2019 Dynamax Corporation Force HD

Did you know that the Forest River company began as a manufacturer of travel trailers and tent campers? The company, now over twenty years old, was formed in 1996 by Peter Liegl. Throughout the years, he bought several other smaller companies, including Cobra Industries, Dynamax Corporation, and Firan Motorhomes. Forest River, now owned by Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., sells everything from pontoon boats to buses to motorhomes to commercial vehicles. It has become a four billion dollar business, though of course what most people know it from is the Forest River motorhome and coach lines, such as the Aviator Wright Flyer.

If you’re considering buying a Forest River coach or motorhome, you’ll want to know about FROG – the Forest River Owner’s Group, which plans out trips and meetings around the U.S.A. and Canada. They travel together, or pick a spot and meet up to show off their new rides, classic vehicles, and relax in luxury. With around fourteen hundred members, FROG seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. Part of what makes motorhome travel so interesting is meeting the other people living on the road. Their reasons behind getting away from suburbia, their jobs, and their destinations are always worth listening to, whether it’s over a meal by a campfire or at the gas station while they’re filling up for the long journey ahead.

The Forest River motorhomes and coaches are some of the best in the world, according to its buyers, partially because of the construction, which is a single piece of fiberglass for the roof and the concrete sides, which makes it nearly impenetrable by any sort of weather. It also helps that the interior is stunning, with wooden cabinets, laminate flooring, and those extra little details that make a coach less of a vehicle and more of a home.

You might already know a lot about Unimogs, but if you don’t, they’re big RVs with a decent enough amount of power to push a heavy motorhome through the forest, and usually they go for a more minimalist style when it comes to exterior paint and interior design for the finishings and furniture, as compared with some of the big motorhomes made by Custom Coach, Thor, Prevost, and other manufacturers more active in North America.

We’ve noticed a couple of these extreme off road RVs on eBay recently, too. As an example, let’s look at the most recent one we saw, which may be of interest to anyone thinking of living off grid or RVing full time with excursions into the bush.

This is a Unimog Overland Expedition 4×4 Motorhome, and like many Unimogs, it’s a one-of-a-kind (they’re highly customizable, and Unimog owners like them for that reason – they can make them fit their RVing and camping needs).  From the seller: “Built by SLRV in Australia with second to none build quality. Factory is happy to chat to prospective buyers.

It has the following features : solar panels x7 on roof, 2 x lithium battery’s, refillable gas bottles, air conditioning, Glass double glazed windows, scooter in garage, slide out bbq, wet radiator heating and gas truma blown air heating, corian work tops, compressed air tanks, basement contains water tanks, generator etc. built for long term touring, Smoke free, Pet free.” For something like this, the owner is asking just under $159,000 US dollars (it’s priced in pounds, but according to the current conversion rate that would be roughly the value). This price compares pretty well with used giant diesel pusher motorhome resales in the US, so it might just be a question of style when it comes to motorhome shopping.
