It is important to research brands and models thoroughly. First there was a Glut of orders causing quality issues and now there is a slowing industry causing manufacturers to cut back, causing quality issues. There are a number of recalls out on the Sunseeker
Welcome to RVS. This is a good place to find good information.
We had a Forest River "Solera" a few years back. I believe this model is now called the Sunseeker MBS.
It was a good, though small coach. In the 2+ years we owned it, it gave us good service and and had no real issues. As we began to spend more time on the road, however; it became apparent to us (YMMV) that we needed something a bit more spacious. That led to the 2014 Newmar Ventana LE 3436 and then to the current coach, a 2018 Newmar Mountain Aire 4047.
I think most people follow a somewhat similar path; starting small and then working up. Do your research, look at (and drive, if possible) a wide variety of coaches before committing to a purchase. And, don't overlook a clean, well-maintained coach that is a few years old.
We started out looking at Class C’s. Really liked the floor plans on some Forest River Foresters. But...the cab is really uncomfortable, particularly for the passenger. The doghouse takes up so much room that the passenger has to put their legs way off to the curbside...at the time, there were only Ford chassis’ available. I understand that the Chevy based ones have a bit more room. Then we learned that there were “short” Class A’s. At the time we didn’t want to shell out the $$$ for a DP, as it was our first RV. Now, 2 years later, we’ve ordered a 35’ Newmar New Aire...
