I've had seen a few people Is knowing an RV Tech Can sometimes be a bad thing cause I can see both worlds. Overall A beautiful trailer Built pretty solid but you still don't want to ever Stress the trailer out by using it too much. It's more just for a Get away for the weekend Overall very nice Looking forward to closing the deal they said it looks like I'm an 8 out of 10 likelihood to get it!!! I told them if I get it I'm gonna ring that bell so hard I might break it *cowbell* That leaves me with this why do cows have cowbells? Some would argue its because their horns don't work!!!!! I did My Sale In ES CAN ABA Michigan

They're built cheap. It has a thin top roof but it was not installed correctly. Something is wrong if they expect you to keep piling on caulk all around the roof. It's now 6 years old and the screws are rusty. The aluminum skin collects condensation inside the walls and probably rots out the wood. Two of the ... read more
They're built cheap. It has a thin top roof but it was not installed correctly. Something is wrong if they expect you to keep piling on caulk all around the roof. It's now 6 years old and the screws are rusty. The aluminum skin collects condensation inside the walls and probably rots out the wood. Two of the screws do not screw I to anything and never did! I am not happy with this travel trailer.

We bought this RV from someone who used it 3 to 4 times, we got a really good deal on it, but sone things I have noticed. Shades are terrible and have broken when you push them up, the crease and its a pain to get them to follow the folds. The roof had to have some more caulk in areas that was never done. A drain pipe had inproper slope, had to be fixed. The c channel that the stabilizers bolt to had 2 platics nubs that were rubbing on my holding tank, lucky I caught it in time. Inside speakers are not loud enough when watching a dvd, while air is on. It tow's good and all appliances work well.

Siding started pulling away from trailer 1 month after I purchased it. Dealer fixed it that time - now 3 years later and only 5 times being used - siding is coming apart AGAIN! Called Forest River and they will not help me nor will the dealership. Trailer is a piece of junk with terrible build construction! The company Forest River has TERRIBLE customer service - very rude! Do not buy a Forest River product and stay away from Broadmoor RV in Pasco WA. - rip offs!!!

We loved this trailer, which was our first. From the minute of hooking it up and towing it home the first time (with a 1/2 SUV), it towed straight and followed through turns as you would expect. The use of a brake controller helps with the braking such that there didn't seem to be any extra surging or pushing on the vehicle by the trailer when stopping. The layout is great and we spent several weeks living in ours while having some home remodeling done (3 kids and 2 adults). The sink outside of the bathroom is great so that people can use the bathroom while someone else is either washing up or brushing their teeth. I highly recommend the U-shaped dinette over the "booth" style; you have more room with the U-shaped seating arrangement and it does not feel overly crowded. There is plenty of storage in the 27DBUD, so that was never an issue. It is a great trailer that I would strongly recommend.
