2017 vs 2016 my

sebcom · 07-01-2016, 12:39 AM

Hi,
Does anybody knows what improvements or new features were added in model year 2017 ?
I've sent an email to Forest River, but no answer ...
Thanks

Have you tried Googling 2017 FR 3? I found a lot of information.

Yes I tried, but didn't find any difference with 2016 MY.

We picked up are 2017 fr3 30ds and we didn't see anything different then the 2016 we saw at the rv show this past winter

There's a vent on the generator compartment and the Pioneer system pre-set for Sirius, Spotify, duap blue-tooth, Pandora and others from what I can tell so far on the 2017.

second gen for 2016 has gen cover. no more vapor locking hopefully. In fact Eastonfloyd, eveything you mentioned is on second gen for 2016.

It seems FR monitors this forum, or at least reacts to feedback. I was shopping for a 30DS since fall, and I noticed several improvements to the very same systems I was noting as issues on this forum. The A/C is now 18,000 BTU, Blistein shocks, added 110 outlets, to name a few.

Thanks for your answers. And too bad FR didn't respond to my email ... not a good start.

You sent an email to FR?
... or to the FR3 division?
... or to FR3 Sales?
... or to ??

FR is a pretty big company. I've had better luck sending emails to the lowest level entity responsible for my question/concern.

EastonFloyd, correct. Now we have to truly distinguish the difference between 2017 versus late 2016 (sec gen) platform for those looking to buy. Again, the late 16 also has 18,000 btu. I ran that in high humidity, 95 degree heat 3 weeks ago and it performed very well. I did supplement the AC with reflectix in front and back windows along with camco vent pillows however.

to date i see no difference in late 16 and 17.
