2015 Forest River Forester - Complaints and Opinions?

We have had a wonderful Jayco Eagle 5th Wheel since 2000, but it is getting old and so are we. Pulling that with a crew cab truck is getting a little much. We are looking at buying a 2015 Forest River Forester with only 10,000 plus miles. It looks great and yet, we are leery of spending $64000 on the unknown. I would appreciate any feedback on this type of Class C or recommendations on really good ones. We are retired and cannot spend a fortune. Thanks for any help.

    What is the Forester model number?

    We purchased a new 2016 Sunseeker 2250 by Forest River last October, and have been pleased with it overall. The build quality is probably average; they put them together as fast as they can, just like the rest of the industry. We've been super pleased with the GM chassis after owning a Ford for several years.

    No matter what you have or what you purchase, store it out of the weather when not in use if possible. Heating, cooling & moisture are an RV's worst enemies.

    There is nothing wrong with the truck at all, but it is huge and difficult to back into spots. The trailer we love it, but we are aging and we need something a little easier. Thanks for the input everyone.

    Keep the teuck, spend a few thousand on necesary repairs, and spend a few thou more on a decent TT. Save a lot of money.
