I would like to change out the driver and passenger chairs in our motor home, however, I am learning that that is easier said than done... I found a chair manufacturer in this forum and believe I have the right chairs chosen, but how do I MAKE SURE that the chairs will fit our RV? Its a bit...

The brochures I have seen state the Classic version of the Forester and Sunseeker have valve stem extensions without any specific description. What type are used by the factory and are they usable? Specifically the inner wheels of the rear dually configuration. I don't have an example anywhere...

Hey all, We're a few months into a new Forester 3011DS and absolutely loving it. After getting the basics down with a few shakedown trips we realize we need a toad vehicle. I'm trying to wrap my head around all these terms/weights etc. Ideally we'd like to flat tow. We're thinking of...

I have just purchased the 2021 Forester 3011DS, and I have a question about the leveling jacks. I noticed that when the jacks are retracted they only are about four inches off the ground. Has anyone with this model ever had trouble going up steep drive ways or over speed bumps? They seem way too...

I'll make this post here also to get FR owner's comments and perspectives. In my C search and research there are certain ones that pique our interest. On the E-450 chassis the FR Sunseeker/Forester Classic 3010DS and an Entegra Esteem 29V. As stated both on the E-450 chassis and nearly identical...

Had my first on the road blowout on Rt 77 Columbia SC. Luckily right before an exit and limped into a Walmart parking lot. Sitting here waiting on Coach-net roadside assistance. This is a 2015 3171ds. Is it time to replace all the tires? 26,000 miles. Tire pressures were all good this...

Tomorrow I take my 3011ds out of her 6 month sleeping spot. Actually she is parked under her rv port next to my garage. I keep her plugged in year round. Run everything once a month and check the water level in the battery regularly. Next friday we head south from CT to Myrtle Beach State Park...

Just curious on the recent changes to the outside trim, missing bumper and front cap on the Foresters/Sunseekers. I saw one the other day and it seems odd looking to me. Is there a reason they trim everything in black? I do like the front cap. I would miss not having the bumper.

We’re on a 2 month long road trip across the US. Luckily it’s not freezing through the southern US where we are, but it’s still cold at night and our Suburban furnace is not starting. We’re hooked up to power now and the Atwood Air Command is working, but we can’t boondock or we’ll freeze...

We are still figuring a few things out on our used 2019 Forester. We have 2x lights like this that I have found, one by the toilet, one in the entry by the steps. Can't figure out how they turn on. They don't seem to be triggered by any light switches or doors. Maybe broken? Any ideas what might...

I currently have original battery in house. Looking to put in a better battery such as an AGM. Can I just replace it or do I need new wiring?

So the driver-side rear storage hatch is big, but not very functional. I wanted to add a shelf somehow to make it easier to use, but didn't want to add too much weight or poke holes in the bin. I noticed the screws holding the upper siding in and realized I could add a shelf there. So, I used...

Our 2021 Forester 2151LE has a 3 position battery disconnect switch: "On", "Off", and "Actuator Out". I understand the first 2, but what does "Actuator Out" position do? Owner's manual is no help - dealer is no help.

I have 2014 Forester 3171DS that came with a RVS rear camera installed. The camera has quit working, and I have started the process to replace it. I was hoping the 5 pin connector from the camera wire was right inside the hole that is drilled in the rear of the coach, but I've pulled the cable...

Hello from Virginia, I am already finding this community helpful and I hope to one day be able to return the favor by sharing something someone finds useful. I'm new to RV life and have been trying to educate myself on all the terms/do's and don'ts with help of resources like this one. Glad to...

We purchased our 2015 new in 2015. I immediately replaced the booth surround with throw cushions. Time to get the original out of the closet. It's yours for the price of shipping. Email me at hmshenryc@gmail.com Photos available...

We just purchased a 2019 2420MS, former rental unit apparently, with preinstalled solar. It's got a zamp zs-30 ad. It appears on this controller that battery 1 is set to AGM and battery 2 is set to wet. While I could probably sort this out with some disassembly, I'm hoping someone can tell me...
