RE: New Sunseeker 2500

We have a 2011 28 foot unit, happy with it, very good for the price we paid new. If I had a complaint, it would be the trim being vinyl coated covering or something along those lines. Drawer and cabinet door fronts appear to be wood but the trim and frame are this lower cost material. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Brake wear

I have a 2011 Forest River Sunseeker,purchased new, 28 foot with 9600 miles which at least half, if not more, are highway miles. When I parked it for the winter the brakes seemed fine, when I took it out this weekend I noticed the pedal was lower. There appears to be wear on the front rotors. Is this normal for this low a milage. Don't drive very fast 53-55 MPH and don't visit many hilly areas. Fluid is good, no leaks on the concrete slab?:h

RE: Does my 2013 Forester need Dealer's xtra Exterior Coating??

First of all, Good luck and Happy Travels with the new rig! I have to agree with most of the members, these are cash generators for the dealers! Put $25.00 aside per week if you can for a rainy day. This will come in handy when it's time for new tires, shocks, brakes, etc.

RE: Why no 12v plug

Our 2011 Sunseeker Class C has one in the bedroom, one in the living room and one near the cabover where the TV antenna amp is, plus 2 in the cab of the vehicle.

RE: RV Direct

Purchased a 2011 Sunseeker from Rebecca, great price and service. $12,000 less than the local dealers.

Noisy Generator

Question on generator noise; I have an Onan "micro Quiet" 4.0 in my 2011 Class C, I run it twice a month during the winter at 50% load as recommended in the manual. The unit has atound 105 hours, start's up on the second try during the winter, runs a bit rough for about 15-20 seconds and then very smooth for 2 hours or so. When I shut it down, it seems to make a lot of noise and vibration while winding down to a stop. I remove the 1700 watt load and let it idle for about 3-4 minutes before shutting it down. Is this normal?

RE: Big Foot Leveling Systems

I have it on my 28 foot Class C, I believe it has an 18" throw so I carry about 12 short pieces of 2 X 10s, say a foot square to place under the pads which have a way to go to hit the ground,Some KOA sites are not level, state parks, etc. Glad I purchased it!

RE: Winter and New to US RV

I would think driving on snow covered roads with salt treatment may raise hell with items below the chasis, especially electronic connections etc?

RE: my class c has is listing about 2"

I have a similar issue on my 28 foot 2011 sunseeker, passenger side is about 1-2" lower in the front, was always this way, did not notice till I drove it home and parked it on a concrete slab. Does not effect handling and I have a Big Foot leveling system. I did notify Forest River and they made a note in my file. Not sure if somebody left out a spacer? Everything underneath looks OK.

RE: Travel advice

Dave,
I thought there were some low bridges on the GS 10 feet at the right lane? Was thinking of going 84 West to 684 South then 287 W loop to the NJT

Travel advice

What would be the best way to pick up the New Jersey Turnpike from Highway 87 in upstate NY? I will be starting out in CT and will swing a bit west to pick up RT87 South, anything to avoid the GW bridge!

RE: Little white sprin loaded clips for compartment doors

OK, that is what I found as well, did you need to drill new holes for the screws? They do look a lot more robust!

Little white sprin loaded clips for compartment doors

Does anybody know if somebody makes a better quality spring clip to hold the vertical storage compartments in the up position? I have 2 or 3 of these where the little spring has broken and don't secure the dorrs very well, especially on the lrage rear storage compartment door. These are white plastic held on by 2 screws about 1 - 1/2" long or so.

RE: Bad day Camping.

Boy, I was upset when I backed into a small tree on Cape Cod! Now I don't feel so bad. Hope the worst is over for you and never, never go against the Wife! As Rumple of the Bailey ( old English comedy series on CPTV ) used to say " She who is to be Obeyed":)

RE: Slide mechanism

On our Sunseeker 2650 DS, we have a small slide, there is an electric motor under the couch, it is a Lippert above floor system I believe with a manual override below.

screw on air chuck for tires

Having a lot of trouble getting my inside rear tires inflated as the air check seems to not want to interface well with the valve stem, have tried push-on, locking chucks, etc. 2011 Forest River Sunseeker 2650. Just purchased a digital gage with locking chuck from Griots Garage, works very nicely on my truck tires at 35 pounds but does not want to lock on the valve extensions for the rear duallys. Any thoughts on this?:h
