I have owned a 2903 2015 Baystar for over a year. I love it. It is built on a strong 22000 lb chassis with plenty of weight left for cargo. Just add a solar package and a 2000 watt inverter and you are set. Cant go wrong. Only negative is the kitchen storage is tight but workable

Went from a 36 foot Monaco Windsor to a 2903 BSS and love it more room in bedroom and a super livable plan, for the kitchen we are building a cutting board cover for the sink to give us more counter space

Baystar 2903

We purchased a new 2014 off the dealer lot in Nov and are anxious to take it on our first trip in a month or so. Our previous motorhome was a Winnebago Sightseer 29 ft. The heavier chassis makes for a much better ride. It's taking some doing to reorganize inside and outside storage as the spaces are all different - it's a work in progress. Love the full wall slide, it makes for so much more living space and big window in back adds more light to the bedroom - too bad it does not open up. Ours came with the high tech A/V system that will certainly take a lot of manual reading and knob fiddling to get it to work. Only "issues" we see are no towel racks in the bathroom and no easy way to add a grab bar in the shower.

BayStar

We just bought a 2013 BayStar 2901 and are looking forward to traveling in it this summer. Have been organizing the basement and other storage areas but so far finding things is good order. I did have a problem with the leaf spring bushings, they were working their way out of place but it was covered by dealer warrantee so all fixed!! Nice quality unit on a heavy chassis. We traded up from Itasca Navion with the 5 cylinder diesel, loved the milage but space was lacking. We really will enjoy all the space and comforts!

Bay Star

We bought a 2014 Baystar 2903 at the end of 2013. We have the duel A/C and the 5500 watt generator. We like the size allot. We dry camp and fit into places that we like. The holding tanks are adequate in size and the shower is really a nice size. We have had others that were way to small. We also added a satellite, solar panels and the larger inverter. We have made several long trips and have plans for lots more. Like others have said the full wall slide is great!!

Bought the 2903 2016 last October. Our first RV purchase, we were tent campers for many years beforehand. We were told by some long timers to buy the 4th motor home that you think you would get and that's what we did. We've had several short trips (long weekends) in it over the winter and absolutely love it. Can't wait for some summer camping.

My Bay Star 2901 is a special ordered 2012 and I moved up from a Sprinter based Class-B because I wanted more comfort and less hassle. See the Bay Star sticky on this forum for information about improvements I made has turned the Bay Star into a mini-Mountain Aire's luxury.
