2005 Forest River Class A - Diesel reviews

3rd owner, 59k miles. Carper removed, new Vinyl coated plank nicely installed! Had to replace Center control bearing and rebalance drive line. Vibration wore rear seal in transmission. ($1500) Love Chevy 3500 chassis. Easy breezy to drive for my spouse to drive. V8 6 Liter Vortex has plenty of smooth power to pull hills. I have a thumping noise over passenger seat head liner when hitting bumps in road. I isolated the wiring harness in cowling, still thumps! Wonder about cowling hitting top of cab? Any suggestions appreciated. Walter Show less

We bought this unit, 3rd owner, about eight months ago with 56K miles and appeared to be in excellent condition. I had all four brakes done, pads, calipers, turned rotors and fluid flush. We took it on a 1000 mile trip towing a Saturn VUE. Hard to check mileage because after 3/4 tank or so you have to baby feed the gas. Performed well, but was not stable feeling. On returning home (after replacing driver window regulator) I had air lift suspension added to rear. 100% improvement, now can control with one finger with bags at 70#. Now front section appears to be separating from body and I don’t know a repair at this point. The concept of this unit is ideal for one or two people. It is dry camp capable for many days with large heated tanks. Show less

Solid motor and transmission. Easy steering with Roadmaster stabilizer. Good floor plan with toilet separated from shower/sink. All new tires make for a safe and stable ride. LOTS of storage inside and out, big bin for golf clubs. Handles mountain grades well, passed trucks on a long steep grade in the Rockies. Show less

Recently we purchased the Lexington and find it an exceptional RV even though we chose an older model, it is exceptional in every way and at age 70 we are very comfortable while we travel and stay for 8 days at a time away from home. Show less

My wife and I purchased this RV in May of 18. We have lived in it full time since then. We are extremely happy with how it drives. space for living, and overall appearance and manageability. We have decided to go to a fifth wheel model that matches what other family members are using. Our vacation to New England for 3 weeks was the trip of a life time and this coach made it so easy and enjoyable. Show less

We purchased the unit used just 6 months ago. You always expect issues with purchasing used. Rebuilt the brakes (rotors, calipers, pads, seals, flush brake fluid) on all four wheels, and had three ignition coils replaced (there are 10). All of the RV systems operate flawlessly. Relatively easy to drive, even for the inexperienced. The automatic leveling system is an absolute must, as far as I’m concerned. Haven’t traveled far but our experience in terms of livability (there are just the two of us) has been that t is very comfortable. The on board entertainment is great. And the outdoor entertainment system is very handy. I don’t really have a handle on gas mileage, yet. Seems to be north of 8mpg. Purchasing this unit plus the mechanical work we’ve had done leaves us in at less than $21,000. With only 34,000 on the odometer we are ready for miles and months of travel! Show less

This motorhome drives and rides with smoothness and power. It is very, very liveable. We have enjoyed it immensely. It is spacious and has all the bells and whistles that make traveling in a big rig so enjoyable. High quality. Show less

In the years we have had this coach, we have enjoyed it to the fullest extent. Mostly going to SCCA Races and the odd weekend near the beach. Compared to the old Windsor this one drives like a charm and is able to do so at highway speeds, effortlessly. Interior is very comfortable and we are able to host a number of people for cocktails and dinner. Plenty of storage inside and out. The small features like the power cord auto-reel, the waste water system and the water systems are so easy to use they alone are worth every penny. Show less
