INSANELY SPACIOUS with the Slide Out Room In! Forester 3011DS

[@ronaldspins]

@ 10:30 Good Golly I love all of the Mothering when Matt goes up and down the ladder. And the Godzilla is the best powerplant ever for a motorhome. No Lie

[@denniskissinger7937]

Just purchased this 2021 model as our first class c, at a RV show. This had the best floor plan, most storage inside and out, and love the outside TV. You hit on a lot of our likes and dislikes, but you forgot to mention the grey and black tank discharge is inside the compartments, less of a "backing into a curb" hazard. Easy to drive, the drivers seat is one of the points that sold me.

[@kevinm2990]

This is my favorite Rv out of any you have ever reviewed

[@been2all505]

It’s 100% usable with the slides in. That’s awesome!

[@debrawyza3217]

I like the placement of the inside TVs. You don't loose wall space, no weird swing out arm in the bunk. Totally approve. And I love that it's 99% usable with the slides in, cause stuff happens.

[@Obiter3]

30 feet is longer than I bought, but at least it's from Forest River. Great RV notwithstanding the cab carpet but that's an easy fix. but we're hitting the road next month in our 2021 Sunseeker! Saw it here on this channel. Wouldn't recommend this channel's "nationwide" network, though. They let me down. But nobody does a better review of RV's than this couple. Stay healthy, Matt. You're worrying me and Andrea is likely worried, too. So many people would like you and your awesome personality to live a long life surrounded by generations. 💗

[@carlsystem8519]

Agreed, we need MATT!

[@thecurationstation6310]

Yeah how you will keep up with Andrea?? we love you Matt

[@justinsmatters6792]

I would not buy my first rv without Matt, its the only rv channel I watch, its right get healthy matt! We all love you everyone loves you

[@CuriousDiscourse]

I love this channel and I love you guys. Give me a few years to save then I will be contacting you to get my own piece of heaven!

[@femalism1715]

Nice Class C. I love the U-shaped booth dinette! Plus the entire RV is usable with the slides in - wow! The kitchen is so functional - loads of counter space.

[@CindyBarg]

The U-shaped dinette booth is fabulous with much better drawers underneath than you generally see. Negative point...the dinette table is wobbly. Love the valance pattern...it's actually the first time I can honestly say that. Very nice that so much of the rv is calculated for comfort while the slides are in.

[@Hunterlewis675]

The bathroom is a deal killer

[@chrisrowland2223]

Love the kitchen layout with lots of counter space and the fact they matched the appliances. I agree with Matt on the outside storage doors, hate the twist knobs. Adding on top of that I wish their was a camp side spray port and for goodness sake move the propane port to the camp area, not in the rear

[@jsadamsster]

Like this model and layout. Thanks for showing class C's 30ish feet length.

[@MyBackyardScience]

We really liked this one. Nice review Matt and Andrea!

[@enjoythesilence169]

This is my favorite RV. One day I will own this! 😎

[@steveegbert3554]

Very nice, surprising how nice. Love the cabinet color and spacious floor plan.

[@lynnmaupin-simpson1215]

Huge kitchen. Like the light interior. Classy Class C. Lots of storage. Good work area with the dinette.

[@ericsmith2869]

I really appreciate you doing the bunk over cab so we can get an idea of how people fit up there. You should do that with every bunk over cab. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@williambradley2562]

Thanks Matt & Andrea for this Review of a Nice Class C from Forest River … 3 Things Like: Outside Storage, Dinette & Recliners .. 3 Things Dislike: Cargo Carrying Capacity, Not Solid Surface Counters & No Frameless Windows

[@michaelfullanaphoto7884]

I have a the 2018 model and it is pretty much unchanged. We love the layout, the fact that the trash bin is accessible from the outside. When traveling we never feel crowded with the slides in. Ours has full body paint and looks like the day it left the factory. I agree about the outside storage locks, could have been better. On our model, it came with a 4 door fridge which is bigger than the one in Matt's video, but then it does not have the pantry. Overall of all the Class C's we looked at this model was our favorite. No complaints about the quality so far.

[@marshaberg1337]

I love that comfy looking dinette!! Great job Matt & Andrea! As usual, a totally thorough review! You make it informative but also fun with all your little lines that I have come to expect and enjoy!

