Update on my 2021 Forest River 3010DS that is being built.

Ordered 8/8/2021.

Will come off assembly line 9-17. Then 3/4 weeks for full body paint. The factory says the supply of parts is the biggest holdup due to the virus.

Actually i am very happy with the progress.

I will get the coach just in time to do my first winterize :) LOL

No honestly i am very fine with the dates and progress. It will have one 100w solar panel done at the factory, and then once it arrives at the dealership i am adding 2 more 100w panels. The controller can handle up to 5 100w panels.

Our first camping experience will be Skyline Drive starting at Front Royal VA.

  • Jimbo, why stop there, when you exit Skyline, pick up Blue Ridge Parkway and continue for another 405 miles, making the entire trip 510 mi +/-, should be good for at least 3 weeks.

    Can the solar wiring? Three and then five panels foreclose wiring in series which can reduce necessary wire size.
