2016 Forest River 5th Wheel reviews

The living area is relaxing and very functional. Ceiling fan with vaulted ceiling is usually not found in an RV in this price range. I've been in Cedar Creeks and this RV is compatible with them . My wife and I spent winters with this model for over four years and were still speaking to each other after our trips. Very livable Show less

We bought this RV brand new. We have had a wonderful few years using it, but we are moving on to the next stage in life, but now we are wanting a bunkhouse and something that we can travel for long periods of time! Show less

In our opinion, a 5th wheel RV is much easier to tow than a regular travel trailer. No sway to speak of, even when an 18 wheeler blows by you on the highway. Our Sandpiper is the perfect set up for 2 people in a long term situation. Additionally, having the half bath near the living room area is great for guests using the pull out sofa bed. We installed a roof mounted automatic positioning satellite dish and using Dish Network, we only pay for service when we’re camping. The residential sized refrigerator is as big as the one in our home, and the ice maker keeps our coolers iced up while camping. No need to buy overpriced bags of ice. The small fridge in the outdoor kitchen is great for keeping cold beverages close to the campfire. The master bath in this unit is huge. Plenty of room for two people to use at once. We added a washer/dryer combo unit which gave us additional drawer space for clothes. Show less

We have enjoyed our Wildcat 29RKP now going on 3 yrs and are steeping up to a class A Motorhome. We were very pleased with the quality of the 5th wheel and greatly enjoyed the patio feature. We are sad to have to give that feature up. The camper is absolutely perfect for a couple. I really can’t say anything negative about the camper and feel that Forest River did a great job designing this 5th wheel. Show less

We have absolutely loved camping in this RV. We made it our own so it would feel comfortable, warm and welcoming. We have had many people come camping with us over the years and everyone says it feels like a real home. Only reason we are selling is because we are downsizing. Show less

Warranties with Forest River are above and beyond. Our roof was leaking and caused patricidal delamination which Forest River replaced the roof and put all new side walls on. We didn't pay a penny. So our RV is a 2020 on a 2016 frame. I won't buy any other product than a Forest River Product. The 13 foot garage makes use for an office, pantry, extra closet and chest freezer when staying a place for up to a year. Theater seating with fire place and entertainment center making movie watching enjoyable. The loft above make for extra storage when you don't have the grandchildren with. Show less

This is a great camper for a family with kids. The bunk house with the 2nd half bath is a blessing for giving everyone space when living close. This rig towed effortlessly with a Hemi. I had no quality issues in 4 seasons. The folding prep table made getting meals ready easier. Storage is plentiful inside and out. Small enough to get into a lot of sites but big enough to spend a rainy day inside. Show less

Pros: - Full-size queen bed - not a trailer bed - Floorplan was great - large living room with two comfortable recliners facing the television - Full shower with an enclosure - not just a curtain Cons: - Limited closet space - No automatic leveling system Show less

This is a great camper, especially for full-timers! Spacious and lots of storage! Complete hydraulic leveling system makes set up a breeze.With the residential fridge, you now do not have to worry about coolers and ice to store drinks and food! Show less

We bought this in 2018, but the previous owner barely used it and it looked like new! Here are my complaints: The water tank was reversed and had to be fixed! The refrigerator tore up immediately! The shower won’t drain unless you press on the side of the drain! Very irritating! And last but not least, the sofa and theater seating has the worst, thinnest faux leather in the world! It’s just my husband and I and we’re not hard on furniture, but it’s ruined, between the seams busting open and the leather pulling off, it’s ridiculous! When the first sofa cushion split on one of the seams, we ordered a new cushion and with $200.00 shipping, it was $450,00 total. I’m serious! I would not recommend this 5th wheel to anyone! Very disappointed!!! Show less