[@bobcleveland7316]

Love the space with the slides in, love the large countertop, love the cab bunk storage bins. Dislike the accordian door!! Dislike the small shower, dislike it only allows 440 lbs in the cab. Nice RV!!

[@angelofthelight6650]

Sold, I knew if I watched enough of your videos I'd find the RV that I was looking for and this is the one it has quite literally everything I want. I'm looking to get one of these by the end of 2023 so this one should be a good price by then

[@roberthennel]

Wow, very interesting use of space, perfectly usable on the road with the slides in, incredibly spacious in the camp with the slides out. I like the bunk over the cab. Let's be honest, most of her times, it will be the kids bed. I love the seating arrangement, U-shaped dinettes allow two people to work comfortably and the recliners are the perfect relaxing chair. I have one in my office and I am getting my mom one for her reading nook. Few things I would upgrade personally, but the price does take account of that

[@Bruin4Life]

Agree with everything you say hear except for the TV recliners. I would prefer to have a trifold sofa that maes into at least a 6’ bed as I have tall family members.

[@larryhudson3930]

One of the things I love about the Class C reviews, is that I have yet to find/see one that I like better than our Entegra Easteem 29V. (Still a great choice) Dislikes: storage doors, slide on passenger side, step to bedroom, flooring, partial backsplash, small shower, accordian door, and cramped toilet area. LIkes: powered theater seating, kitchen counter space, large windows in bedroom.

[@insaneindabrainbabiesTM]

Love the walk space while slides are in. That's it

[@sherriweber7105]

This is a nice Class C. My dislikes are the little table with the theater seats it will hit the dinette but I would take it out. I don’t like the outdoor storage doors. The other dislike is the bathroom being too tight. My likes are the slides when closed there’s room to walk. I like the counter space and the big Ushaped dinette. Thank you Matt and Andrea and Rv One of Fort Myers.

[@davidcline9547]

Great review! 1. Dislike the according door! Dislike that you can't walk around the one side of the bed. Dislike that the generator does not have door vent. 1. Love the living room lay out! 2. Love the u shape dinette. 3 the price point is great for what you get. The soft close drawers are a great feature. I wish entegra I ordered came with them!! This is my 2nd favorite lay out for a c class!!! Grate job Matt and Andrea!!!

[@dustinb2015]

Love the large class c reviews! Keep them coming!

[@careiner53]

You really hit the good and not so good of this motor home. Awesome job !

[@MT-un5xq]

I love the orientation of the U shaped dinette... Lengthwise instead of widthwise, very smart use of space. Also would rather have a pocket door in the bedroom. Love that kitchen, correct proportion, especially with the fridge size and that awesome pull out pantry!

[@DanielRuizNYC]

I like this Class C. There is so much room with the slides IN! I like the kitchen layout. The U-shape dinette is awesome! I agree with you, Matt about the twist locks and the droup down external storage doors. I am not a fan of exposed hook-ups. The shore power connector could have been installed in one of the storage bays. I would also like additional tail/real marker lights. Great video as usual!

[@bigj4223]

Good evening folks! I'm writing from the Chicago area and I must say that this Forester is almost the perfect class C motorhome for me!! Two things I would like !) should be about two feet longer and 2) lighter colored cabinetry. That's it!! I like the price point for this RV, it makes it more affordable for me. I plan on becoming a fulltime rv'er and this Forester would work very well for me. Thank you for reviewing this RV. Looking forward for more great reviews!!

[@garyag45]

I prefer the water fill on the left side behind a lockable door, Diesel engine, needs power both sides of bed. 👍😎🇺🇸

[@gordo864]

Great storage, but dislike the twisty locks. Great that you have full access to the coach including the bed. Great mirrors and cockpit area. Just wish class C’s could fit people 6’ 2” and taller more comfortably. Love the theatre seats. Great blinds, good amount of storage with soft close, love that. Love the U shape dinette with the storage underneath. Kitchen is great. The wireless charger is a nice touch. Not a fan of the microwave placement. Wish the shower was a bit bigger. Not a fan of the accordion door in the bedroom

[@pearlirene1491]

Love the swivel seats in front, u-shaped dinette, bed with room for CPAP/BIPAP. Also like that it can be used with slides in. Dislike accordion doors, needs a slider or regular door. Also those little trays are useless on the theatre seats, they should be larger and fold off to the sides out of the way. Not crazy about shower bathroom separation, but I do like how the door can be used to join them. I don’t really like the trash in the middle of the beautiful counter space. A little fluid could result in a huge mess. Love all the storage!

