Why no Grand Touring Series for shorter floor plans?
Question for B Clemens.
Why no offering of the streamlined, Grand Touring Series (GTS) for the shorter, simpler floor plans?

We are 2 adults and a dog, with no need or desire for the over cab bed and it's resulting propensity for leaks, and degradation to aerodynamics.

Seems that in the Class C world these days, there are very few offerings anymore without the overcab box.

We would love to see the Forester 2301 offered as a GTS.

Working on shorter GTS floor plan now. 24-25' single slide. And no I am not at liberty to show a floor plan quite yet.

PS. double sinks are nice, but counter space in a small unit is a priority. Double sink doesn't always fit so nicely either.

Brian, that is fantastic news! Any preliminary idea on when it would "go live?"

Thanks!

Nope. Chevy's fuel tank is in the way for us to do heated/enclosed tanks. So at this time we won't spend any engineering time to figure that out. In addition it would require all new cap work. (Fiberglass cap). Plus with them slowing down their production so they can build more Colorado's...well, I have little faith in them going forward.

My counter space is less in a 2450S and I have a double sink. A full sink would fit. This is all I could find wrong with the 2800. Everything else is there. Will not do without double sink too hard to do dishes. Can even make the rinse side smaller if needed.

Can I squeeze a little more info out of you?
Will it have a full wall slide like the new MBS "W".
We were looking to pull the trigger on the MBS "W" later in the year (if the real thing looks as good as the photos and plans) but I would prefer an American gasser chassis and don;t really need the overhead bed.
If the design is similar and the price is right, may change my mind.

That's the way we're leaning. Proto won't go online until March 25th.
