Soon to be new RVer
Hi,
My name is Chris and my wife and I are looking into buying our first RV. As of right now the Forester 3011ds is our coach of choice. I am sure I will have questions over the next few months, even dumb ones. Please bear with me as this is a new venture for us. Any and all information is helpful in the search for our first RV and rediscovering the great outdoors. Thank you.

Welcome from Georgia! We own a 2016 3011ds and love it. We took a 3 week round trip from Ga to California and back. Handled well -even with 6 adults onboard.

Hi Chris. We recently made the jump to a mh also. Got a 2016 Forester 3051 s. Haven't had it out yet and it's killing us but we love the layout. Trying to figure out what to pull behind it now!

As a new RV er , you dont know what you dont know.
Why not start with a nice USED RV in the $5k to even $10K range ?
What you learn about yourselves , what camping you prefer , how you use it will cost less, even if you scrap the unit than the markdown on a new unit after one drive around the block from the showroom.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
