2021 Forest River Sunseeker - American

Sean was responsive upon inquiry. We had a few issues/questions and he responded quickly when contacted. The unit we rented was the 2021 Forest River Sunseeker and while it looked good in the photos on the site, it was beat up and needed a lot of TLC. When we inquired about this unit, we asked whether there were any issues with the unit. Sean's response was "Nope no issues!". I would think that the broken running board on the passenger side, the missing running board on the driver's side, the wobbly dinette table (held together with tape), the missing panel on the slide out, the refrigerator door swinging open when driving, and the rotting laminate flooring in the bathroom - just to name a few, would be identified as issues. All explained below. Sean did disclose that "the awning got hit yesterday by another renter I can, however provide you with an EZ Up". That was fine with us - we ended up leaving his EZ Up home since it was beat up and really small - we took our own. When we picked up the unit, it was clear that the awning had been damaged more than days before as he said in his message. Upon entering the unit, there was an overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke (even though the description said no smoking) and several air fresheners were visible in the unit. The dinette benches were held together with black tape that was wearing off and barely sticking. The bench cushions would not stay on the benches as the velcro was torn and separated from the fabric. The paneling on the base of the benches was held together with worn tape and when you sat on the bench - it would catch and scrape the back side of your leg (we put a staple in it before we left). The table was wobbly and moved up/down about 2 inches if you put any weight on it - making it difficult to eat or play cards on - several drinks were spilled - no matter what we did, it was not sturdy. Before we left on our trip we wiped the entire unit down to try and get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke. There was a piece of paneling missing to cover the underside of the slide out bed. The metal strip on the entrance of the unit was loose and a tripping hazard - it was being held down with 1 screw - 3 were missing, we ended up putting the 3 missing screws in. The baseboard in the kitchen area was also loose and needs repair. The closet was also missing several pieces of wood/molding on the shelfs to cover the rough wood that would catch the material of our clothing. We picked up the unit the day before our trip so we'd have adequate time to pack and leave early the next morning. When we re-reviewed the photos, it was obvious that they were taken when the unit was new.

Sean was easy to work with and provided us with a clean, and fully functional RV. Great way to go if you’re trying to avoid the big RV rental companies. Will use again!
