I bought the trailer while still active duty in the military in 2015. We had been living in a 32 ft Denali, which leaked air through the slide-outs bad enough you couldn't keep even the largest of flying insects from coming through the gaps. I chose Cedar Creek 38 CK because it had the washer and dryer in the bedroom slide out, which makes for a much roomier front closet and overall floor plan in the bedroom. As convenient as this seemed at first, it turned out to be a problem which required the slide out floor and external floor to be replaced. Although I have had to make numerous small repairs and modifications on a fairly regular basis (everything from replacing the sliding tracks on the pantry and garbage compartment drawers, replacing the ceiling fan, repairing and replacing the fireplace internal components, to placing angle iron braces underneath the floor to keep the plastic under- compartment panels from falling off while driving down the road) . Since purchasing it I and my wife have lived in the trailer primarily full time, and I must say, that overall, we really like this trailer. The overall quality of the trailer seems to be excellent in comparison to most other fifth wheel travel trailers I have both owned and observed. It holds heat really well, even in the most extreme winter weather. I did end up putting vents around the base of the bed, and in the steps leading up to the bedroom in order to allow for warm-air circulation which definately helps to keep poorly placed water lines from freezing. Likely, the biggest problem I have had is a premature aging of the roofing material. As I could not afford the convenience of a once in a lifetime fiberglass treatment, I simply coated the entire roof with three thick coats of white Flex Seal. So far, it seems to be working. Although the roof never leaked, it certainly would have had I waited much longer. The factory rubber roofing material is supposed to last at least 10 years, it barely made eight. It was developing soft spots and a rough enough texture that it couldn't be cleaned easily without risking tearing the material. Every time I have spoken to the factory about any type of repair or problem, they have always told me I need to bring the trailer to them. This seems to be an avoidance tactic that has worked well enough for the company that they continue to do it.

This is the cheapest made 5th wheel. Trim is piping off. The refrigerator tips over had to put screws in our self. The water hasn’t worked, even after repairs. There are no electric plugs and if there is one they are in the worst possible place. Had to replace one air condition unit. This will be the last Forest River we purchase. Couldn’t get any dealer to work on warranty work near us told us we would need to go three hours away.

We have had nothing but problems with this 5th wheel since we bought it. Black tank is messed up, which should be cover under warranty. The electrical plug for the 12 volt came out bc it doesn't fit. Getting Wade's in Joplin to come and fix things are like pulling teeth. WILL NOT BUY FROM THEM AGAIN!... read more

I’ve been staying in my fifth wheel camper in Tennessee for a year now. I’ve never seen such cheap material used for such an expensive camper. The leather couches, or should I say fake leather, peeled apart within the first two weeks. I was a general contractor for 21 years and I’ve never seen such cheap material used in my life. For a $70,000 camper, need to raise your standards or get out of the business. Would not recommend it to anybody

This trailer is long but no trouble to tow. I have a one ton Silvderado so no trouble there. We have only used it a few times as my wife is afraid because it is so big to haul. I have no problem with it. It is beautiful inside and everything works. Even got a completely new awning because one end had small tear. Even 4 a new tires for the trailer also., and two new batteries for it also. It has been completely winterized. We have a brand new cover for , but they would not let us put it on when we got it. This trailer needs nothing to hit three road for a fun filled week away. The price is up there, but consider that two adults haves uses this fifth wheel only. Glady show it by appointment because of the way they have them parked.
