My sister last week bought a a 23' 2251 Forster, on the E450 with the outgoing V10.
It drives VERY well. She had her mind set on a Sprinter chassis, until she test drove the Forester, which drove more car-like (which is the opposite of my brother's 30' Forester on a barely-longer wheelbase). So far, she's been been getting better than 10 MPG on her first couple trips, no doubt due the 6-speed. It has not been hooked to a trailer yet, but it has a 7,500# hitch receiver, bolted to a Ford-QVM-compliant frame extension. Payload is nearly 4,000 pounds.
Build quality on the coach is ok. Everything works as it should, but fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired.
