FR Forester vs Sunseeker - what's the difference?

We've narrowed down our next RV to the Forest River Forester 2401B on the Mercedes chassis.

In my search I see some dealers have the Sunseeker 2400B. This looks exactly the same. Is there a difference, or is this just marketing/branding? (reminds me of Winnebago vs Itasca)

So I am guessing no real difference? I'll talk to the dealer and see what they have to say, but thinking it's just branding, unless it's options in which case if the Sunseeker has the same options, then it's a moot point.

Wondering if one has a greater re-sale value. On RV trader I only see 1 Sunseeker MBS for every 10 Foresters.

If i remember correctly, when i purchased my Sunseeker in 2018 i had to pay for certain options that the Forester offered as standard. I think it was the hydraulic jacks and Arctic pack which gave me heat pads and higher R value insulation. I think the Forester offers full body paint over the Sunseeker and possibly 50 amps in larger floorplans.


So the ones I have been looking at are apples to apples. Maybe the dealers ordered them that way. Jacks, Paint, (the sprinter based units only come in 30A). They are literally the same as far as I can tell

Pretty cool tool. Based on that they are identical. I was wondering more if it's a fit and finish or options difference, but doesn't seem to be.
