We traded in our 2017 2801QS (the Forrester version) in January with 12,0000 miles and many camping nights. It did everything we wanted and more. For 2 people, I couldn't find or imagine a more roomy comfortable small RV.
What you *MUST* do once you take delivery is to have the front end aligned to FR specs. They and most class c manufacturers do NOT align the frontend after building so the weight is not accounted for in the alignment when it ships. With that and the right air pressure in the air bag, you will not have any handling problems that so many complain about with class Cs of an E450.
The only caution I would advise for this or any Class C (or A for that matter) is that you familiarize yourself with emergency slide retraction/extension procedure as the mechanisms used (Schiwntek) are notoriously bad (even the new and improved). We never had a problem but I was very engaged in the slide uses.
I think that FR via it's website/forums/club does an excellent job of being a responsive manufacturer and our personal experience with FR (not the dealer) was way beyond pleasant ans probably the best relationship we experienced over any other brand we have owned. They really go a step beyond. If you haven't done so, visit http://www.forestriverforums.com/ read the forums and see for yourself.
