2016 Forest River Vengeance reviews

We purchased this unit new in 2017 as it was the previous year model which gave us a discount. Overall we have been pleased with the purchase. We have had some issues that had to be repaired beginning with the awning. The motor burned out but it was a quick fix. We also sent it in before the 1yr warranty to repair the lip of the counter that started to peel away. Forest River replaced the entire counter which was nice although it took about 3 1/2 weeks to get it in. We had 1 wire to the bedroom lights that had a short in it and my electrical engineering son fixed that relatively easily. The layout is perfect for taking all the toys we have with us. We travel with Kayaks, bikes, hiking gear and ATVs. They all fit in the camper with no problems. Our AC went out this summer (3 years old) and we replaced it ourselves with relative ease. We were told by a local rv repairshop that the model year of our AC was known to have issues and he was surprised it lasted 3 yrs. our new one has great consumer reports so hopefully we don't have that issue again. No issues with plumbing or appliances so far. We did have to replace our tires as the unit came with the cheapest ones available and we had 2 blow outs. All are replaced and no issues since. Happy Camping! Show less

We are in the process of fighting with forest river to fix problems. We have only used this camper about 7 weeks in a year and a half. The first night we had it the slide leaked got it back in time to park it for the winter. Cupboard doors fell off, the black skirting was falling off. Floor had wood chips that created bubbles and the dealer is telling us that it is normal wear and tear. The back ramp is now delaminating. This camper has been a big mistake, it is our second one after the first unhooked from the truck. Wish we had never bought this. It is a very expensive lawn ornament. Show less
