We were excited to get this RV several years ago. The bloom fell off the rose in a short time. It is complicated to use. On one trip the stabilizers would not go down. We had to take it in for service to get the settings reset. On another trip the slide did not work. Had to have help with that too. It is ok if you are mechanically inclined but it is not for someone who just wants to rely on the ability to get up and go. We had another basic Class C RV for 19 years and did not experience as many problems with that basic RV as we have with this luxury RV. Do not think we would get this again.

Mercedes Sprinter is excellent. Paint job is beautiful. eGen seems to work fine, but is very complex to operate. BIGGEST PROBLEM IS ALMOST NO CABINET SPACE!!! I called the factory to ask why no cabinets over the theater seats or the bed and they said weight. (Seems that other brands can have these cabinets, why not Dynamax. I am looking to trade it in and its a 2025 model, and brand new. It just isn't liveable without enough storage inside.

Have 24 ft Dynamax isata 3 with recliners instead of table and chairs. This RV is just Ok. Not sure if we would buy it again. It is 4 Years old I thought that we were buying a luxury model RV but the quality is marginal. The shower walls needed to be supported as the vinyl or plastic was not adhering to the walls well. Also the bottom of the shower leaked and I had to put caulking at the bottom of the shower to keep the water in the shower. The batteries did not last very long and needed replacements after 3 years. The outdoor shower leaked and had to be fixed. The 3 way water input dial broke off and we had to have a costly repair on the road. Last thing to happen today is the automatic leveling system quit. Repairs and maintenance are very expensive. The trim inside the Isata is flimsy. The curtain for the bed above the drivers and passenger seat has screws that fall out of the track that hold the curtain. Service at the Mercedes dealer is very expensive. Single air conditioner is small and cannot keep up with temperatures 90 degrees or higher. It is the best driving RV that we have had though. Knowing all of this I do not think that I would buy another. We had a 29 ft Class C Searcher with a Ford for 19 years!!!! No troubles with the Searcher. Not costly to maintain. Disappointed in the Isata 3 Dynamax.

Dear Jamie: My husband Bill & I are writing to say thank you so much for all you have done for us. We are tremendously impressed with Forest River and how they have handled our complaints. We originally went to the dealership where we bought our RV and they said that they had contacted Forest River and were told nothing could be done about the issues regarding the peeling bathroom door and rear upper shock attachment bolts that had snapped off. This is when we took matters into our own hands and contacted Forest River on our own. You wrote us back immediately saying you would look into the matter and get back to us. Within a few weeks we had a brand new bathroom door delivered to us and then a few weeks later a cheque arrived in the mail for $500.00 compensating us for the work that the Mercedes Dealership charged us. We are totally impressed by the integrity of Forest River and how this was handled. We are going to be giving Forest River a great review online! Thanks again, Jayne & Bill

The automatic levelers on the front collapsed and had to be totally replaced. After inspection, it was determined they were not installed properly and the design was faulty. I contacted the manufacturer and received no help. They wined about warranty being expired. I claim this is a manufacturing problem and a severe safety hazard. After almost four months, they to pay for parts but nothing else and want to jack me around with paperwork. I'm going to file a claim with the National Traffic Safety people as the jacks could fall off or at the least leave you stranded with the jacks will not retract. By the way, the fuel economy is not that good.

This has been the worst purchase we have ever made. We have owned our Isata 3 for 3 months and have yet to be able to use it. The generator doesn’t run, the slide doesn’t work properly, the awning is falling off, and these are just the large issues. There seems to be no quality control at Dynamax. Additionally the experience at the dealer has been less than stellar. Lazy Days has not found one issue during what they say is an extensive check list that they go through before delivery. They continue to deliver the unit to us with multiple problems that we then have to identify and then return the unit back to their service department. There is no communication or interest from either Dynamax or Lazy Days to resolve a very unhappy customers concerns.

Like: 1. Solar panels (need more) 2. 1000 watt inverter (need more) 3. Tankless water heater (finally got the switch to work properly). 4. Flooring Don't Like: 1. Very poor workmanship. 2. Camera cover fell off due to poor installation. 3. Furnace broke during installation. 4. Shower door/curtain off track at bottom. 5. TV mounted on fixed mount (I changed for swing out). 6. Had to engineer my own way to keep drawers closed. 7. Front end should have been realigned due to the heavy load. Wore out tire quickly. 8. Flip up counter slopes and not level with the main counter. 9. Tore my pants on metal trim around the entry steps. 10. Wipers worn out due to years taken to build camper on MB Sprinter. 11. Had to bend latches on storage bins to secure doors. 12. Wiring bundled up and hidden under chassis. 13. No real diagrams for anything except for individual product literature. 14. Split bed. Put a 4" gel mattress on it. 15. Roof leaks occasionally. Can't find it. 16. Rear wheels are recessed too much, makes vehicle unstable. 17. Drives and sounds like a banging U-Haul truck. 18. Needs real oven instead of convection oven.

Sewer hose does not fit in sewer storage pipe ,Too long, propane outlet not bolted to frame , towel hanging in sink ,too low,one T V and microwave never worked,sewer pull lines too long,cant pull to open.Push out keeps dying when pushing out.the GPS has everything but what a camper really neads, Took me 20000 km to find campgrounds, The GPS in this unit is a piece of shxx, Unit never was cleaned under pushout ledge, wire ,insulating pieces dust chips etc.I have to say they installed good quality produces. but very poor workmanship and no quality control. Forest River warranty almost useless Dealer was almost the same, still waiting for information on inverter from dealer manager. I fixed all factory screwups. as dealer is 2600 miles away
