2012 ForEST RIVER XLR Hyper Lite reviews

Great RV. Well made. French country cabinets. dual sinks and two bathrooms make it extra nice when guests come over and do not have to enter your bedroom to use the toilet. Easily put out slides and awning is nice Show less

This RV is great for a couple only or with 1 or 2 small kiddos. It is light traveling. And with the sway bars you don't even know you're towing a camper. Beautiful picture window in the living room for viewing the landscapes. Spacious area so you don't feel like your bumping into others. Love the feel of booth seating. Love having the bathroom so close to the bedroom so you don't have to walk across the camper in the middle of the night. Show less

Love this Travel Trailer. It has been trouble free since we owned it. The travel trailer is very light and I'm able to pull it with my 1/2 ton pick up. The unit is made of high quality materials. We are really happy with our purchase. Show less

On our way home from Arkansas I noticed while doing a circle check, left side of trailer had 6 cracks on i beam and the flange was broken open at front of suspension.Right side had 5 cracks of which all are above suspension area!! When you walk in trailer it was like being in a boat with rough water -side to side motion also this way when towing home 800 km as no dealers or welding shops had time to put 3 cross braces across hanger brackets . I contacted Forest River XLR department and Diane quickly responded back and sent information to Lippert as they make the frames. Brian responded back and said that nothing could be done as we are second owner and rust on frame, also frame built to spec. So then Forest River engineering have no clue!! As was the problem of bent 3,500 lb axles and I replaced with 4,400 lb at our expense due to no warranty on second owners. So now our retirement travel's are on hold as we have a unfit trailer and very Blessed that we made it home and not pulled over by police or MTO. They would have pulled plates and charged us. Knowing this a my 44 years as truck driver. Trailer is VERY unsafe and not wanting to turn any corners as this is what created the stress cracks on the 1/8"gauge-( 6 i beam) along with driving on the rough roads. I thought retirement was Living the Dream not worrying about trailer axles falling out and could cause trailer to flip over. Will be contacting the NHTSA about this and MTO (Canada). NEVER BUY FOREST RIVER !! or you will pay dearly by accident or wallet to repair But as Brian said built to spec. We need not North American Engineering but Chinese or Korean to engineer the RV industry, then it will be correct!! Any one know the owner - Warren Buffet email address?? Check your trailer out and ride safe not as a hazard to those around!! James Show less

This RV is an excellent chose for someone going across the country. It tows and tracks very nicely behind any stock pickup. Has all the amenities that you would want to live in for extended period of time. It has plenty of storage room and cargo carrying capacity for anything that you desire to bring camping. Rockwood RV's have had an excellent reputation for a well made quality unit. I would definitely recommend this for the first time RV'r. Show less

We are very happy with this unit. We bought it new. We love the large roomy bathroom, most are tiny and cramped. Really like the Murphy bed too. Since its just the two of us, wife and I and we wanted something smaller to start with this camper has worked very well for us. Haven't had any issues with it so far. Easy to tow. Easy to set up. Has quite a few amenities standard that are extra with other makes/brands. Can't find anything negative to say about it. Show less

Great travel trailer. Owned it for 3 years and have had very few issues. Great floor plan, excellent build quality, very durable and dependable. Plan to keep it another couple of years at least. We've towed it over 15,000 miles and average 1 night camping every 10 days. Very pleased. Show less

Easy to tow, set up, lay out is tastefully done, and all extras are packed into camper for luxury enjoyment. Show less
