TOUR OF FORETRAVEL IH 45 LUXURY VILLA

[@shanemichaels124]

Nice to see more coach builders learning from the Yacht builders, the exotic wood cabinets are sharp!

[@NJ-Cathie]

This RV is immaculate. The paint job is beautiful too!

[@adrianstanciu8876]

The interior it's very modern and looks fresh, beautiful! It deserves Villa name!

[@chrisdunn3235]

Now this is my kind of coach! It so happens that blue is my favorite color as well. Thanks Andrew!!

[@marykent4380]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the high end units that I would probably never have an opportunity to see otherwise thank you!!

[@philw7174]

Luxury Villa. Good looking coach. Thanks for the tour. Happy trails!

[@thyhangman]

Great tour! Foretravel blows every one else away (Prevost converters included) with their bathrooms. Not many videos of these though so really appreciate you providing this content. Hopefully the Realm Presidential will have the spa to showcase and a Foretravel Prevost with the sauna suite will break the 'likes' & 'thumbs up'!

[@sherriweber7105]

I like this coach nuts real nice. I like the color of the cabinets. I like the paint on the outside as well. Thank you Andrew for showing this coach.

Bonjour magnifique Motorhome il est vraiment trop beau j'adore ce Motorhome il est vraiment très très bien ce Motorhome

[@JohnWilliams-km5eh]

You are doing so good Andrew, finding great coaches and even great prices for them. Your also getting better on your camera and reporting on them.

[@rodneynielsen1442]

I own a 2013 IH-45. Surprisingly, it has almost every feature this 2020 has. Great rig.

[@TJODOAN]

About time we see some FORETRAVEL!!!

[@yesiram8]

Keep up all the GREAT content, Andrew. Watching every day!

[@RVingwithAndrewSteele]

Much appreciated!

[@bobabooie6389]

Me too!!!!

[@sarahj.8372]

So much fun....Thank you!!! Foretravel is another well thought out longterm good quality one I have heard. Wonderful to know about the salesman for the buyer. Wow....I do like this one..even these colors..lol...I love the combo way they did it. Like the floor plan. OH my gosh...a new color combo I like...there is a blueish in the gray on some tiles...you could have some pale pale blue as the color inside...oh the shower...wow..Nice..but wonder abt all the texture for cleaning shower walls...

[@Fieldsinv]

Wow, that blue is stunning 💙

[@StarzzyJJASD]

Like my eyes except my eyes are more blue

[@steeldavidson]

Nice coach, those are supposed to be very good on the road. Personally I would take that same money and find a Newell and be that much more ahead of the everyone else in a Production coach. Thanks for showing this one, not to many of those out there to review.

[@troygreen9321]

It's really nice too see someone doing some videos on Foretravel coaches. I have seen them for sale but no info on them but they are very nice units with a great price as well as great package

[@luiscabral329]

Bien x estos colectivos con puerta de emergencia y los productos de lavado de ropa en el 2 baño !!! Atrás!!! Genial 👍

[@samaabu73]

Thanks for your excellent video really I love your videos

[@peterdavila3045]

I have always been a fan of Foretravel. If I could afford it, that would be my fulltiming rig. Great video.

[@SpykersB]

Yup, I could hang out in this one fulltime. 😁. 🍻

[@foretraveler2852]

Glad you’re getting to see a Foretravel! Best bang for your buck imho.

[@BoSS-dw1on]

I just talked to a couple who do full time RV’ing in their 5th wheel and they love it. I asked about a class A and the wife said she had concerns about the front entrance on almost all coaches. With the MBR in the rear and the entrance in the front, escaping during a fire is a worry. It is nice seeing the egress at the rear on more of these large class A coaches. That could ease the fears of some potential buyers.

[@DLeske]

My 2018 Pace Arrow was $259,000 new, but has an egress window in the rear bedroom which my wife likes. Over the years we have had a 28ft trailer which felt nice enough standing still but with any wind it was scary to drive. We had a new 2006 36ft dual slide 5th wheel when we retired the first time which we loved living in for two years, but after the 2008 financial disaster we went back to work and retired this year to live in the class A diesel pusher. We found that it was a pain to climb the steps to get in, but then another climb to get to the raised bedroom was too painful after a nasty fall caused permanent injuries. So, we would have preferred the 5th wheel again, but the 33.5ft Class-A has been good. *Now we want more luxury and are now shopping for a 40-42ft Class-A.*

[@shanestiles5445]

It is a DOT requirement that there has to be emergency egress from the motor home and trailers.

