Have run this unit for almost 2 years now. Have made several long trips and been in it for several weeks at a time with it.
So, Pros first.
Good overall interior lighting.
Fridge is good size. A handy second fridge in front storage.
Bathroom fan switch is on the wall. The bathroom fan vent (switch is also on the wall) is power open. Both items are a no brainer.
A solid door to rear bunk area is way better than a curtain.
Windows are a good size in most areas, the tint helps keep sun heat out on those hotter days.
Cons:
All vents on the roof (bathroom, bedroom) should come with covers. I could not believe they did not have covers. They had to be the first thing added.
Exterior needs another receptacle (on a different circuit) closer to the rear of the unit. No one uses a coffee maker at the front.
Should have better exterior lights around the entry.
The exterior access for the garbage can is too small.
Storage setup is a huge waste of space. To access water setup for winterizing, you have to take a wall apart? As in figure out which screws are needed to remove a wall. A lot of wasted space under this area. This needs a rethink.
While it is obvious that the faster you manufacture one, the more money you make. Several electrical fixtures were loose, the first time I plugged the unit in, it would not charge the batteries. By a fluke I found a loose connection under the interior steps. The entire electrical system needs better attention to quality. My fireplace was pushing out in one corner, I took it out and found so much excess wire behind it. I cut out about 4 - 6 feet from most of the wires. What a waste.
Now to enter the unit, the four step solid steps are too heavy for smaller people to lift, they should have the easy step.
It needs a better kitchen table and seating setup. The seats had drop down flaps to under seat storage that was useless and not accessible. I made slide out drawers to be useable.
It needs another useable receptacle in the kitchen area. Why is a receptacle behind the garbage access?
The TV is mounted on a chase just inside the main entry, it was so poorly installed that most of it came apart after one trip. I had to take it entirely apart and rebuild it to be secure.
However this was simply part of the entire interior trim that was so poorly installed and many areas just not finished . I spent 8 hours just repairing or securing interior finishes.
Overhead doors should come with a hold open hinge.
The rear bunk area should have an operable window.
The bathroom door is installed in a way that makes it awkward to get in to the room.
The master bedroom needs more footroom around it.
The bedroom closet slideout needs to be deeper.
The heating vent design make the master bedroom and bathroom extremely warm, the lower areas are still subzero.
Overall, the layout needs a bit more planning. Forest River has some with much better layouts now
