Enjoyed owning the 36B5 floor plan. The amount of living space and storage was great. The build quality was very good and driving it is easy. If I were to change something it would be to have a bigger awning than 12.5 feet....

We owned a 2019 Georgetown 36B5 and while we did enjoy the 2 years we lived in it, it sure didn't start off that way due.

We owned a 2019 Georgetown 36B5 and while we did enjoy the 2 years we lived in it, it sure didn't start off that way due. The stock Ford F53 chassis does not handle very well which is why it didn't drive very well. The RV was greatly impacted by cross winds, other large vehicles passing and poor road conditions. Here is what we did to greatly improve the driveability of our RV
Extras Added to our Georgetown 36B5
1) A steering stabilizer was added to help keep the steering on track
2) Another additional heavy duty sway bar was added to reduce the the body's desire to roll
3) A Trac Bar was added to help keep the RV running true. I believe this may have been the best thing we could have done.
With all of the above extras added our Georgetown became much nicer to drive. Now this 8' foot wide RV doesn't drive like a car but the white knuckles days of fighting to keep the vehicle in it's lane are gone. In fact with all of the above improvements trips are now enjoyable and the driver can now enjoy the scenery along the way.
Like I said we lived in this RV for 2 years and since I work from the road and required a internet connection a lot was done to help improve the RVs connection to the internet. A high gain cellular antenna was added along with a 4g amp to help improve the RVs ability to connect to the internet. Another feature we added was a Wingrad ConnecT 2. This unit will provide a hot spot for WiFi connections when it is connected to a cellular provider (We used AT

Coach and Forest River have been amazing. Drives like a dream with the upgraded suspension. Love having 2 bathrooms. No other has coaches have this. Kids love having their own space in the bunkhouse. The outdoor TV and speakers make you remember why you are camping....

What a piece of junk!! Chassis built in 2016 but unit titled as 2019?? Generator did not work on delivery and still does not work reliably because it shuts down after a few minutes of running. Sink drains leaked on first use because they were snapped of from tightening them too tight at the factory. there is no insulation in the entire unit!! Whats with that!!??!?! Walls are made with what seems to be cardboard and will not not support the towel racks or TP holders. Refrigerator does not work - it runs but nothing stays cold or freezes in the freezer. they told me it has to run for 24 hrs but it has been running constantly for weeks. I wish I could undo this purchase!!
