[AJS211]

Hi havent posted in a while but always read through the posts.i have a 08 sunnybrook Bristol bay 3420 bh and love the trailers quality never had one problem with it..but lately we are looking for more room inside. the bh takes up a lot of space that's not used that much.its a real pain on those raining night to fit the three of us on a couch.so we are looking at the sabre 36 ferb or the Sierra 377 flik both are made by forest river any input on these units ....I was in a sabre today looking at it and have to say very impressed with the quality cabinets , counter tops , and over all fit and finish of the unit .so who can jump in that might have one or know these units

We have a 2013 Sabre and have been very happy with it. I agree about the frameless windows, they look sleek and cool but don't allow for alot of ventilation. If you order your new camper from the factory I would suggest you consider thermopane windows.

Yea I like the look as well but having them only open a crack is a disadvantage at least with the dual pains the windows won't sweat

I love the look of the frameless windows but did not get them. The ones I've looked only open at the bottom and we like to have lots of ventilation so we went with he standard windows. I will go dual pane on our retirement unit as we will travel in colder climates.

We have an old front living unit and love it. When Patti retires the end of August their is the possibility we will get a new one. We just want to stay under a hitch weight of roughly 1950#, if possible around 1850#. The Saber and Sierra look nice. We would probably would go with a Sprinter or maybe the Cougar, both front living.
Good luck with your choice. It is not easy.

I was told the seats were all lazyboy do u know if that's true?

In our 360 the recliners are Lazy Boy and I believe the theater seat that sits across from the TV on the flik is. That theater seat is very comfortable.

Thanks for the quick reply your rig looks like the ultimate party place with a rear deck. This flik is growing on us fast lol

We owned a 2013 FR Sandpiper 366FL, Sierra has a twin. This was there first foray into the FL models. Overall excellent quality unit and gave few problems. We traded it on a FR Sierra 360 PDEK because the living room felt tk crowded for us and prefered the open floor plan of the 360 and the rear deck.

We looked at then 377FLIk and really liked it. Much better layout than the 366FL. One big issue with FL is limited basement storage. The 366 FL did havea rear outside bay under the bed which did help some.

Good luck and have fun shopping.
