Sunseeker 3050S

Hi there, My wife and I are looking at a 2017 Sunseeker 3050S. We love the floor plan and it has all the features we want. My only concern is about the quality. I read a lot of posts that Forrest River is not a top end builder. I'm looking for info on the weak points and strong points they have. I just don't want to buy it if it will give us trouble and headaches in a couple of years.

Thanks for the help.

  • Happy with our Sunseeker. Took us to Alaska and back last summer. Opps yes the windshield has a crack, but I don't blame that on Forest River.
  • One can debate brands and models ad nauseum as to concerns real or perceived. Other than a few minor things that I took issue with, I love my Sunseeker and loved my ROO the same.
  • Recently sold our 2003 Sunseeker 2900S. We never had any major issue with it and 99% of the little things that went wrong were easily fixed. Just saw the newer ones at a recent show they look great and I would have no hesitation buying another one. We went with a new TT for different reasons but none were for poor workmanship!
  • We have a 2016 sunseeker 2250 which has had no problems. Fit and finish has been very good w/ fiberglass including the roof.
  • Our friends just visited us with their 30' Sunseeker. I've always been impressed by their well-thought-out floorplans and apparent quality; and their motorhome is truly beautiful. But it was pretty obvious that Sunseeker builds a solid TV - our friends hit some sort of debris on the expressway that caused their inner dually wheel to explode :-( The damage to the RV? It took out the wheel-well fender - an easy and cheap repair. Our friend said it appears that the wheelwell itself is metal-reinforced?

    Those brands, Sunseeker and Forester, have emerged as rising stars over the last several years. I'd definitely consider them.
