Forest River (Mixed tier): Vacuum-bonded gel-coated laminated sidewalls and a one-piece fiberglass roof on a Ford F53 are respectable for a gas Class A, but Georgetown's delivery-defect and service record is ordinary Forest River volume-brand territory.

FINDING ONE

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; 10-year production run; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Loft-bunk gas Class A that has quietly gotten better - the 22,000 lb GVWR and the 7.3L V8 since 2021 fixed an earlier chassis that was working hard.
