We loved the floor plan. Worked well for our family, however, we have had nothing but trouble with it since pulling it off the lot! The quality is very poor. Three months after purchase, awning lights had to be replaced, had multiple water leaks because of the shoddy plumbing work. Second time sent in for repairs because the microwave was coming out: cause - loose screws, electircl plug plates were coming off too. Main issue we still have is electrical that causes problems with the ac as well as shorting out fuses. Wouldn't recommend this camper to anyone! Terrible purchase.

Worse purchase I have ever made. Bought brand new and the quality is horrible. On the outside there is glue everywhere. On every window frame, door frame. All the trim. When putting the slide out it pulls the window trim off. All the trim on the inside covering any joint is cut short. There is a piece on wood sticking out of the side window, can not remove because they put a screw from the window frame through it. Trim around table is cut short and not attached exposing the wood frame. Back screen is broke. Tub not even caulked. Outlets on crooked. Nicks and dings everywhere. Dealer sanded numerous spots on the walls and tried fixing as spots. Would be a lemon if it was a motor vehicle. DO NOT EVER BUY A FOREST RIVER RV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing good to say about Forest River, warranty problems, company does not stand behind their product. Purchased new 5th wheel in 2015, serviced more than we’ve been able to use. Carry a cooler on each trip because refrigerator has failed each time we’ve used our camper. Forest River refuses to replace. Crack in tub, thermostat stopped working, crack in slide, miss match cabinets we didnt discover until we used the camper. Returned to manufacturer, put back through the manufacturing line, returned to us with 3 NEW problems. Unfortunately we didn’t do our homework, impulse purchase at Sport and vacation show.

First time RV owners purchased this RV in 2015. First trip out the slides ripped out our drawers in the bunkhouse as they did not stay closed during travel - that was the beginning of our journey. I have to think this unit was the training unit for staff. Since we have had it in the shop 10 weeks in 2 years. Siding has come off twice, microwave fell out of the wall, drawer fronts fall off when we open them, speakers don't work, LED outside lights broke, water pouring in the bunkhouse during a storm, stabilizer jacks broke, antenna for TV reception doesn't work if the air/heat is on. The service shop doing the repairs have found all the wiring in the unit was not properly installed. I have tried calling Salem, no one answers or responds to my messages. My local dealer is trying to take care of me but they are at a lost - and are tired of seeing me. I just want to go camping one time with no issues!
