This double slide Forester 2861DS from Forest River features a spacious private rear bedroom. Inside the bedroom, the slide out features a queen bed with nightstands to set your electronics or water and across from it is two wardrobes with linen storage between them for storing all of your things. There is also a 12V TV to watch movies at night before bed. The split bathroom has the 24" x 32" shower opposite of the rest of the bathroom so you can use both at the same time. The sofa and dinette both have seatbelts for keeping your guests safe while you travel, and both of them fold down into a sleeping space at night if needed. There is also an outside kitchen for you to enjoy breakfast outdoors!
Tasteful design, a unique combination of style, and Certified Green by TRA certification is what you will find in every one of these Forest River Forester Class C gas motorhomes! The split level design gives you maximum headroom and also still provides a pass-through storage area for your traveling needs. The crowned, laminated fiberglass roof and slide out awning toppers will keep you protected rain or shine. The large panoramic windows have black-out roller shades to let in the natural lighting during the day and aid in privacy at night, and the two large storage drawers in the dinette are perfect for storing a blanket and games. You can even choose to add the optional solar powered 12V charging system so you can head to your favorite off-grid locations too!
We just picked up our new Columbus on Tuesday and absolutely everyone we worked with provided commendable service and assistance. At the risk of missing anyone, several service and parts guys that I don’t even know the names of all did a great job. Even today when I called but could not get through to you the person who answered the phone, I believe Christy?, asked, “is everything alright, I know - Beckie