[@rmachetti9717]

Foretravel really needs to update the from cap design and furniture. I looked at one before purchasing my 2021 Cornerstone 45W. The 2 things I like is the flat floor slides and no flange exterior slides.

[@apatriotofhopedanjohn4781]

Yeah..... FINALLY !!! My coach

[@NewManTruckin]

Awesome review of the Foretravel Ih-45. Happen to hear that they had a Realm presidential for you to review can’t wait.

[@Tothefloor]

FYI to Andrew. Foretravel uses Tiffin bay doors for all their coaches. :)

[@jimjefftube]

Beautiful!

[@justmefolks1863]

I like the colors on this one and the washer and dryer not being a combo. Great layout. I would have to have a bunk house or something though, I always have people with me and setting up a ed in the livingroom area is not for me.

[@BryceLarenz]

For the price that these coaches are going for, it sure would be nice to enjoy all of that space, while the vehicle is in motion, you know, like a yacht, but the slides, must be in while in motion. It’s also a plus, when they show what it looks like, with the slides in.

[@duncanjames914]

I like the flat floor, seamless slides and an interior that isn't "French Provincial".

[@christophermgwadira4400]

What a nice motor home... But still don't forget to open the fridge 😄

[@jbbloom2710]

Very nice...... but I still think Dean’s is number 1 hands down!!

[@hcrffi]

1/2 million discount. Wow! 👍👍

[@1982MCI]

Really shows ya what kind of mark-up some of these builders really have in their units. A company never has an issue with having a sale and making minimal profit on a few units, if any, but they aren’t gonna take a several hundred thousand dollar or more loss on a unit when we are supposedly in such a hot RV market right now. I know we will never get any of the manufacturers to admit to the mark-up but a half million discount for a sale says all I need to know.

[@Rj-yr1br]

i love this motor home inside and out love itt

[@johnpavon799]

Great Video, love the coach!

[@MrCgs60649]

I was wandering when u would get around to a ForeTravel.

[@darrenstibbard6773]

So unfamiliar with Foretravel. Look awesome though. I will point out too when you opened the cabinets with drawers they are dovetail joinery not stapled. Way stronger and rarely see that in a production coach. Look forward to more Foretravel videos. Love to know more!

[@sw5824]

Outstanding!

[@williamlambert2865]

Nice, but for 1.4 Million, can’t get a steerable tag axel....what the heck? Anyway, nice looking coach, another great video.

[@thyhangman]

This Spartan K4 is a steerable/passive tag axle.

[@williamlambert2865]

Stand corrected, looks like the the difference between ih-45 and Realm.

[@briangasser973]

I would like AZExpert to do an inspection on this coach after 3 years to see how well it ages. My guess is it looks pretty, but will have issues.

[@ericbarry3639]

Great coach, Question: which manufactures have you heard will be heading towards electric motors in the near future ,, it’s going to happen here soon ?

[@nicholasrhodes4550]

As for myself, I'm watching the impound yards for a '70s-'80s Class C motor home that won't take too much shoveling out and patching up...

[@MrRicco39]

That coach was nice although I would buy a used Newell for that price first. Andrew would like to know if Newell and Prevost are at the top who do you see at #3 #4 and #5 motorcoach companies. Thanks you are the best!

[@RVingwithAndrewSteele]

That's a great question! I will have to think about that...

[@gramsofmoney2723]

"Puck" lights and cheap central air duct vents in a $1.4 million coach?? hmmmm ......ehhh......."Come on man!! " LOVE that wood finish though

[@ianemery7785]

gramsofmoney Yea I noticed those things. Also notice the cheap carpet lining on all the cupboards, even the kitchen overheads, how is carpet lining ‘high end’? I would expect that in a home converted mini-van and certainly not in a mil and a half coach. No washbasin in the head, yuk. BTW I HATED that wood finish, so goes to show that you can’t please everyone! Overall I guess that’s why it’s discounted 33% from MSRP!!

[@catturner3986]

Like it 😍

[@jakem.6359]

At some point Foretravel lost their way and made the transition from a custom coach to a production coach....and 1 million plus retail for something on a Spartan chassis....no thanks. You could buy something with just as much "glitz" for a lot less money. Just my opinion. Still a nicely produced video Andrew 👍

[@mxxm176]

Hi Andrew, which manufacturer do you like better? Newmar or Foretravel. Which coaches are better in quality? Who has the better insulation etc. Nice channel by the way.

