As we have found out the 2021 model Georgetowns/GT model have a bit of a change to the dash and other things.

Would appreciate is any new owners of 2021's would post pictures of their intererior and exterior parts to show us all.
Thanks in advance.

My DW wants a new one but I told her we are saving money by using my old 2012.
It became very quiet at home for a few days after I told her that.

You must have more photos than that.....albeit that looks fantastic.
How about some close ups......inside and out.

I’ll take more. I can share this one of one of our three wieners. Bucky decided to hang out on the dash while visiting family.

You do know she is going to ask you how much you're saving and how long it will take to get closer to a new one, right? And if "not enough" and "a lot longer" are your answer you two might be having a "discussion" on what other toy purchases of yours can get cut.

My wife wants one also but at 155,000 for the V8 and 149,900 for the Old reliable V10 and 6 speed transmission! I would like to get a new one also! I love the front and they say the new Godzilla V8 has a lot more power. But having a 2017 it is hard to spend another 50,000 for basically the same vehicle although I do have 28,000 miles on it now. I think I will wait to see how those V8’s work out for a year and see what if any issues they have.

If you want any pictures go to the Forest River Website Forestriver.com and go to Georgetown. We have plenty of pictures there but in the meantime here is a quick link to help. Hopefully this works

Are those actually 2021 pics? Usually your web site is about a year behind in the interior pics. When we bought our 2020 the pics were from 2019. We knew what the differences were so we could tell.

Actually I want to see the new Ford dash instrument cluster and steering wheel control.
Any other front dash pictures would be great also especiallthe the new seats and dash desk on passenger side. I also like the doggie window also on the passengers side.

Look at the instrument cluster.
That is the old Ford dash with a new headlight switch only.
I found a picture of the new Ford Dash cluster.
I think this is with the new V8 engine.

I can tell you the money invested on the 2021 was not in the front end of the rig. The desk is rudimentary to say the least. It is very much "trucker style" other than the comfortable seats, which I love. We also liked that there isn't any carpet at all. I may run down and take some pics. My three dogs found that doggie window right away and since two are too fat to get up on the dash, they watch out the window while the boy sits up on the dash when parked. There are no wall pockets at all on either side so for a lady, there's no place to put your purse, phone, iPad or anything unless up overhead or in a cup holder. I can lay the phone on the desk area, but there's no room for anything else. I need my stuff! There is one fold out cup holder on the wall and it's good for any size but the cup holder in the desk or on the doghouse are too shallow to hold a taller coffee cup or water bottle without falling over. We both said it look like FR put all the money into it starting from the back of the front seats and forgot they had to make the cab nice, too. Pics to come later!

I see FR (and maybe all F53's) went with the 3.2" main instrument panel display and not the 8". Not that the 8" is better but perhaps more economically feasible I guess.

Here's one out of Texas with the lights off that looks similar on a GT5 with the new Ford engine.

Yeah, the 2020 one is pretty much useless as well. On the left side of the top on ours there is a rectangular depression that is good for holding a cell phone but would be better if it had a wireless charging pad in it. The 12 volts is already there for the USB and power outlets. If you plug a cord into the phone to charge it, you have to lay the phone on an angle so the cord is not putting pressure on the phone's charging port.

The cup holder in the far right corner of the desk also is useless because a cup almost completely blocks the passenger side mirror from the driver.

There are no wall pockets at all on either side so for a lady, there's no place to put your purse, phone, iPad or anything unless up overhead or in a cup holder.

That's still a lack. <sigh> The 2020 has some rudimentary one on the driver's side that is only good for an umbrella because it's too deep for anything else and too narrow for a map book. How expensive could it be to screw a pocket-type holder to the wall and/or have them on the back of the driver and passenger seats like in a car?

There is one fold out cup holder on the wall and it's good for any size but the cup holder in the desk or on the doghouse are too shallow to hold a taller coffee cup or water bottle without falling over.

And the ones in the doghouse and on the driver's side are too narrow to hold a regular-sized travel mug.

You sometimes wonder how these little misses keep getting carried over from year to year. It's almost like the decision-makers have never been forced to take the motorhome out for a week and actually drive and live in them.

If a company is going to install odd-sized cup holders, they could at least include the odd-sized cups that fit them.

We love the power recliners but their cup holders have the same problem. So we stash the remotes in them but they're not deep enough to reliably hold the TV remotes.

Thanks. I looked at the 34H5 on that site and the only interior difference I saw from the 2020 was a Magic Chef microwave. The pics you posted showed a new shower head assembly with what looks like a grab bar, which would be nice to have, plus a MaxxAir fan, which they started adding in some 2020.5 models.

Interestingly, there may be one other difference. We had a missing light over one shelf and the factory added it. I had previously posted that Forest River was installing 4,000 Kelvin cold, glaring white ceiling lights instead of the usual 3,000 Kelvin yellowish ones.

The new light over the shelf definitely is 3,000 degrees. Holding a piece of printer paper under the new light and under the one over the sink shows the difference.

Some of the ceiling lights in the the pics seemed to be yellowish while others were the cold white. Look in the main living area and compare the lights in front of the recliners with the others. They are on different switches.

...and LOL... my wife likes the daylight bulbs better so it was a win for us but an adjustable bar for the showerhead would be nice (That's a 34M5 though).

I have no problem sticking with the V-10, although I will say that if the new engine is any bit as good as the twin 6 in my wife's Expedition it'll be a winner but I think I'll keep this one for a bit...

I do like the GT5 34M5 model layout.
Still looking for one. Mayhave to wait a year to find one with the V8 and my color scheme.

Well, here are some pics inside. We’re already closed up ready to go.
