New Forester from Lawrenceville,GA

Picking up our new 3011dsf Wednesday morning! My wife and I have been camping with a great group of friends in our 17 ft hybrid TT the past 18 mos and loved it! We enjoyed our TT, but it is time to step it up. We plan on a cross-country trip to California in a few months.

Welcome from a fellow 3011 owner. I am sure you will enjoy it as we do. Hope you like your pull down roller shades as we were the first ones to order them. They are much better than the string flimsy day/night shades.

I agree about the shades. Definitely a step up. Now to order a privacy "wrap" for the cab windows

Picked up the 3011ds this morning. Good, detailed walk through. Fortunately, our dealer has an indoor showroom so we were doing the inspection inside while it sleeted outside. Loving it so far!Click image for larger version

New Forester from Lawrenceville,GA

Thanks. It's a '16. We were seriously considering Jayco Greyhawk ,then we found the Forester and we both fell in love with the look and the amenities. It fits all of our needs

I thought it was a 16 since it has the large outdoor speakers. Is the color name listed on your msrp window sticker.

It's "Clay " full body paint. The other option was "Indigo" but we never saw what it looked like. No matter, we liked this.

Sweet...congrats! Consider the inside custom foil windsheild covers, they stop the heat, stay clean, and retain the cab space over curtains.

GL1800Rider do you have the Jensen in-dash GPS? I had planned on getting a Garmin or Roadmate unit designed for RV height/ weight road restrictions, but I see that the Jensen has a "truck" setting. Haven't had the chance to use it yet
