2011 forest river Flagstaff V-Lite reviews

I bought my camper used approximately 8 years ago when it was 5 years old. We are happy with the layout of the camper and the quality of the cabinets, etc. We have had a couple issues that I am not sure if anyone else has experienced? 1). When we set up our camper we cannot perfectly level the camper while running the a/c without water dripping in the floor of the camper. If I slightly raise the side where the doors are (right side) the water will then run off the roof and down the gutter spouts. Not sure why it does this? 2) Last summer when driving home from a camping trip in late July the face of the radio fell out of the wall and was hanging by the wires. I had to just screw in back into the wall to hold it in place, but now the radio doesn’t work. 3). Carbon dioxide detector was chirping in non stop and so I had to cut the wires and put a movable carbon dioxide in the camper to be safe. Show less

This is a great RV, its roomy enough to live in. There is a place for everything. It's convenient and luxury feeling. Leather rocking reliners are great. You just feel like you are home. It pulls great, you don't even know it is behind you. Everything is in excellent, like new condition. We are getting too old to travel, so we must sell our wonderful RV. We've had 6 RVs total from pull behind camp trailers, to motorhomes and this has been the best ever. My husband has bad vision and we just can't travel anymore. So we need to sell our 5th wheel.

We loved this floor plan for us. No kids. Double bad. Mote room in galley and storage. AC blows cold! 20 ft easy to tow and back store. Also to cover. See through storage compartment. Side outdoor access to propane for out door cooking. Outdoor stove attachment available. Chrome wheels a plus. Appliances still work after 11 years. Show less

Def plenty of room for us with the extra back bedroom and one and a half baths. Storage is great inside camper. I’m able to have food and vital kitchen appliances with no issues. Had some leaks in rear 1/2 bath and back bunkhouse but did not cause damage. The faucets are cheap in bathroom and the handle popped off of one, causing a major waterfall. We put residential faucets in the bathrooms and this solved that issue. Any issues easily fixed. We love this camper and it’s our first fifth wheel. The wood work is beautiful. Can be dark, so we brightened it up with a couch cover and new curtains, removed the bulky dinette. We have it parked in an RV park and keep it under a carport now. It’s our home for now and we don’t feel cramped. Show less

We've had this trailer for 4 years and have put 13,000 miles on it, including long road trips. It replaced a 2013 Windjammer (Forest River) we totaled due to an idiot pulling out in front of us on a freeway. Very livable and towable (with a Hensley!). I pull it with a 2012 F-150 EcoBoost. Main troubles were with trim in & out; FR put flimsy skirting on them which tore on both the Windjammer and V-Lite. 2nd bother is where they put the tank drain: UNDER THE BEDROOM SLIDE!! Whoever designed that ought to be required to live under there!! Otherwise the only reason we're selling it is to downsize a bit. And to get a unit I don't have to crawl in the mud to service!

This is an awesome unit. Sleeps 6-8 pulls very nice, nice garage, kitchen, GENERATOR, nice bath, all around great setup, entertaining is very easy with the rear patio and open floor plan, very nice to travel in. Show less

Lightweight with a great floorplan. This V-Lite is a unique style in that the kitchen is separated (but open) to the living space. The large living room/dinette slide gives enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Two leather Lazy Boy recliners and queen size sleeper sofa provide comfort to watch tv or just visit with friends. 26" tv with surround sound speakers. Enjoy your music inside or outside with the AM/FM/DVD player with indoor and outdoor speakers. The full bathroom is spacious and has 2 closets. A large slide in the bedroom provides plenty of space to move around. Huge window allows plenty of light. Large wardrobe, drawers and OH storage. The beautiful dark wood cabinets throughout the unit provide plenty of storage. The 20' power awning, power front jack and power pads completes the setup. We ordered this unit because of the layout and the fiberglass build. It is lightweight at just 8742 GVW. The included gas grill hooks on to the built in rail for easy cooking. The enjoyment of this trailer is waiting for the next family and we are excited to give you a tour. Show less

Entry level toy hauler. Little storage but fully self contained and functional. No provision for a generator or aux fuel tank. Axles are rated 3500 lbs and higher rated axles used based on the carrying capacity. Water heater gas only which not great. Another cost cutting feature is a single step instead of a two step entry making getting in and out a chore unless the step is replaced with a two step unit. No mechanical or structural issues and all systems worked as they should. Non-ducted A/C not a good idea in a fifth wheel as cooling in the bedroom area requires directing air blast in that direction. Workmanship and quality of fittings is above average otherwise. This is actually a fine little 5th wheel for hauling a bike and I used it to haul a 10' plus Goldwing trike. Pulls really easily. Show less

Great floor plan for a toyhauler! Back is not only for toys but makes a great separate living space! Extremely lightweight, is half ton towable. Slide out gives you the extra space you need for friends! Show less

Great light weight trailer, lots of storage, love the exterior cooktop and shelf, water filter, full queen sized bed, easily maneuvered/towed, great A/C and furnace, it's been perfect for the two of us! Show less
