and going down the road. The ride is not just better in every way and not just by a little. Interior is spectacular. It’s been only one week and I am still in like OMG. I can’t find one problem. I am past impressed. I have owned 5 motorhomes and 4 diesel pushers and I wish I would have bit the bullet earlier and bought the Foretravel. I will say it was hard writing that check but it was the best check I have written in a long time.

I had been told that you could not pick up a new coach at the factory if you ordered it through MHS. I guess I was told wrong.
Does your coach have push button start or did they go back to Key like the 25 Cornerstones?

It has push button start and a backup key switch under the dash. I had push button start and my spartan k-2 Anthem and didn’t prefer it over the key but I never had any trouble with it. Yes you can request a factory closing. I never went to MHS for this purchase.

Beautiful MH! If you haven't yet, you need to join https://www.foreforums.com/ and since you're in South East Texas, you need to join the Mid South Fortravel Club. They have a page on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/744759745653820/
Our next MH will either be a 2002-2005 U320 or GV320.