[@ledebuhr1]

Andrew, This coach seems like more bang for your buck compared to a Newell or Liberty. It might not be quite as nice, but its probably 90% as nice a those for much less $$$.

[@PrevostJoe]

This thing doesn't even hang out in the same neighborhood as Newell or Liberty. I would say it's about 40% of those

[@jethead]

These are nice but for me Newell is the top dog. Now if I could just afford one.

[@kevinfleming9919]

Nice job showing the RV and features, and it's a heck of a beautiful Land Yacht, but the sometimes stepping forward, backwards, forward, backwards, forward, and backwards, while you're standing in one spot talking made it look like you're on a boat at sea pitching around. Kinda distracting and dizzying. Would still watch more from you though.

[@briangasser973]

Draws weren't lined, plastic cabinet locks, bay door edges that arent painted... It is a nice looking coach, but not a competitor to Liberty, Marathon, or Newell.

[@scottmulrooney8483]

Way to fast, slower or better yet longer video on a coach like this please.

[@TOPTENTRAVEL01]

I'd love to see an actual objective review of an RV, instead of stating that everything you see is is the greatest thing you've ever seen. It simply cannot be true. I know you have a personal opinion, and I would like to hear that. Unless you get a kickback, or course, then I completely understand your sales tactics. Good luck with that.

[@nowweride3094]

@andrew is there any solar, how big? Did I miss that?

[@wkwsmith8412]

So Andrew, how do you rate / compare Foretravel to the other high end makes, ie, Prevost,Liberty,Marathon, Newell. Wish you would rate the top 5 in order. Thanks

[@Steve-zf8zn]

So drippy and impractical but, it's a good way to look like a knucklehead while camping.

[@birdiephelan]

Is something like this still considered a production coach? What makes the jump from Production to something else?

[@RVingwithAndrewSteele]

Great question. I will have to dig a little deeper to get you a good answer.

[@windsorpierre9637]

@@RVingwithAndrewSteele plz do Andrew cause also curious about this

[@rodneynielsen1442]

In most cases, an IH-45 has always been a made to order coach. You order from the factory and pick every finish and layout down to the detail. However, it is my understanding that some IH-45's were ordered by the dealer. The Relm was the production line coach. Lower end in several ways. I love our IH-45. It's wonderful in every way.

[@maddoxmetcalf3938]

I was wondering how much this sleeps

[@royalpools]

Great video as always hey I notice you’re always mentioning the name of the dishwasher can you also mention the name of the toilet we have an older coach and would like to upgrade we like to know what some of the high-end coaches are using the one in this coach looks just like a residential toilet Thanks again love the videos keep up the great work!

[@RVingwithAndrewSteele]

Great idea, I will make sure to point that out in future videos. Thanks for mentioning that.

[@pjgreen1183]

nice shower,,,

[@wyoboatman]

Why doesn't the IH45 have passive steer, anyone know?

[@PrevostJoe]

There are things in this coach that a way out of place for a coach of this price range like that panel in the rear bath with the screw covers on the right side wall when you open the door end panels in the bedroom put the same screw covers. Other things like the molding around the drop down TV upfront looks cheap and cheesy again with the exposed screw covers. Cheap bay door Construction. Too many things in this coach that just don't make it for me.

[@BoSS-dw1on]

How is this for a taller guy? Is the Standing Shower Superior?

[@mwrcrft]

Andrew said he is 6'2" in his last video at about the 7:20 mark

[@pjgreen1183]

They should have put one large sink in the centre of the counter in the back bathroom. There is not much room for two people to stand there comfortably unless you are really skinny. It looks cramped with two small sinks so close together, it feels nice when using the sink if its large with allot of counter space, that would be much nicer,,,and the design on the inside of the front door looks like a dead manta ray, ugly as hell,,,,

[@americanspirit8932]

[@TammiHartung]

This is a really really specific look. Not a fan of the wood grain - at least not so much of it. There’s just a lot of bold textures and colors competing for dominance in this coach. Not really a fan of this coach’s decor. Omg! And then the bathroom shower. Geez. Yeah. Too many patterns. No cohesion for the decor. Like the wine cooler and the huge couch. Also the dining booth. Also, the pullout “pantry” style cabinet in the bathroom. (btw: not a fan of the sound effects - crowd cheering)
