    A real bed length of 80”! Finally. But I’d never buy a coach from a manufacturer that voids warranty for full time living, seems like that would prove lack of confidence in their quality

      Google: What new motorhome's warranties exclude full-timers? Answer: most. If you want a full-timers warranty, check into extended warranties endorsed by Escapees or FMCA and tell the agent you are a full-timer.

    My neighbours have had this model for years & have been full timing in it in BC. It’s done more island hopping than I have.
    You should have opened the bottom drawer in the bathroom, it’s typically a clothes hamper.

    Finally somebody does a good wet bay, good 12v compressor fridge, convection microwave instead of an oven, pull out drawers under the dinette… I like it a lot!

    Things we liked: 1-piece fiberglass roof, AZDEL, 60x80 Queen Bed. Things we didn't like: too long, super slide. We do spend more than 6 months on the road a year and are currently looking for a Class C like this. Our most preferred features are those that we liked above, so, Forest River is great! We prefer staying small though for maneuverability, 25'-28'. Vicki likes a couch slide, but it seems all slides eventually give you problems and super slides are the worst to deal with. Good Production and Entertaining Video as usual!

  • @unclejer65
    @unclejer65 2 года назад +1

    Things I liked:
    1) usability with the slide in
    2) Sky lights
    3) Pocket door and bathroom setup
    Dislikes:
    1) No bumper with stinky slinky storage
    2) Funky door on outside TV (should swing up)
    3) general lack of storage and funky garbage door outside.

    I like it. The RV is completely accessible with the slide in. The kitchen is perfect and the skylights are amazing.

    Hi Matt and Andrea!
    My likes are the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. My dislikes the bunk and the twisted doors on storage doors. And the door for the tv outside. Thank you for showing this Rv.

    • @vank7541
      @vank7541 2 года назад

      Hi to you two. Like The storage in all the rooms and the kitchen counter space. Don't like accordion door for the bedroom, prefer a solid door. Also don't like the placement of the TV indoors. Who wants to crank their head around to watch a TV.

  • @farmerdeb2863
    @farmerdeb2863 2 года назад +4

  • @pattijohnson8197
    @pattijohnson8197 2 года назад +2

    I like the bathroom with the sink across, the amount of bedroom cabinets (with the under rhe bed area), the kitchen size, and the sky lights. I dislike the step, the non-reclining passenger seat, and the TV position is a deal breaker. I do like the replaceable mini curtains.

    Would love to see slightly smaller dinette with a televator in front of window. OR no dinette, fireplace with tv televator and a pull out table. Keep chairs in a closet. as for the valances, I like em. Easy to change to match any decorating you want to do.

  • @BeccaTheBoring
    @BeccaTheBoring 2 года назад +5

    That’s a pretty decent price for that motor home! Also love the skylights, the nice size of the bathroom, and the outside access to the trash can. Not liking the outside tv. I honestly never like outside TVs, though. I don’t go camping to watch tv. No other dislikes, though. It’s pretty nice as-is.😁

    • @uowebfoot
      @uowebfoot 2 года назад

      That's because it's built cheap. Look at the crappy wood. Even scratched up on the pull out drawer below the dinette. Cracked mirror.

    • @ChristianTravelers
      @ChristianTravelers 2 года назад

      @@uowebfoot fiberglass roof and AZDEL are not cheap materials. That's where most manufacturers scrimp, excepting most notably Winnebago & Forest River in this price range. You're right about the interior trim, though, and that's where buying used will save you the headache of having those things fixed under warranty. Of course, buying used also saves a bunch of depreciation.

    The bunk was an odd size. 440lbs Seriously? All it takes ai a little bit thicker plywood as the base to mattress. I'm betting Entegra uses 3/4 inch plywood where as this is probably 7/16 or 1/2 inch, the difference is pretty nickel dime price wise. No excuse for it.

    I bought a 2019 same layout I hate my sky light puts lots of heat in camper causing air conditioner to work harder can not find sliding shades to fit them also trying to watch the TV over bunk you get glare from skylight. Plenty of storage for clothes with 2 cabinets for husband and wife. Bathroom is little two small hit your head on wall when getting off pot plenty of outside storage. Workmanship isn't the best quality. But I still love are sunseeker.

    I love the kitchen layout, the over the cab bunk, and the large sink. I hate the step up into the bath area (I would fall and break something), it needs a kingsize bed, and I don't like the booth. I thought the price was pretty good though.

    I think this is the one I want if I could at least have a washer. Not a combo though. Hate the twisty things on outside. They are way too small for my arthritic hands. Maybe I'll keep looking just a little more. Really like inside though.

    @johncaruana6406 2 года назад +1

    Dislikes: Exterior doors open down instead of sideways; Exterior TV door opens down - nothing to prevent sun glare; No bumper to store sewer hose; Couch too close to passenger seat preventing recline; Poor placement of TV; Step up going into bedroom. Likes: 12 Volt refrigerator; Kitchen storage; Split bathroom.

