brooksrimes Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 We came close to buying a Forest River Sunseeker 3050S from a private individual until we did reading here: https://www.rvinsider.com/Forest-River-Sunseeker-RV-Reviews?manu=Forest+River&brand=Sunseeker&sort=date&order=desc#wrapper_invert There is one huge slide and several people had major problems with it. There are also many complaints about quality of workmanship in general and the manufacturer not being responsive. We knew what kind of class A to buy (Tiffin) but aren't really familiar with class Cs. Besides Forest River, local dealers carry Coachman, Jayco and Thor. Which of these have good quality and are responsive to customers? Are Winnebago's solid class C's? I think they might be. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXiceman Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Our daughter has a friend with a full wall slide Forest River motorhome and it has been in for repairs on the slide 4time now. They were with them on the last trip and it took 6 men to push the slide in. They have had it with the RV and are looking at Lemon Law and an attorney. I personally would not have a full wall slide.

Ken We had a full wall slide on our Winnebago 34Y Class A and never had a problem with it. Oh, except for the time my cane fell over as we were closing the slide and it got caught but that was not a manufacturer's problem.

brooksrimes Posted March 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 I wonder if that's a difference in quality between a Winnebago and a Forest River? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrknrvr Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Maybe look at Lazy Daze class C. Just saying, Vern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooksrimes Posted March 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Appreciate the post Vern. I agree with you. Used ones are very rare. New ones are a 2 year wait, just checked with the factory this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxon Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Lazy Daze class C. There’s a two year waiting list to buy new but you may be able to find a used one. Very well built and they hold their value.

Access 31c Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I have a Winnebego 31c, I find it is very well built . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXiceman Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 We had a Minnie Winnie 31 ft class C and it was good and very few problems. When you started listing the model, you need to see who the parent company really is. Thor and Forest River account for something over 80% of the TV manufacturers in the US. Winnebago is not owned by either of these so far. Over the past few years, Jayco and Tiffin (Allegro and Vanleigh) have fallen to Thor. Grand Design and Newmar were taken over by Winnebago. With any large class C, be very aware of the GVWR and the cargo carrying capacity. Most have very limited cargo carrying capacity. As a condition of the sale, I would insist that the dealer weight the RV and see how much room you have for cargo.

Tom_M Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Also add Born Free to the list. I purchased my 2005 in 2010 and can attest to the build quality. I believe that the last Born Free built was in 2017.
