FORETRAVEL MOTORCADE CLUB
The motorcoach lifestyle is different than any other. With freedom for adventure, you have the ability to tour the continent from wilderness outposts to urban sprawl in comfort and style. We, the Foretravel Motorcade Club, understand both the thrills and complications of this exciting lifestyle. Our professional team has organized a program to support and enhance your lifestyle. We bring you together with fellow owners to experience the warm companionship that your travels will bond. We offer a quarterly magazine- The Foretravel Motorcader. We plan, host, and direct numerous travel opportunities around the US and Canada to enhance fellowship and comradery within our owners. With over 40 years experience, our club is one of today's largest and most active owners clubs. For each of our motorcades, we are the only club to have a factory trained service representative pulling a trailer with parts and tools traveling with us. Management of the Foretravel Motorcade Club and its activities is under the leadership of the Motorcade Club Manager, the Club International President and is aided by the International Board of Directors. The soul purpose of this private club is to enhance the enjoyment of your coach through travel and comradery.

We’re pretty sure you’ll enjoy the drive to the 2022 Grandvention since we’ve chosen the beautiful location of Branson where the foliage should be vibrant. We’ve secured our sites and facility at the Branson KOA. Plans are being made booking the entertainment and scheduling the seminars. We will be 100% ready for four fun filled days. The central location should please everyone from coast to coast. The Grandvention is a great place to renew old friendships and make new ones as we show our first timers the true spirit of the Motorcade Club with our fun and camaraderie. The experts brought in for our seminars are an excellent opportunity to learn more about the operations, updates and maintenance of your coach. There’s a lot to see and do in Branson. Pick your favorite to visit during our free time. This is the one time of the year when we can all get together in one place for four fabulous days of fun, entertainment, fellowship, games, prizes, seminars, vendors, crafts and good food.

Branson Ultra
October 8, 2022 - October 15, 2022
Immediately following the Grandvention, why not stick around for a few more days and continue the fun here in Branson? We’ll let you sleep in then have a get-together along with registration in the afternoon and get this party started. Our schedule will be very versatile because our choices are endless in this city of entertainment. We will book many shows and leave room for other tours on land and water. We won’t miss a tour and meal at the College of the Ozarks or an interesting tour riding the ducks. When boarding the Titanic, each person is given a ticket with the name of one of the original patrons taking that maiden voyage. After the amazing tour of this Museum, it’s always interesting to search the wall in the last room to see if you hold the name of a survivor or one of those lost at sea. We are never disappointed with the exceptional production at the Sight & Sound Theatre. If you’ve never been, you are in for an amazing experience. On your free day, you will have numerous choices. You may decide to be adventurous and head straight to the ziplines or to Run Away Mountain if you want to get your heart really pumping. Then there’s Silver Dollar City that will fill your whole day. And you can never leave without going to Branson Landing for a little shopping and afterwards, sit and take in the beautiful fire & light show. There is one guarantee. We will have plenty to do and see to stay well entertained during our continued stay in Branson. Stick around and hang out with us after the Grandvention.

Ladies Driving School
October 24, 2022 - October 27, 2022
We don’t like to talk about the “what if’s”, but they do happen, and it’s better to be prepared. Ladies this Driving school is offered only once a year in the Fall. Don’t let another year go by and miss the opportunity to participate in the motorcoach driving program designed specifically for you, regardless of your diving skill level. The comfortable classroom sessions are taught by experienced, kind, knowledgeable qualified instructors. A detailed walk-around and hands on sessions teaches basic understanding of your motorcoach before the “behind the wheel” driving time begins. Apprehension will disappear once you’ve driven a designated course in the off road practice area accompanied by your personal instructor guiding you every step of the way. A factory tour, complete walk-around, and two informative seminars are scheduled for the men. You’ll be quite proud once you’ve completed this course. So let us put you in the driver’s seat and increase your confidence to the highest level.

Mississippi River Road I
May 4, 2023 - May 31, 2023
Join us as we travel the National Scenic & Historic Highway known as the Great River Road on a 26-day fun-filled adventure. One of the oldest, longest, and most unique scenic byways offers a chance to explore areas of our nation's historic and legendary interest, cultural riches, and recreational wonders. An alluring addition to this whole experience will be the quaint villages along the river we will visit. Many founded before the advent of the railroad or superhighways, these towns maintain the charm built by Italian, German, English, and French pioneers that are distant with old-world touch. On this motorcade (part I), we'll cross into four states beginning in New Orleans, Louisiana, travel on to Mississippi and Arkansas before ending in St Charles, Missouri. The history, the stories, and the haunts we will experience will make this unique motorcade most memorable. Reminders of the Civil War seen at the Vicksburg Battlefield recall the ravages of war while tours of the white-pillared mansions tell stories of prosperity brought about by cotton, sugar cane, and river commerce. Let us show you the fascinating areas along the Mississippi River Road that most bypass, unaware of the stories and history they hold.

We’ll pan for gold, fish for salmon and halibut, take a sled ride, and the list goes on and on. The culture is unique. The scenery is breathtaking. It’s why people keep coming back again and again. Now, what are YOU waiting for? Make 2023 the year you make unforgettable memories in Alaska. Sign up today.
