Reflections on 6 Months of RV Research! ;)
Hi Class C Forum, I caught the RV bug about 6 months ago after a particularly stressful stretch at work. Researching RVs has become the way that I decompress when I have some discretionary time. Cu...

The Sunseeker 2300 looks very good on paper ... assuming subtle behind the scenes workmanship is there.
It's not quite obvious from the floorplan, but it looks like both front cab seats can be swiveled to face back on either the Chevy or Ford chassis. If so, this means that the floor must not have any step-up going from the cab to the coach. Swivel seats is a super feature on Ford or Chevy chassis based Class C motorhomes if the 2300 has it, but what you may be giving up to get the flat floor that makes these seats possible is outside storage cabinets that aren't very tall ... hence restrictive in what can they can carry.
The fresh water capacity is way up there, just under that of class-leading Lazy Daze fresh water capacity.
Notice that the Chevy chassis is about 6 inches longer with the same 2300 coach on it. I'm partial to having a V10 Ford E450 with a TorqShift tranny under a rig like the 2300, but many would argue that the 4500 Chevy would be just as good or superior due to cab room around the doghouse. DO NOT get the 2300 on the Ford E350 or Chevy 3500 ... only the E450 or 4500 will do.
You might want to make sure that the driver's seat can be slid all the way back and tilted most of the way back without bumping into the dinette.
Does the Sunseeker come with a spare and tire changing equipment and does it come with heated grey and black tanks for cold weather driving and camping?
Good luck with your shopping!
