Exterior of the Sunseeker MBS would be the same color options as the Sunseeker.
Bordeaux or Platinum for 2014 & 2015.
Solera was Cappuccino and Garnet.

Wife & I have now done 3 long weekends in the Solerseekera only covering about 2200 miles so far. I must say that everything has been absolutely great. We've used both A/C and furnace, all appliances, genny, water pump...you name it, and can only mention 2 minor cosmetic issues we identified to the dealer and will address when it's convenient for us (chipped mirror in living area and one of the reading light fixtures in bedroom is wonky). I expect we're as happy as everyone else with the Sprinter 3500. I've managed 14.7 MPG so far. Supremely happy with our purchase and our camping and non-camping friends are duly impressed with the coach as well.

When do we see the upgrades or floorplans on Forester MBS? I'm on market looking to buy next year.

Our Solera 24R comes out of the factory Nov 7th. Hope this isn't the last one. Wonder if we should have waited for a Sunseeker Model.

No, we're still building Solera. We're just transitioning the names over. We haven't figured out what to do with dealers that were Solera only...so it will likely be running for another year.

With these upgrades on Forester MBS, what's the difference in MSRP between Forester MBS and Solera of standard models?
Another question, when is 2016 model coming out next year?

The Forester MBS MSRP is about $2000 higher depending on how it is equipped.
2016's won't be out until June of next year.

I think you are referring to the weather shield that is part of an A&E awning. If so, there is about a 2 foot section at the start of the awning (rv end) that rolls up around the entire awning when fully retracted to provide weather protection for the awning itself.

It's a regular old awning where the first 10 or 12" is banded metal. So when the awning is closed there is a metal cover protecting it.
Also called a metal weather shield. Think Armadillo.

BC, do you know if the metal shields can be added to awnings that don't currently have them?

Not that I am aware of. We ordered some in wrong WITH metal and they talked about removing the metal. It can be done, but it was a pain.
