    2017 Forester 3051SF

    New but not NEW! Been an RV owner for some time and just purchased a new C-Class. In short; the first 26' Trailer caught fire while driving (no one injured), second 26' was great but wanted to get there without having to stop for the wife and kids for bio breaks every 20 minutes, 40' Diesel...

    3051s rear trim seperation

    Anyone else with a 2013 to 2015, 3051s have the rear trim below the tail lights starting to pull away from the wall? I also have noticed what looks like some delamation (?) along the full width of the rear end. Would have included a pic but can't see it in the shot I took.

    3051S Fantastic Vent won't open!

    Anybody else had this problem? Is this just a sticky seal or something on the roof? It's been crazy hot around here but it's been working fine in my driveway up until this week. I had it open last weekend no problem but this weekend it starts then stops.

    Bathroom door won't close 3051S

    We have had a new 3051S for about 3 months and twice now after we get set up in an RV site, extend the levelors, and extend the slide...the bathroom door does not catch. Evidently the whole MH is in some kind of a twist. This only seems to happen in sites where our front wheels come off the...

    Hi! Am very new to FR! Loved the product despite some smaller issues until today... Anybody have experience with FR- Sun customer service or the stuck slide out? Yes we have tried manual override - not working. Coachnet wants to remove motors, push in slide so we can move. But we need to...

    2016 Forester 3051S, Dyson Vac fuse location

    Our 2016 Forester 3051S has a Dyson Vac and built in charging stand. Recently the power to the outlet that the charging stand plugs into lost power. I have looked everywhere for a fuse but can not find it. Does anyone know where the fuse is located?

    3051s fresh water drain ??

    Can any of you 3051S owners tell me where the drain is for the fresh water tank? I located two tubes, one red and one blue, on the right side behind the wheels under what I thought was the fresh water tank. The red one had a pipe threaded cap on it, so I figured that was the one. I removed the...

    New 2017 Forester 3051 Owner!

    We are extremely excited to move up from our old travel trailer up to the class C motorhome. We have had it three months and absolutely LOVE it! So far we have been on about six trips both big (Disney, Florida panhandle) and close to home in the Georgia state parks. There are a few concerns I...

    Wood privacy door on 3050s

    Has anyone had any issues with the door that separates the front living area from the bathroom area and back on the 3050s? I thought the little hanger was loose which it is but the entire track has dropped down about an inch towards the pantry. Just wondering how much trouble to repair. Carrying...

    Forester 3051 slide movement.

    We picked up our Forester 3051 in late April. We have been having some issues with the slide which we are trying to work through. My question for all you 3051 owners is on the actual movement of the slide both front to back and in and out. Is the movement smooth and even/steady or is it...

    3050s not cool

    I can't seem to find solutions to our problem. We have a Sunseeker 3050s which, until yesterday, we hadn't driven during the summer. After 200 sizzling miles, with the Ford a/c at full blast, we realized the fatal flaw of summertime motorhome travel: it's too hot. What do you do when you...

    305V14 Front cap panels seperating

    Needing input. Recently I have noticed that the front seams on my 2011 XLR 305V14 are beginning to separate. On one side I actually have had a piece of molding come completely off and another piece, at the top of the "V" is now coming off. When traveling you can see the front panels moving in...

    Wiring problem in new 3051

    Any other Forester owners with wiring problems? Have reservations for Sunday and now don't know if we will be able to go. We thought the neutral wire had come loose in the self contained outlet for the microwave. DH took the outlet apart to fix it. No such luck....The wire is bad. How...

    3051 power draw of appliances?

    Anybody know what the amp draw is of the a/c unit, the dual fridge, the microwave and the water heater? Can't seem to run more than 2 at any given time without tripping the 30 amp at the pedestal. Is this normal or perhaps I have an issue with one of them, particularly the water heater. I know...

    Slide Topper in the Wind Problem in 3051S

    So, we're in Santa Fe, NM for a couple of days and every afternoon around 5 pm big wind storms have been coming in every day. Today's is really strong. I'd estimate 40 mph winds right now. I was at the dog park with our puppy when my wife came over to tell me something bad was happening at the...

    OK...How about Recliners in 3051S?

    OK, now that we've had our 3051S for a few weeks, I'm already sick of the uncomfortable sofa. After several posts and replies from Brian Clemens and Joshua, it became clear that FR had no intention of making recliners available in the 3051S like they have in other models anytime soon. So we...

    3051 entry handle

    Is this handle suppose to light up? Mine is clear in the middle and I noticed a friend had a Bounder with a clear handle that lit up when his porch light was on. Is this an option for the 3051?

    Dimensions of slide in 3051

    Does anyone know the dimensions of the slide for the 3051? I don't know if I have enough space in my parking area to fully extend my slide.

    Forester 3051 Big Foot Levelers questions

    I have used the search feature and just can't find the right answer. We just picked up our 2016 Forester 3051. We have had it two nights. We got the levelers down the first night, had to put some wood under the tires so they didn't come off the ground. Its in our driveway which is pretty...

    Privacy curtain in cab area of Forester 3051

    Can you please tell me what the privacy curtain looks like for the cab area in the 3051? I need to know if we need to buy something for the Windows in the cab area for privacy. What do most people use so the people can not see in through the front door windows or through the windshield. Thanks!

    Picked up our new 3051S Monday at RV Wholesalers in Ohio, after 2 years of planning and multiple changes of mind. Arrived early, so detailing and prep was not done yet. We found several problems...scratches in solid surface kitchen countertop, damage to ultraleather material on sofa back and...

    Surge Protector with 30/50 amp converter

    Hi all, Newbie here :-) Haven't had a chance to have the new 2016 A122s out yet, but we're preparing for that maiden voyage the beginning of next week. The "question of the hour" is about surge protectors. Convinced that we need one, but I had a question about hooking it up in the same chain...
