Forester 2031RP and Sunseeker 2030RP?
Question for the Sunseeker / Forester team. I see a Dodge ProMaster based unit shown on the 2024 Brochures but with no additional info is listed. What's the story with the 203XRP PM Series?

I like it. The floorplan is similar to our REV which we love and I hope it's on the RAM Promaster.
The rear doors are the one thing I always wanted. It makes it easier to store bikes, allow handicapped access with ramps or just open the doors to watch the sunrise/sunset from the bed.
Can't wait to see the finished rig. Might end up rig shopping.

If they had of had a prototype at the Florida RV Supershow in Tampa (which ends today) they could’ve gotten some real world feedback.
Too late now.

About three months have passed since post #4’s “just finishing up the first unit.” The delay in any further announcements might mean it didn’t go well. Given the RV industry’s poor quality track record, I wouldn’t want to buy the first ones off the line anyway. Maybe wait a year; check back in 2025.

I'd have hoped it would have been displayed at Tampa. Maybe they'll have it at the Atlanta RV Show this coming weekend...not!

I was surprised to even see a ProMaster chassis being offered. I recall Dynamax had a ProMaster offering and it wasn't very popular.
Looking at the Brand "T" ProMaster comparable offerings I don't see a lot of hope for the success of one here. They just don't feel right...and the motor they use isn't one of Fiatsyler's best offerings.

We are still working on this project. the Dodge ram has limited UVW specs from dodge even though their GVWR gives us plenty of room to build on this chassis. We are in the process of getting the Chassis rerated, increasing the UVW after we build the RV. hope to have this to Market by late spring early summer.

I see these are back on the FR website now. Unfortunately everything about them is TBD. Any updates from our FR members?

We have a unit on-line that is scheduled to be off today. This unit will be displayed at our Fall Expo for our Dealer partners later this month and orders from Dealers can be placed at that time. Units will be arriving on Dealers' lots before the end of the year.

There must’ve been some significant build problems given the release date since first mentioned.
Today’s announcement makes it certain they’ll miss the debut at Hershey this week.
Maybe in time for the Tampa 2025 show?

It wasn't a significant build problem. As mentioned in an earlier post, the chassis had to be sent out for testing so the UVW could be recertified.