  • @davidcline9547
    @davidcline9547 2 года назад +1

    Like the bedroom lay out, like that it comes with the solar, like the kitchen. Dislike the tv placement, dislike the mid entry because the co captain can NOT lean back that was a deal breaker for us when we looked at them.

NUMBER 2, The Kitchen, Counter, Space, Fridge, Pullout Pantry, NUMBER 3. 3 things we Don't Like about this unit, it is not the Winnebago Revel out the front window........Slide out and the bunk over the cab, (also the storage doors..), sorry that is 4!

    My only problem with the "RV Community" talking politics is it appears most think everyone in California smokes pot, drives terrible, and lives on welfare.

  • @FrankBullitt390
    @FrankBullitt390 2 года назад +1

    Was just in one of these, seemed very small for how large they are exterior wise. From the booth you can stretch and touch everything, bathroom door, kitchen, driver seat. A 32-35' class A is better imo

  • @anthonyb2334
    @anthonyb2334 2 года назад

    I think this is a great product and a great layout. Our friends have the Forester version of this (2019 year). We’ve traveled with them and been in it for about 10 trips and it works really well. Very well made coach. They don’t have the outside TV and they have a rear bumper but everything else is very similar. We were torn between buying this model last summer but opted for a small Winnebago class A.
    Three likes: the bathroom has plenty of room with the sink outside the bathroom.
    Lots of storage inside a spacious bedroom
    Very decent cargo carrying capacity .
    Three dislikes:
    I don’t like the extra skylight in the living area. From personal experience, it allows too much heat in the summer time.
    The passenger seat is a little tight. Can’t recline the seat back at all.
    The outside TV door could be a problem. You have to be very careful with it.
    I also don’t like the trim on the bottom of the slideout.
    Thank you for this video. This is a great coach at an excellent price

  • @diannemccarthy8685

    I like that the bed is fully usable with the slide in. I hate the fold up beds.

  • @larrygray1557
    @larrygray1557 2 года назад +1

    There is a lot to like with the space, bed that doesn't fold for the slide, skylight panels, and capacity with improved efficiency of the Ford V8 over the V10. While I would love over a Transit of Mercedes C Class platform it also represents my dislike for not this model but Ford E Series and Chevy chassis Class C's in general. With Forest River reviewing comments, perhaps will take a step back and look critically at the product. Never expressed this in writing before, but the Ford/Chevy chassis builds just seem dated and manufacturers are loath to make changes. Examples: Not Truma instant hot water but the 6 gal water of yesteryear prevails. While valences are OK and didn't get a reaction out of Andrea, piping edges in the upholstery - worse yet standing out with contrasting color - REALLY??? it is so 1960's. Nice to see finally got the 190w solar on roof as an option (specs don't state inverter capacity or battery capacity and no lithium option) for future upgrade to levels available in transits and sprinters after years of this chassis only offering "solar prep" or worse, the side connecting portable solar. Finally, what were they thinking with the floorplan design not moving the door up to allow the passenger seat to recline and adjustment which also legated both swiveling and enhancing the living area. Biggest recommendation to manufacturers is take a blank sheet critical look at the offering and not be afraid to step away from the same old production/ordering template. Then thing would really get exciting!

    tv door could even just have couple cables on it so it folds down like a table in front of tv, still hate twisty locks too, but regardless, just adding those to cables so tv door can be a table surface instead of hang down, problem solved.

    @racinj7134 2 года назад +2

    How did I know twisty locks would be on your typical repetitive list. Want better locks, buy a more expensive RV. As far as the TV, if you have the door go up, it then blocks the window. There's consequences. You would have dinged it for that if they had it go up, so would be a now win situation. I guess could just not give you an outdoor TV!

    So you buy something use something and that voids your warranty? That's like saying I watch my TV all day so I got no warranty . I drive my car every day from work and home voids my warranty. I love in my house full time so I voided my warranty.
    That's something that needs to be changed by the manufacturers or build a tougher product if they're worried about people living in something time

  • @williampeacy5217
    @williampeacy5217 2 года назад

    Sadly, if you want to travel in a motorhome, you need to have a “toad” to go “touring” while having a base camp set up. Many aren’t ready to pull a vehicle and not all vehicles can be flat towed. It is different than pulling a travel trailer. It is more like a semi. I have done both. What is a solution? Rent a car at each base camp. It can be more cost efficient than purchasing a separate vehicle to be a toad for the campers that only go out a few times a year. Ideally, there should be a network of car rental agencies to rent cars to motorhome campers. I think that many would rather do that than modify the vehicle they use on a daily basis while at home. This wouldn’t be for full-timers.

Likes: it's not brown/tan/beige, external tv, two ac's, pull out storage drawers under dinette seating, skylight (except cheap shade), love the pull out pantry, storage under bed,

      Because if it's not stated that it's for full-timing they'll deny any claim you put in for something that breaks. They'll say it's not designed to be lived in, only camped in occasionally, and therefore it's your fault something broke.

    All these class Cs kind of seem thrown together. Its a shame it costs so much to buy something so half ass
