what is the cargo carry capacity for FR3?
what is the cargo carry capacity for FR3 30DS, 32DS, 33DS and 34DS? what are their MSRP?
Could not find these info from FR site. But need to know before deciding the right RV to buy.
FR3 does not have frameless windows. Is there any windows that can be opened during raining day like frameless windows?
If opening window a little for ventilation during night sleep, can intruder open it wider from outside?
Thanks.

I cringe when I say this, but your best source of CCC is going to be a dealer on a particular rig. Each rig's CCC depends on what 'extras' have been installed in the rig.
You can get an idea of the MSRP by using rvtrader.com. That gives you a general idea of prices in your area.
Since demand is outpacing supply at this point, it's going to be challenging. Good luck.

On the 34DS, there’s an electric awning on the passenger side, which would allow you to open the kitchen sink window for ventilation. We’re planning to add additional window awnings so that we can open more windows without worrying about rain or winds that are too strong for the electric awning. We’ve already added vent fan covers on the roof to allow those to be open in almost anything but horizontal rain coming from the rear.
Yes, someone could force their way in thru a window, unless you use a dowel to keep the window from opening further. Since the window locks are very cheap little bits of plastic, you may want to to have dowels for all of your windows, even when they are locked. Our friend’s RV was entered by someone forcing the window (using suction cups?) and snapping the plastic toggle lock.

Can we buy custom length of dowel metal or wood? FR should use hybrid windows (some frameless).

I purchased three reversible Fan-Tastic Fans with vent covers. The Fan-Tastic Fan in the bedroom has a wireless control. I can bring air in with one & exhaust with another, even in the rain.

On sash or slider type windows a dowel rod (wood 3foot in variable diameters available at hardware & home improvement stores) can be used to prevent glass sliding open further than you want. Just cut to length needed to stop window. POSSIBLY old broom stick could be used if diameter pemits.

Agree weight not shown only gross weight. I found on https://www.rvusa.com/rv-guide/specs...fr3-m4823-b203
The payload weight for used models,
30DS was 2530 ilbs.
32DS, 33DS, 34DS were all 1978 lbs.
This inormation should be on label found on each vehicle.NO one model motorhome will weigh the same with different options available. So what I'm saying is do not trust weight numbers found on anyone's spec sheets.
I believe payload weight assume full fuel 6.3 lbs. Per gallon and possibly propane. The number between gross and empty weight would not include fuel.
However water (fresh, black,gray) at 8.3 lbs per gallon, Would be part of the payload weight so 50 gallon of fresh water if you choose to haul it would reduce payload by 8 x 50 = 400ibs.
All this should be spelled out on each chassis capacity label.

The MSRP of the 2021 32DS I bought was $152,471,50
$148,449 was the base price plus $4,022.50 in options.
The cargo carrying capacity of the 32DS is 2975 lbs. I don't know about the others.
