2017 forest river Sunseeker reviews

I have emailed many time about the unit and have talked with the manager Cody a few times. No one has gotten back to me. I would say customer service is not there strong point nor is wanting to sell rv's. I would ask to speak to the manager but having done so this is only a place to window shop at. Show less

This RV is extremely easy to drive, the floor plan and open space is fantastic for a small RV. The diesel engine gets really good mileage. Fits at all RV parks, state parks and friends driveways! Comfortable seating. Show less

The first day we took it home the RV slide for the bedroom had to be repaired because it got stuck. Our generator lasted about 15 minutes and died . They replaced 2 generators before we got one that worked. The decorative trim falls off all the time so we just put it in a drawer until we bought a nail gun. The slide under the dining room has had water pour in while we were driving and it fills up the storage bins and ruined everything. We took it back twice and it was never fixed right. Now they say it's our problem. The awning separated at the seams at the ends and had to be replaced. Door handle fell off. Drawers in the wardrobe in the bedroom won't latch closed. I have notified Forrest River and have not yet heard back from them. We are retired and because of the water damage that was never properly fixed, the floor behind the drivers seat is spongy and I'm afraid the wood and floor is damaged. No help for this problem from CW or the manufacturer. I still owe a great deal of money and I can't even sell it. These companies have "stolen" our retirement dream and money. All I can say is LEMON!!! Don't buy from them. Show less

We liked that it was comfortable and had so many nice features. The freezer had plenty of room. The stove worked great. Lots and lots of storage space. Outside faucet/shower great for doing dishes. Nice low lighting with LED for awning at night. Show less

Drove through 36 states, did not tow, coach easy to drive and can park and get into most places. Great rv for 2 people. Not crazy about putting air in duel tires. Cushions in dining area could use a few more inches of padding. Show less

THIS IS OUR 2ND MERCEDES / SPRINTER UNIT. THIS UNIT HAS A GREAT FLOOR-PLAN, ESPECIALLY FOR A COUPLE. THE MERCEDES DIESEL IS QUITE, POWERFUL AND ECONOMICAL. IT DRIVES LIKE A PICKUP AND HANDLES WELL. WE TOW A KIA SOUL 4 FLAT AND THE MERCEDES DOESN'T KNOW IT'S BACK THERE. THE LARGE SLIDE-OUT REALLY OPENS UP THE COACH AND PROVIDES A REALLY COMFORTABLE QUEEN BED. THE FULL ENTERTAINMENT CENTER IS EXCEPTIONAL. WE PARK ALMOST ANYWHERE WE WANT. CAMPGROUNDS ARE A BREEZE. THE 30 AMP ELECTRIC CONNECTION POWERS EVERYTHING WITH EASE. POWER AWNING ALLOW US TO SIT OUTSIDE WITH ANY MANUAL SETUP. ALSO HAS 2 ELECTRIC STABILIZING JACKS. WE LOVE THIS UNIT. Show less

This is a very comfortable motorhome to drive. Our first trip was 1200 miles to Maine. The quality is pretty good. I've had a couple small things that needed repaired. Overall the 'local' dealer has been pretty good since I bought it in Ohio. Only aggravation was having the outdoor electric step repaired. I called for an appointment while under warranty but they couldn't get me in until it was out. They were working with FR about getting it covered. I asked them a couple times to order in parts and get it repaired because it was only a matter of who was going to pay. They didn't, waiting until they finally got approval from Forest River. They had the rig for a month and we missed a planned trip. Show less

Our 2017 Forest River Sunseeker 2400S was a big improvement over our previous 2014 Forest River Solera 24Sled (basically the same), in that they beefed up the sway control bar to Helwig, and they made little improvements that you notice right away. The basic design is great although it is a little boxy. The storage is great inside and out and it is easier to drive (larger sway bar). The only comparable unit is the Winnebago View, which is more streamlined and somewhat more fancy inside. But for the difference in the money, I would much rather have the Sunseeker. The Closet is huge w/ lighting and there are pull out baskets in the pantry for easy access to food and storage. There are large drawers inside which eliminate the need for luggage. The outside compartments are larger than on any comparable unit. As this was our second unit, we obviously feel it is the most practical unit out there for our needs. Forest River was pretty good as well in reimbursing us for repairs due to manufacturing errors. We photographed the problems and had a local RV repair shop fix the problems. We sent the bill and pictures to Forest River and they paid in full w/ no questions asked. We chose the 25' length so we could get into all the CA state parks and beaches. This is a great unit for the money and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Show less
