New Guy from Central Florida, USA

2020 Forest River Forester MBS 2401W. We just traded in our 2015 Winnebago ERA 170B for it. The Forester has some things we really needed that the other didn't (more beds, bigger holding tanks, etc.). When we bought the ERA, it was great but now we have grandkids we want to bring too. We are a retired couple in Central Florida and use our camper a lot. We travel with our Chihuahuas and pull a 2019 bright orange 2 door Jeep Wrangler behind us. I haven't got a picture of our new one yet but this is what we traded in. Hope this link works.

Congrats on the upgrade.
Keep an eye on your Cargo Carrying Capacity with your rig on the MBS Chassis. Just sayin’.

Thanks Ken/Terry. The cargo was the biggest discussion my wife and I had before buying. Our Jeep is below the recommended max. The rig rating is pretty low for gear but we liked the mileage of our last Sprinter which is the same chassis we have here. The Forrester is heavier but we travel pretty light anyway. Thanks for mentioning as it could be a real problem for some.

A fellow FROG and friend I worked with for about 30 years has a Coachmen Mirada that matches his orange Jeep. He saw it sold at a show and was told it was a one and only. A few calls to Coachmen and they built him one.

Welcome. I didn't know you could tow that much with that chassis. Sounds like a nice combo. I'd love to have a Jeep for a toad.
Enjoy and Happy Camping.
