We have been shopping a LONG time for our 1st motorhome. I think we will finally pull the trigger at Hershey this fall.
We really loved Hershey show last fall since virtually all motor homes in production were represented. Looked at Sunseeker Class C's, Thor ACE, Hurricane, Winny Class A's and come to the following conclusion.
For the money, Winnebago had the best made motor home for the average Joe. We walked out setting our goal as a Winnebago Sightseer 33C. But, the more we thought about it, dropping $125K on a motor home was not a responsible thing to do.
We have been researching and really like the FR3 30DS. And given we can get one for almost half the price of the 33C, we plan on looking seriously at the FR3 in September.
The following logic keeps recurring: are better cabinets and a fiberglass roof, etc., really worth paying an add'l 60K? I read about many happy FR3 owners on the FR Forums and that FR is making many improvements during the year based on customer feedback (e.g. LED lighting throughout, King bed).
