East to West Motorized
Packing a lot of features into one floorplan and new for 2027 is the Super C Bravado 35KB. This model is built on a Ford F600 4×4 diesel chassis and is designed with thoughtful interiors and durable materials. The 35KB floorplan features a king bed, dual pane windows with integrated day/night shades, an 8,000-watt diesel generator, two lithium batteries, a 36-inch by 36-inch shower, two 200-watt solar panels and power theater seats. The cab-over-bunk measures 53 inches by 96 inches, and a TV is located over the dinette.
National Sales Manager Rob Schwindaman says the most successful features this year have been the features on the E450 floorplans, including 50 AMP/15K AC with heat pump in the living room and 13.5 AC in the bedroom with a 6,000-watt generator.
For the upcoming year, he says new full body paints for Entrada, Alita, and Bravado will catch dealer’s and customer’s eyes alike. He also says the brand is capitalizing on customers’ desire for a smooth ride in 2027 and doing so with the Precision ride option, which is an upgraded suspension system including Bilstein shock absorbers and Hellwig sway bars.
Looking at this year’s market and ahead to next year as well, Schwindaman says, “The market is challenging, but our industry is very resilient and we will persevere.”

Sunseeker | Forester
Sunseeker and Forester will each debut two new floorplans at Open House this year: Sunseeker debuts 3150 and 2530, and the Forester debuts the 3151 and the 2531.
The Sunseeker 3150 and Forester 3151 feature the new super sofa Lounger King Bed, entry coat closet, larger windows and a shower 30% larger than in a standard Class C.
“It has a great kitchen in terms of both storage and counter space,” says Product Manager Kary Katzenberger.
For a smaller footprint, the new Sunseeker 2530 and Forester 2531 are under 26 feet, with a great kitchen space, and a twin bed feature that converts to a 90-by-72-inch king bed.
For the outdoor enthusiasts, there is exterior storage with room for kayaks, e-bikes and camping equipment.
New for 2027, all units will be equipped with Starlink Prep. The new Sunseeker 2030 and Forester 2031 are built on the Ram ProMaster cutaway that debuted last year, and Katzenberger says that design is doing very well.
“These units are designed for outdoor enthusiasts,” he says. “It’s a smaller affordable unit designed for people on the move.”
While there aren’t any major exterior changes for 2027, the interiors of Sunseeker and Forester get complete makeovers.
Katzenberger says in terms of the market and 2027 trends, he’s expecting to see smaller units as business is tough and might be tight for the next year.
“Our goal is to build the best, most affordable unit on the market,” says Katzenberger.
Attendees can see Sunseeker and Forester at the Forest River the Forest River site at 29861 U.S. Highway 33 during Open House.
