Your Opinion on Forest River
Does anyone have any experience with a 2016 Forester diesel on Mercedes chassis? It's never been titled, at a dealer asking $79,000. Would like to know the good or bad about such an rv. Thanks in ...

Remember, Forest River, Winnebago, Foretravel - they don't make the components, they just put them together. Bad thermostat? Likely made by Dometic in any of those units. Converter? Same idea. We looked at Winnebagos, Thors, jayco - ended up buying Coachmen. Get the floorplan that works best for how you plan to use it. ST
From what I read in these forums, the majority of the problems with RV's are not from the components or RV chassis, per se. It's the design quality and build quality of the coach that most problems seem to center around.
For us ... floorplan was secondary to getting an RV that we had to buy just once, say, only every 15-20 years. A less than optimum floorplan we could adapt to - but trip postponements, in route delays/hassles, and budget busting expenditures due to unexpected design or build let downs would have been unacceptable.
By pure naive luck in choosing to go with Winnebago, we are years later still happy with the design and build quality, and we have grown to love most aspects of it's stock floorplan.
