We own a 2014 FR3 30'DS and are new the motorhome world (3rd owner @ 20,000 miles). We moved up from a 32' FR Surveyor TT and LOVED it.
We had a hard time figuring out the dinette-to-bed and realized thru this forum that we are missing a cushion for the table top. I have a few ideas for the cushion replacement-something that I can do myself. I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this when buying used and what their remedy was? I'm open to ideas and suggestions. Does anyone else feel like the dinette shape feels almost square? Maybe its an optical illusion and maybe it will make sense when I put sheets/blankets on. Still thankful for the sleeping space.
One last question...what does it mean when the FR3 is referred to as a crossover? I understand what a crossover is referring to a car but can anyone explain it regarding a motorhome?

Thanks so much...thankful for this forum!
The dinette-to-bed is too short for an adult. We leave the cushion at home.
I believe they call it a "crossover" because of the overhead bunk that was usually found on a class "c" motorhome. I think Forest River was the first to add the overhead bunk to a class A, now I see a lot more of them. We love it. When we don't have the grandkids with us, we use it for storage. Also, We keep our third dinette cushion in the bedroom and use it on the backboard of the bed.
My understanding is that Forest River feels (I agree) that the FR3 has the drivability, ease of handling, and features of the Class 3 but has the living experience of a Class A without the price and full-size bus drawbacks.
I am just entering the market and have been reading a lot.
Many times, your local RV dealership will have entire sets of cushions that they will sell cheap. They usually keep take outs from units that require changes on delivery.
