I guess I'm the odd one in the 2017 models I think I would like the Sunseeker better. In our motor home shopping I originally wanted a Jayco Melborne looked at a 2007. We ended up with a 2007 Sunseeker 2860DS because a friend had one for sale at a great price, and we knew the history. Was a great purchase we used it for 2 years and traded it off for 11,000 more than what we paid. We weren't looking to buy a new one but we went to an RV show and after looking at all the new models we ended up with a 3051S Forester, just like Sunseeker only fancier. I think I would have been just as happy with a Sunseeker again but they didn't have any with full body paint in a size we liked.
We looked at all the new models I really don't like the beige color with the white truck and I don't know if they just had lower quality Jayco models but I didn't like them at all. I did see a Four Winds I thought was nice but too small.
Two years ago the Jayco Melborne was going to cost 25,000 more than the Sunseeker we bought, it was much fancier. However it had almost 50,000 miles and the Sunseeker had 12,000 miles same truck. I will say the Jayco was way prettier but I never regretted purchasing the Sunseeker.
Good luck I think shopping and researching is half the fun. Course so is making an impulse purchase and figuring out just what you bought too.