[@petertarantelli]

Love the kitchen!

[@jimmoore7725]

I like this class C. It is beautiful and functional with “living space”. Great storage! I agree with the likes and dislikes.

[@SpikeFastRacing]

This is exactly how slide outs should be done. It shouldn’t be unable to be used with slides in. The advantage of slide outs should just be for when you’re planted for a lengthy time. The fold up beds and Tetris configs should hopefully be a thing of the past going forward.

[@williamboone9333]

IHave one ,took it over the 29v .not as many problems. Do love the job you guys do watch all of them.

[@dorismatthews4416]

Hey Matt and Andrea, great review! I agree with both of you on the likes and dislikes you mentioned. I do wish the cabinets were lighter but that's just me! Keep on keepin' on!

[@williampeacy5217]

You can get a different color (Vermont) in the cabinet

[@tremjar1305]

very nice, like the fact you can use it fully as it sits, agree on that little table, i would end up coming along sitting down and breaking it.

[@stevez340]

Love the fiberglass roof, the 12 volt fridge, the theater seats, the TV position, the gas cooktop and the soft close drawers👍 I definitely hate the cheap crappy outside cargo doors and latches, the terrible microwave location and the come watch me shower in the hallway👎

I love the exterior storage and swivel seats. I however prefer north/south Master beds. I love Sun Seeker and Forest River RVs.

[@danevans2397]

Vanity mirror above sink could be a 4 inch deep cabinet with mirror. Everything else is perfect.

[@placesonthelist]

I rented the 2020 28.5 ' version in Alaska. Overall an good class C. The main issue we had were that the front bunk was terrible to sleep on. No padding and the ladder with bear feet is terrible to climb and worse coming down. I really wish the rental had those camera upgrades, driving this with only the side mirrors was bad.

[@timpeters3237]

Nice size and nice price.

[@enjoythesilence169]

My 3 favorites: -accessible with plenty of room with the slides in -the dinette and the sofa. Looks very comfortable -plenty of counter space 3 dislikes: -no starlight window over the bunk -the table trays on the recliners. Can they be removed? -cockpit needs a built in navigation touchscreen. The current one looks to far out and out of place. Would like to see it like the Mercedes touchscreen system or something similar. It's 2021. It should be more high tech

[@marnitanelson3913]

Where can you get a RV THAT IN FORT WAYNE Indiana I LIKE Which you channel Nice beautiful RV

[@sisken12]

Go to Inside 5 Next generation Luxury Private Jets. The inside of some of these are so much like a motor home!

[@donnac.1609]

Thus is the exact design as my 2016 Sunseeker. No updating in design. The dinette upholstery may be better. The door and awning will be an issue as the awning catches on the door. The window shades will pucker from the sun. The valances look better. The splash around the stove should go all the way up higher for walk protection from cooking. And the drop down outside cabinet doors are horrible. Especially the big one under the bedroom slide. May gave trouble filling fresh water tank if the fill fitting is in the same place as on the Sunseeker.

[@blakehendrix641]

I love almost everything but I wonder about the 30 amp service and 2 11k ACs… I’m not sure how well they’ll cool a rig this size in the Texas heat! Glad to see the cabinets all the way over the sofa and dinette, sooo many manufacturers leave it as open (aka wasted) space!

[@davva360]

I like the floorplan a lot. One of the better class C floorplans out there. However the cabinetry, while it does have soft close hinges which I like, has cheap wood. Its very noticeable even in the video. The veneer is cheap andI can almost guarantee it will not wear well.

[@leelanzini]

The bunk over the cab is one of the nicer ones I’ve seen! I don’t think I’ve seen one with cub holsters before

[@jfdr31]

I’m looking for something hopefully no bigger than a Class c where the focus is a decent office area, a recliner and decent sized shower and bathroom, and full or Queen bed. The bench and dining table areas don’t work well for me. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas.

[@kacperkalin2355]

Thanks for your presentation Matt and Andrea. What upgrade/s did Forrest River add to this model in comparison with same 2021 model? Visually it all looks the same to me. Are the billinstein and Hedwigs on both, front and back axes?

