There's a Forest River owners' group forum with some GT postings. We're very pleased with our '02, which we bought from the original owners a year ago. Just a few minor problems, easily taken care of.

Sure, it rides like an 11-ton truck - after all it IS an 11-ton truck. We can live with it for 4000 miles a year, rather than spend a ton of money for suspension mods. Rather spend it on gas and CG fees!

My husband and I have a 2008 four Winds Hurricane 33t and have been looking at the 2012 Georgetown 378, i've been looking for feedback also on the georgetown MH.

Skelley:

I just did a rip-out of the overhead cabinets in the slide-out of our 02 325. We'd had a leak at the end of last season due to a rotted slide topper and a damaged wiper seal on the slide ceiling.

I was NOT impressed with the construction and installation of the cabinets. It looked like they had been built inside the MH from raw materials, rather than having been an installed sub-assembly. When I took them down, I discovered that the tie-downs to the ceiking were woodscrews into a piece of 1/8" lauan plywood that was glued to the styrofoam insulation. Of the 8 screws holding the cabinets up, only two of them actually unscrewed. The others were corroded and loose in the holes.

My rebuild attaches them to the three full-length longitudinal steel tubes in the ceiling. I'm amazed the originals didn't fall down on our heads.

I have an eerie feeling that i'm going to discover a lot of other questionable manufacturing techniques as the years go by. We're fairly happy with the overall appearance and condition, but there's always a concern about what other J .Michael Mouse contruction methods will give us problems from now on.
