3011 DS consideration

[LARMICAT]

We are moving out of our FR Cedar Creek Hathaway 41' and considering a class C. We really like the layout of the 3011DS but have also looked at the Coachmen Leprechaun of about the same size. Both an FR product. Any thoughts on quality comparison or experience with either?

The biggest difference between the 3011DS and a similar Leprechaun is the latter has a TPO rubber roof and the former is fiberglass. Both work, just a matter of preference. I can tell you with the fiberglass I get no black streaks.

There may be other differences. Forester has cedar lined closets, Progressive Converter instead of a Chinese built WFCO, Atwood water gas/electric water heater that has the elec. switch inside the coach and no anode rod to change, 12 cu ft 4 door fridge available ( some Leprechauns have a residential ).

Thank you! That's great information and very good to know.

Any thoughts on the 3051 or 3011?

Compared to the 3011 the 3051 has a longer bed and a larger bathroom. The 3011 has more kitchen counter space and, in my opinion, a better TV veiwing angle and also a choice of theater seating or a pull out couch instead of a jack knife.