[@cherylbrown4123]

The bedroom area is too small and I don't like the flooring for some reason. I really like the storage cubbies in the bunk and the u shaped dinette

[@getcraig55]

I like this Class C, only thing I don’t like is those baggage door clips.. I hate those! But everything else is good

[@vettetax06]

Nice one, but not for us. 4-Likes: Soft-close drawers, flooring/decorations, updated cockpit, and most importantly Andrea's dress definitely worked in this video! Dislikes: No, no, no on those dang twisties! Floor-level microwave/oven, ouch my back??? Accordion door from the 70's. Thank you Andrea & Matt, great review as always!

[@johncaruana6406]

Nice motorhome. Need a nightstand on both sides of bed. Like Andrea I would prefer a pocket door instead of accordion door. Bathroom is just too small. Love residential refrigerator, power theater seats and general layout.

[@SharaBinghamMills]

Wow. For the price this is a nice C class. I really liked the interior but I did see a cushion that needed to go somewhere. Those drawers in the bedroom were small. The toilet was too tiny. There was a lot of storage outside. The kitchen was great. The fact you can keep the slides in and walk through it is pretty cool.

[@Chimp_6]

The extra cushion is the last piece of the puzzle to make the dinette into a sleeper.

[@SharaBinghamMills]

@@Chimp_6 I knew that but I have a problem with those extra things laying around or taking up storage space.

[@darrylanton9323]

Thx for the review guys! Very nice motorhome to full time in indeed :) 2 AC units at 11,000 btu each is such a smart engineering choice Forrester made in building this unit. My 30 foot 28Z w one AC unit needed supplemental cooling in really hot weather but the 8000 btu window unit draws only 9 amps and brought inside temps way down into the comfortable range of 80* even in 115* weather ;) That coach u reviewed may not need supplemental cooling at all?

[@karenlindborg879]

Love everything except the queen bed. Want a KING!!!

[@kathypetering3303]

Thanks Matt!! I was that subscriber!! Are the cabinets solid wood?

[@stevenfoster5737]

I never liked standard class C motorhomes because of the outside storage limitations. Wow this unit breaks that mold. The cargo doors could be better but at least they open all the way down. I have when they use cables or chains to suspend the doors half way open. That's a great way to break a door. Overall this is a great motorhome with a decent price. BTW inside see the TV placement bit unless I missed it you did not mention that's across from the theater seats. This one is nice.

We are the 2nd owner of a 2019 SunSeeker 3010DS on a 2018 E450 chassis. It has the EXACT same floor plan. I'm only 5'8" but the Shower while usable, is best used by a ballerina😲 Matt, as for the Toi-let-a, you are TOTALLY wrong🤔Right/Left handed, FORGET about 'wiping' with the door closed😬 (My wife is only 5'2") The door needs to be all the way open, mating to the magnet by the pantry. Then, one can 'maneuver' left/right🤫 Forget mounting the toilet paper on a wall. Get a pedestal! Yes, the bedroom accordion is useless...again, bathroom door opened to allow room to change clothes. BTW, 2019 Forest River QUALITY IS ATROCIOUS! Hope it is better(?) For 2022. Matt, you need to SLOW down, and show more close ups in the basements, focusing on the fit and finish; likewise as well throughout the RV.

Can you remove the tray tables from the theater chairs?

[@williampeacy5217]

I had the fortune to walk through a Sunseeker 2440DS. My wife and I really liked the coach. The downside was no couch, just a dinette. We started looking at the Forest River Sunseeker floorplans. We found the Sunseeker Classic 3010DS (Forester Classic 3011DS) to meet what we are looking for. It is a bit longer than we would like for the State/National parks, but it could work. I normally don’t like a camp side slide, but this isn’t so bad and still gives a decent length awning. It has great outside and inside storage. It also comes standard with a lane detection monitoring system. It comes in a lighter cabinet color as well. I like the option of auto leveling jacks. I can do without the outside tv (it is an option). I would rather keep the couch and not have the theater seating. I agree and love the U-shaped dinette. I like the fact that the there is room to walk and can use the bed with the slides in. The standard Winegard 360+ is nice to have as well. I had problems with my Forest River hard sided A-frame and the quality. The quality of the motorhome is much better and definitely something in which I am interested.

[@pennylynch4471]

@@JavaRow5 The outside TV is on a swing arm, and permanently placed. It looked like Matt checked behind it, probably to see the arm. There isn't an opening in the RV, not even as you walk in. I'm just not seeing it I guess. Matt or Andrea needs to show us these things!
