Other floor plans with a similar body style, feature mix, and price range, prioritizing other manufacturers and brands.
The rear bedroom gives everyone their own space, a rarity in Class C layouts this size. While the bunk over cab handles extra sleepers without eating into the living area. What really sets the 2861DS apart is the full outdoor kitchen alongside the outdoor entertainment setup, so camp cooking doesn't mean retreating inside. Ford's E-450 chassis with a 7.3L V8 underpins the whole thing, and Azdel composite wall construction (no wood framing) adds real-world durability and keeps road noise down. Features like a 12V compressor refrigerator, 4KW gas generator, heated enclosed tanks, and Gateway 4G WiFi round out a surprisingly complete package.

The chef will love cooking with this motorhome! They can choose to cook either indoors with the three burner cooktop and flip-up countertop or head to the outside kitchen to breathe in some fresh air while they grill up some juicy burgers on the cooktop. The separated bathroom makes it easy for one to freshen up in the 24" x 36" shower while another uses the private toilet and sink with a medicine cabinet above it. The rear private bedroom has a 60" x 74" queen bed slide with nightstands to set your glass of water and wardrobes on either side of a linen closet with a 12V TV for your entertainment. The booth dinette and sofa also offer comfortable sleeping spaces once converted, as well as the 60" x 80" bunk over cab mat which can be switched out for an optional Trekker cap with a built-in entertainment center!
With any Forester Class C gas motorhome by Forest River, you will enjoy comfort at every turn! They offer a smooth ride with the EZ Ryde premium suspension system, and the ultra-leather captain's seats will ensure comfort wherever you go. There are heated, enclosed holding tanks and valves plus block foam insulation to enjoy four-seasons camping, and the gel coat exterior fiberglass is slick and easy to keep clean. A keyless entry comes standard for your convenience, along with a color back-up camera and side view cameras with a 3-way monitor for added safety when parking. The Forester motorhomes also include a Maxx Air multi-speed power fan with a cover, a shower skylight, a cordless 12V charging plate, plus black out roller shades for privacy any time.
