Well here she is 2011 Forest river stealth fs2612 Limited.
We were dead set on the 2018 forest river sandstorm 251GSLC. We tried to negotiate with two dealers and one said nope not happening we have the best price around at 36k. Second dealer said best we can do OTD is 40k. I honestly didn’t feel like biting the bullet and just paying the full asking price they wanted. A lil negotiating would of been cool, but nooooo. At this point I just tell Nicole we will wait it out,
No rush as we want to make the right purchase and feel happy about the deal. What else to do with a naked drive way, I hit up craigslist. My search was all CA,AZ,NV,OR. And Texas since my in laws live there. We really didn’t find anything that met
Our wants, and if I did find it, it was I coregated siding which is a deal breaker for me. For the next few days I was sharking CL - I did a local search but in the general search bar instead of RVs and Came across this stealth. I like what I read in the description and it was only 20 mins away. I was a lil hesitant to present an older used trailer to Nicole, but I told her and I
Said we will just look, but if you like it and it checks out I’m fine with used if you are. Well we pull up and she sees a dirty trailer and
First words were nope we’re not buying that. I said well it can be cleaned and polished out no problem let’s see what it’s about. Lo and behold the inside is immaculate, and she agrees - she likes it! STOKED!!!
For those watching the new vs used thread this is a perfect example of used is not a bad thing if your patient enough. We
Went from 2013 Pacific coachworks powelite 19’ to this. You don’t get everything you want but the pros out weight the cons for us.
Pros:
1 Owner (custom order in 2011)
No toys ever loaded, ever!
Solar
Fiberglass siding
On board gen (only 56 hours)
Aluminum framing
105 gallon water tank
36gallon fuel tank
9 good size windows
Dry weight 6200#s
Bigger kitchen
$18,000 - $23,000 In savings (now the RZR is up for sale ) 🙂 upgrade time!!
I like the lighter wood interios, I don’t care too much for the newer dark and grey ones.
Cons:
Manual awning
Fuel station is on curb side
No bed room door (has curtain)
Smaller bathroom
96” wide compared to 102” wide
Needs a buff and polish (I’m dreading it)
Only two stabilizers (rear) I need to add two in the front
No black tank flush out (have to run hose to toilet )
No ladder

3M is good stuff! I washed it today, it’s actually not bad at all but still needs a pass with the machine.
this is best wax I have found It really lasts.
There’s no pic?

Wheels bearings repacked, brakes are good.
The more I explore the TH, the more I’m impressed. All the wiring is properly ran and wire loomed. Our last trailer the wires were ran all over the place. Added a built in soap dispenser in the kitchen, was surprised to see some copper and underneath.

I’m not sure, after looking up some the TH with 16” I think it will work for mine
What do you all think?
