We are new owners of a used 2019 Forester 2401WS MBS. Glad to have this welcome opportunity and to have a forum to exchange questions and answers. There are many new issues we face with this newer unit, and they really test us. I hope we can ask our weird questions about all this technology...

Having trouble getting water into our fresh tank…keeps shooting back out no matter how slow I run the water. Any suggestions?

Hello, I’m looking to get a 2018 Forest River Forester 2431GTS. Does anyone have experience driving this or similar sized unit? I’m most concerned about sway and getting push around by 18 wheelers, crosswinds, etc Thinking of getting a sway bar right away Thanks in advance for any and all...

We are thinking of getting a toad for our 2018 2401W Forester. I want an automatic and we were thinking hatchback. Hoping to get recommendations of cars that worked well. Dolly or flat tow? Thank you Robin

Hello Fellow Forester owners, We bought a brand new 2251SLE and wanted to turn on the oven. The gas indicator shows it has an almost full gas tank. Is there a master switch or anything else that we need to turn on? We need some education here. Please help. BTW: I know this would be asked, so...

Second post of the day! We just got back from a wonderful 10 day family road trip. The passenger slide on my 3251 forester bottom corner screws are backing out and the bracket is coming away from the wall. I have tightened these same screws before and they are backing out. I found a forum here...

Good morning, I have a stabilizer bracket on the rear that keeps rolling/bending inwards towards the centerline of the RV when leveling. I reached out to FR to inquire and Chris in the tech support department asking about it. He said a stiffener bar(s) can be added bracket to bracket to prevent...

Hi friends, The slide on my 2018 Forester 3271 is jamming up. It closes fine but when I open it the first few inches it jams up on what appears to be some sort of a track or guide almost in he middle of the slide under the counter in front of the sink. I can see it jam from underneath looking...

OK, I am taking the plunge.. and have put a deposit on a Forester MBS 2401B Should take delivery in the next week sometime.. Was going to wait.. but.. a friends father died recently - and it reminded me of my mother passing just as she was retiring 15+ years ago.. and I decided.. why wait...

Brand new unit . I am new to the motorhome . The problem I have is the front passenger leveling jack lowers on its own. I have taken the rv in for service, the need to fill out warranty first. The pressure from the jack have ripped my ratchet straps. Any thing I can do.

I pulled down the 3" LED light next to fridge to change out, due to flickering. All lighting worked fine at the beginning. When pulling it down and re-connecting the wires (until I get a new light) I think I may have crossed wires (white to red-2 sets of wires). Now the Kitchen and Living...

The Step on my '07 Forester stopped working while on a recent trip, when getting home, I too9k it to a shop for some chassis work, apparently, while there, they hit something with the step out, now it appears that I'll need to replace the entire step assembly, the pamphlet for the step says it's...

Saw one in person finally today, and am strongly considering it for purchase (recently sold my 5th wheel - it was too big, and trying to find a slot in California to park it was impossible). So.. the quick questions. 1) Where is the power by the queen bed? I have a CPAP, and the storage by...

I noticed water seeping out of the fresh water holding tank fill port. I knew the tank was emptied two days before. I have not moved any valves or performed any maintenance on any part of the water system. I emptied the fresh water tank this morning, and by this afternoon when I checked it, the...

Recently lost some icons on One Control after a 10 mile rough ride on interstate 30 west of little rock. Determined it was lost communication but couldn't find the panel with all the connections. Called LCI and they said it should be in an outside dry storage bay. Nope. Found it under the...

Hello Everyone! After ordering in February, we tried patiently to wait, but the wait is finally over. We drove out to RV Wholesalers in Ohio this past Saturday and picked up our new Motorhome!!! My wife has decided that her name will be C-Renity. We are in the process of packing it up and...

Has anyone upgraded the wimpy shower head and control knobs? We have two issues with the OEM shower setup. The head barely releases water, even with the flow stop open and after attempting to open the head end, and the hot water knob works in a reverse direction from the standard. I drew...

The tires on our new 2021 FR Forester are dated 2012. Can anyone help me understand how or why this can happen and is it acceptable?

While looking around on the FR website I found an area I hadn't seen before. The Model and Floor Plan Specific Information section provides additional information to help you maintain your unit. It provides Winterization and Dewinterization instructions by motor home series. It also provides...

Need help. There’s NO access panel on this unit from behind. I took the knobs off and pulled the two small cartridges out reinstalled them still water coming out shower head. How do I fix this? Please.

I have a 2021 Forester (MB Sprinter Chassis) 2401B with an Atwood AC w/heatpump. From what I have found I should be able to default to the propane furnace by pressing the "Furnace" button on the thermostat, but that button does nothing. I had it in to the dealer for this problem and they have...

I bought this unit used last year, I have the two batteries under the step and every time I check them (monthly) they need water. One battery seems worse than the other. Today I was doing my monthly routine - running the generator, check engine fluids, etc. I had everything off - shore power...
