Stealth by Forest River

Seriously TH shopping, made an offer on a used AK2612. Haven't come to final agreement yet. Not very many out there, and am really on the fence for new vs. used. Looking at length issues, really don't want to go over 31' tip to tail. Tow cap isn't an issue, towing with Dodge 3500, and only planning on hauling one m/c in the box. One thing I really liked about the Stealth series is how nice the box looks when not set up for hauling something.
  • Yes the Stealth is nice. I have a FSC 2812-34' overall. Go with fiberglass siding, not aluminum. I think the 2010-2013 Stealth's are the best quality. Mine is a tri-axle. Tracks like it is on rails. Very pleased with mine. Good luck on your purchase. PM me if you have any questions.
  • One I am looking at is a 2014, will have to check siding material.
  • I also like the Stealth but ended up going with a Fusion 342. The dual electric bunks in the back worked better for the family. Good luck with the TH.
  • This one is the G series upgrade, smooth exterior, and electric stacking beds in the box. Also has the Arctic upgrade. Think everything is coming together to bring it home on Tuesday. I ordered a hitch, different from the E Z Lift I have been using for years. Husky 32218 Center Line TS with Spring Bars - 800 lb. to 1,200 lb. Tongue Weight Capacity. We are really looking forward to getting out, wife is already planning trips.

    I don't expect to be hauling the Harley anywhere soon, mostly us trips planned right now.
  • Very happy with our purchase, kids already want to borrow.....said....NO!!!

    Aluminum siding, but I didn't really have much choice, as I had a trade, and was going used. Fit and finish are very nice, we are getting ready for a shakedown 2 nights.
  • Shakedown went well, was planning on getting weights on the return, but the scaleheads at the Federal Way scales were not rotated to the outside view. Going out again next weekend, but not sure if route will include I-5.





  • Nice looking rig. The fun starts now. We have really enjoyed our FSC2812. After looking at all the rest, we found the Forest River Stealth very well constructed. When you get to your first campground, crack a cold one for me. Someday I will figure out how to post my photos here.

    If you hit quote on my post with picture, you will see the format this forum needs. I post to photobucket or flickr, with all settings to private, and get photos here by copying and pasting into the format that way. Going out again this weekend, and taking the Harley out on the 3rd trip planned.
