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...

Interesting thread - I've also been immersed in RV research for several years now, and we plan to purchase our coach later this spring. Although I like the Nexus and the Phoenix rigs, the Forest River Sunseeker 2300 seems to offer the most bang for the buck in a 25'class C: crowned fiberglass roof, azdel construction, large tank capacity (50,39,39), real queen bed (60 X 80) and a choice between Ford and Chevy. Also, since we intend to do some extended European touring I've chosen a slide-less floor plan - just not enough room for slide outs in the tiny pitches you run across in Europe. So, has anyone else checked out the Sunseeker?

I have one on a Chevy, and we like it a lot. There are compromises that a prudent owner can take care of. One is the roof, and I want to address a common mis-impression, because some people assume it is truly one piece from eave to eave, but it isn't. Here is something I wrote previously. I have since Dicor'd the screws.

The Sunseeker roof is one piece of fiberglass. It is crowned. But it does not wrap over the sides. Instead they have a separate wrap corner piece, and seam covered with a typical roof trim strip, and of course where the sides meet the front and rear seams, there is a corner that catches water. It's not optimal IMO, but I will be closely watching and maintaining those seams. I have gone back and forth about applying Eternabond tape, but for now I think I will just stick with Dicor lap sealant and keep an eye on things. I need to put some Dicor over the exposed screws!
Here is a photo of the top-side seam:
