Well we did it today, we looked at the FR3. What a waste of our time. My DW thought it was doable, meaning we could probably replace our signature RV with the 25DS. Not on my dime. I've never seen so much unfinished plywood anywhere but in a lumber yard. The saleswoman didn't know how to lower the loft and just used the motor, tore all the screws out of the metal trim from around the edge of the plywood bottom of the bed. They stapled pieces of some sort of flimsy sheeting all over the cabinets to hide stuff like plumbing. The Dinette seats are about 2.5" thick on 1/2" ply. Some of the framing of the dinette isn't even painted. No Kitchen storage. The "King Size Bed" is a foam pad no thicker than the dinette seat pads and the bottom of the bed is hinged and has to be folded up in order to bring in the slide. There is no way to get into the bathroom without jiggling the bed. For 10K more than the FR3 25DS, you can buy a Winnie View. I actually think it would be closer to 16K but it's just a guess until you have the contract in hand. The 25DC we looked at even had the seven pin socket torn off the back because it is so low to the ground an average tire bumper would hit it. The 3" discharge pipe and the genny exhaust is about the same height.
Now it's on the back, unlit, burner with the LPG turned off. After I told her how I felt about the rig, she said she just wanted me to look at it, "cuse she felt it might be doable".
