if only i would have known

I did order seeker back in march (still not in production) to find out that the forester with the same floor plan offer much more!

I did get all options on the sunseeker but i wish I had ordered the forester

It would be nice if I could change My order without affecting the delivery date. After all it's the save rv but more luxurious

Depending on how you optioned the Sunseeker, there aren't a ton of differences. The Forester has skirt paint, but if you got full body paint there is no difference. The Forester gets fiberglass running boards, but again with full body paint the Sunseeker gets that too.

In the end,it comes down to (3) differences. Forester has recessed lighting, Soft Vinyl ceilings & leather sofa.

It would be nice if I could uplift my order to incorporate the

How about the Patio light ? it's in the Forester Data sheet but not in the Sunseeker!!

Security light is a wall light located on the "off camp" or driver side towards the back. Lights up the utility side...kind of like a back door light so no one comes sneaking up to peak in your windows.

Only 4 days before my unit hits the production line! I hope there will be no delay!

First mod will be to replace my mirrors with Velvac 716632 with built in camera!

Still have regrets??

We are getting ready to place an order, and struggling with the decision between Sunseeker and Forester. Looks like the Forester 3171 will be about $1700 more than the Sunseeker 3170 - for partial body paint, fiberglass running boards, padded ceiling and recessed interior lighting, and a security light on the driver's side. Any other differences?? Sales guy advises to just go with Sunseeker - he doesn't think the differences are worth $1700. No local dealers to compare in person, so hoping for some thoughts from people who have looked at both. Wondering if the OP still regrets the Sunseeker decision! Thanks!
