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.

We have owned several Sunseeker motorhomes over the years and have been very impressed with. The quality is better and along with more options than the other comparable brands. The overall quality is at an advantage. The 3100SS model was the backbone of the 31ft Sunseeker Lineup for many years. Great outside and inside storage along with the Super Slide in the livingroom. In 2016 they discontinued the model. We then bought a 3010DS two slides with a similar layout to the 3100SS has been a great RV as well even though we lost quite a bit of outside storage. If you want to go smaller without the class B price tag I would recommend the 2290s. Easy to drive and operate. Coming from a service writer I would recommend the Sunseeker, Coachmen, and Forester models over the other comparable class c brands.

We purchased our new Sunseeker in Feb. 2017. From the date of purchase until now, we have had nothing but problems! These problems include: refrigerator and a/c not cooling, "Bigfoot" jack system not working (twice to the dealership for this problem alone),camera system stopped working (we don't know why),window blind fell down for no reason, a stress crack formed in the windshield (again for no reason) and we had to get our windshield replaced. In addition, we are having problems with our airbags, suspension, and we need to have a steering stabilizer installed to keep the coach from drifting all over the road. In addition, we keep finding bits of cut wire fragments,molding pieces,and screws all over the floor.So, I am waiting for the day when a cupboard falls onto my head, or something like this. I am in the process of getting the coach classified as a "lemon" because we have not been able to use it at all this summer because of all of these repairs. Forest River has done NOTHING for us in terms of compensation for loss of usage etc. I will never buy another Forest River product again!
