Build quality is extremely low. You can tell it was put together by someone new, someone who didn't care or some mix of the two. There are gaps between every surface that meets with another. Nothing is square. If you're the type of person who is bothered by inconsistencies or visible cosmetic issues then I wouldn't buy anything from forest river.
One of my biggest complaints is how they cut holes to run power and water lines through the floor. Instead of cutting a 3 inch hole for a 2 inch pipe they cut a 12 inch hole and don't fill it at all. That means mice and other even larger animals can essentially walk right in. We've had endless issues with mice and the only solution is to drop the tanks, remove the underbelly liner and seal every sloppy attempt at running utilities I can find.
I've also found many wiring issues, mainly reversed color wires being connected.
