New member: Made an offer on a 2018 8311WS

Hello everybody we are new members of this forum DW, 2 boys and me.
Even though this will be our third camper we are new to a Forest River product. When we were shopping for our second camper (a toy hauler), I was not very impressed with the quality of the units that I saw six years ago.
However this time around we fell in love with a 2018 Rockwood 8311WS.
Other than a perfect floorplan for our needs the quality of this unit seems to be way superior than any other products that we saw in the 3 stores that we visited.
Floor plan, quality, beauty of the unit, self leveling system, 2 ducted AC units, new side steps, front windshield, very nice quality material and finishing of the cabinetry, etc,etc
Is there anything I'm missing?
Anyone with a similar unit?
I know all the units even from the same model have issues big or small... but what has been your experience with a 8311 WS???

Thanks and happy camping !!!

Roockiewood !

Well welcome Rookiewood!! My husband and I are on our third FOREST RIVER product, I tell you what, we LOVE Forest River!! They have been so good to us when we needed their help. I personally feel that their products are made awsome!! Sturdy, very spacious and many cabinet space. We have a ROCKWOOD SIGNATURE LITE 88289 WS it's a fifth wheel. Our last two where Travel Trailers. I hope you have many many memories and fun with your new unit!!
