I want to know more about and see pics of the 3 full pass through storage compartments. That is the most surprising thing mentioned for me.
Also, is a theater type lounge sofa where both seats recline an option in place of the dinettes? I need a place to sit back and relax more than I need a dinette just for myself.

Here's one of the pass throughs. This is the compartment right behind the door I think.
Recliners should be avalaible just as they are in the 24FW sprinter.

25FW getting closer
It looks like this model is very similar to the Forest River GTS 2431S, kind of like the upgrade to the upgrade. It's about 2 ft longer then the 2431S, space that appears to have gone to the wardrobe closet and bathroom? I can't find a list of options for the 2431S, and the dealers only want to sell what they have, so getting one with specific options is not easy. Maybe it will be easier with the 25FW, but at a higher price. Ford is doing the MorRyde suspension upgrade, and from what I've read the reports are good. Maybe the best option for suspension upgrade. Some higher end RV's are producing as standard OEM. I also am concerned with the noise level inside the cockpit of the E450. Another aftermarket money pit. Anxious to see specifics on the 25FW like awning brand, fridge, mattress, electronics, etc., but looks good so far.

The 25FW is 3 feet longer than the Isata 3 and has a GVWR of 14,500 vs 11,030. I believe you stated the floor plan was the same as the Isata 3 FW, so assume the extra 3 feet is due to the chassis design on the Ford vs the more compact Sprinter? How much of the extra length and GVWR is going to translate into usable CCC? With all the pass through storage space, it's just begging for a couple of sets of golf clubs.
I am following this model and the Isata 5 30FW which is yet another step up in length and GVWR with basically the same floor plan. We love our Isata 3FW for its compactness, but weight is a factor always in your mind.

This floor plan is great but I have one suggestion. You might want to consider making the closet smaller and making a larger u shape dinette or optioning a larger sofa in the dining alcove. With the tv placement up front, more people could watch tv if the closet was shortened and a different option placed in the slide out. As it is currently laid out only two persons can see the tv.
I think people would want more living space and less closet space.

It’s been proven... people need/want storage for the crap they never use.

Brian,
My wife and I are closely watching the progress of the 24FW. We are also very interested in the Forest River GTS 2431S. My biggest concern is with the full wall slide. I didn't have to look far to see all the issues Schwintech (now Lippert) has had with their slide mechanism. Seems to be some finger pointing that manufacturers are overloading the slide mechanism, or owners are not doing maintenance properly. I have a friend with the Forest River 2401 Sprinter full wall slide that has had numerous problems in their 2 years of ownership. Nothing tops off a trip like not being able to retract the slide when it's time to leave!! So my question is: has anything been done to correct this issue, or is there even a plan to correct the problem? I know the issue is widespread in the industry, and some higher end manufacturers are going back to the HWH hydraulic system. Wanted to hear the latest on the situation from Dynamax and Forrest River. Thanks

We don't use the Schwintec. We use the Power Gear Slim rack that solves several of the issues with the Schwintec. Having said that, no slide is full proof...but they do give you several different ways to get our of trouble if there is an issue.

Thanks Brian! I'll pay close attention to those instructions on the walk through. Do you know what type of slide the Forest River GTS is using?
