2014 Prime Time Sanibel 3050 5th Wheel Reviews on RV Insider (5)
Avg. Rating

We purchased our Sanibel in November 2014 at Campers Inn in Leesburg Fl. It was the exact floor plan we had been looking for. After camping in it for 3 nights we found some things that needed to be fixed. We took it back to Leesburg in January and they replaced a ceiling fan that was not installed properly and did a couple of minor repairs. They recommended that we take it to Campers Inn in Mocksville NC for the remainder of the work because we would be in NC for the summer and Leesburg did not have enough time to order parts and do the repairs before we left. In April we took it to Mocksville and left it for 3 weeks and no repairs were done. It fell through the cracks on getting parts ordered. By the way one of the parts was another fan since the last one was also not installed properly. We picked it up without the work being done because we had a 3 week trip planned. While on our trip we blew 2 new Good Year tires and tore up the side of the camper. Took camper back to Mocksville June 16 and still no warranty parts. By this time we had more to add to be fixed. Good Year agreed to pay for damages and replaced all the tire. It stayed in Mocksville until the end of August to get the repairs done. Still had 2 more warranty issues to be done but they had to get approvals. We took the camper to the beach in September and returned with 13 more items to be fixed including another bad fan. Took the camper back to Mocksville on September 29 and it is still there. The front cap on the camper is bad. It is 2 different colors and not shiny. Roger at Prime Time says you can't see it in the pictures so it is not covered. We are at the end of our rope over this camper. We were told after we bought it that Forest River who built it is hard to deal with. Too late we find this out. We should have stayed with Jayco. Never had any problems with them. They seem to care more about their customers. Forest River seems to throw these campers together and too bad you are stuck with it.

The sanibel looked beautiful on the inside but the quality of construction is poor. From cheap tires to a rrsidentirefrigerator that could not run without 50 amp plug in power snd the dealer and manufacturer were impossible to deal with

Where to begin. Bought in early 2015. So many problems that ended up taking to Elkhart Indiana for work. Over $8000.00 later we still have problems. There is no quality control when producing this product. Not only the camper is poor quality but the norelco refrigerator had to be replaced and the couches are showing wear and we are not fulltimers. The front cup had to be replaced so after only a year it is showing oxidation. We have had 5 Forest River products and never have had these kind of problems. Warren Buffet needs to look into his Prime Time investment. Our Sanibel is a real lemon. The layout is comfortable

I absolutely love the floor plan and the RV. Bought in Aug. 2014 and used extensively for 9 months there after. Stayed parked from April of 15 and used a couple time a month. Has developed a roof leak among other quality issues that they have agreed to fix. In for repair they tell me that the bedroom slide floor is rotten by my lack of maintenance on the slide seals. There is no where in the owners manual that I could find which describes routine maintenance or a schedule for such on the slide seals. Prime time has rejected my warranty claim. Quality control from the manufacturer very poor in my opinion and very disappointed in the service. My RV has been in the shop going on three months now and still incomplete

We purchased this RV in May of 2014 so the experience is new, but it has met or exceeded our expectations. We enjoy the RV life and this RV does it to our specifications. There are only 2 of us so I'm sure that makes a difference. I would highly recommend this RV. We really like that all three sides are open with windows in the back. The Sanibel has lots of extras built-in which is another plus.....
