Well, after 3 trips over a period of 20 days in the camper here are my initial impressions: I would encourage all feedback:
1. Generally with a weight distribution hitch the unit tows well, anyone with a vehicle rated 6k and above should have no problem. The dual brakes on each axle stop well and provide good control.
2. Build quality: its not bad, a few wall paper crinkles where the cabinets meet the silicone at the edges. A few screws backed out but coating them with gorilla glue and re-installing them fixed this.
3. Sleeper sofa, when you deploy the sleeper sofa you are faced with 2 different heights making it uncomfortable to sleep on. Forest river needs to make the sofa one height when deployed as a bed.
4. More on the sleeper sofa, there is no way to walk around the the queen bed because of the bolsters attached to the sofa. If they would have shortened them a few inches this would have solved that and it would not have distracted from the sofa or affected its use in any way.
5. Dometic 300 toilet, wow, its a plastic piece of what goes down it. I don't even want to comment on this! Do a google search, nothing more to be said.
5. Gray water and black water tank, these were made smaller for 2017 and the fresh water tank increased in size. Personally they should have left them alone. Unless you are constantly hooked up you will quickly run out of grey and black water capacity.
6. Dometic air conditioner, rated at 13500 btu. Forest river should have opted for the 15k version. When you have temperature at 100 plus outside its barely keeps up providing 80 degrees inside.
7. Front window, Forest River should have used one way tint or be the same as the other windows in the travel trailer. For the most part it remained closed for most of our trips.
8. Floor, even with all 4 leveling jacks deployed, x chocks installed and tongue supported you can feel anyone walking inside the unit. Not exactly sure why this happens other then to speculate the floor doesn't have enough support. Perhaps this is what you get when you buy a "Micro or mini light".
9. Garment cabinets, these are located to the left and right side of the bed. They are to short and crinkle clothes placed in them. Forest River should have extended them about 3 inches down into the night stand area and they would have nailed it.
10. Crank vent above bed, useless, should have been a power vent and used a fantastic vent in the bathroom as well! I am sure this will be addressed in the future.
11. More cabinet lights, no light under the left side of the kitchen counter top, I will install one there.
Overall, its a reasonable unit at a decent price. I have dragged this thing well over 2000 miles at this point and plan on the immediate following upgrades:
A. Dump the Dometic 300 toilet for the 320 elongated bowl china unit.
B. Install a second group 34 battery.
C. Sleeper sofa, I plan on removing it and making some general modifications, first removing the drink bolsters, cutting them down and reinstalling them, this will allow full movement around the queen bed.
D. Tint the front window with a one way tint to match the other windows.
E. I plan on removing the bottom of the garment cabinets, this will allow the clothes to extend down without getting wrinkled.
F. On the left side of the kitchen counter is a fold up shelf, I plan on ordering another and adding it to the opposite side.
G: Jacks, this one is up for discussion, considering removing the original jacks and installing them front and rear on the tires then installing some better units where the original units were installed. This should resolve frame flexing.
H. Compartments, a couple of twist type non keyed types as used in the slide out would be useful. Sometimes you really don't want to lock the compartments but you don't want water (and other things) to get in.
Honestly, overall I am pleased with this unit. I think anyone wanting a small lightweight reasonably priced travel trailer would be satisfied with this unit.
As time goes by I am sure I will continue to make this unit more to my liking. But after all, isn't this what this past time is all about?
Happy Camping!

It seems I could never just let go and enjoy the moment thinking about the drive home and what might go wrong next. 
Driving more then a few hundred miles would absolutely wear me out. Plus my wife absolutely refused to drive it. Last time out we almost got creamed by a tractor trailer who wanted both lanes. At least it only cost me a mirror. Ouch! Could have been much worse, but it sealed the deal, the bus had to go.
