2016 Forest River Viking Ultra-Lite reviews

We’ve owned this RV for 9 years and have really enjoyed it. I even lived in it for 3 months during a transfer for a job. It’s small but very well set up. It’s perfect for a couple, but the sofa folds out to a bed and the dinette makes a small bed if you have company. The bathroom and shower are a nice size for a small RV. It’s easy to hook up and go for a weekend but we’ve also stayed for a couple of weeks comfortably. Show less

I bought a 2016 Viking bunkhouse off of a dealership in my local community. This had been previously purchased and only owned for about two weeks before the driver returned it because pulling a trailer scared them. So I bought it on consignment with absolutely nothing wrong with it. It was brand new. Not even seven years later and all of the factory welds have started to fail so I reached out to my local insurance adjuster and they said sorry that is a manufacturers defect from when the steel was poured into the frame. So then I reached out to this company asking if they could help in anyway as it seems pretty ridiculous that within seven years, all the welds would start failing. I sent them photos. I sent them a welders report And all sorts of stuff. In the beginning, they seem like they were going to help me out. But in the end they didn’t. They just pretty much said oh well sucks to be you and that’s it. No further communication. So I would never buy from this company or especially this model or namebrand or anything from this company as they don’t honour their work. I am a military family with two little girls and our entire summer is now blown because of the faulty workmanship that was sold to me. I can’t give a negative star, or I would. I highly recommend you take your money somewhere else because the quality sold by this company is garbage. Show less

This camper is very user friendly. We have stayed 3 weeks in it and always felt comfortable. Towing the camper I recommend a 3/4 ton. The warranty has expired. We are very comfortable camping in this camper both in and off the grid however, we out here the garage with our new purchase. 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

I live in my 8329ss with Diamond package full-time 2 years now. And I love it perfect floor plan for full-time living. Although now I do need to get a bigger truck perhaps a Dodge Ram 2500. No issues with this camper other than a few Staples are popping out of the trim Show less

Great experience with this RV well made, top of the line kitchen, great stove, refrig and freezer, tows well, nice power jacks, easy to winterize, lots of storage, queen bed is nice, great entertainment systems, Loved this travel trailer, power awning was great 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

Bought this new after much research. After four years, it is still like new after much use and travel. Love the floor plan! It is very roomy, comfortable and a whole lot of storage space. Have not had any problems or issues. It tows beautifully! LOVE,LOVE,LOVE IT!! Show less

This RV has a wonderful distribution hitch making the drive smooth. It is very roomy with so much storage. We loved the separate bunk room for the kids to play. Having two separate entrances made bathroom stops on the road easy. My favorite thing is the mobile table, we have an ottoman that we pull out, kick back and relax on the giant couch. Show less

I have owned a Flagstaff and I own this Rockwood. The Rockwood is a superior built RV. We have had zero issues with the build on this camper. This RV has always been stored under a covered carport and the finishes all look new. I have always maintained the roof by cleaning and sealing it. The finishes and cabinets are nicer than most other campers. The electronics on this unit are very reliable. Countertops are Corian solid surfaces. Backsplashes are real stone tile, not a sticker. Other items other that I did not list in the ad include: Two Fantastic type vent fans with Maxaire covers to protect the vent lids. If you are camping in the shade you can cool the RV with just the super vent fans. No need to run the A/C. The entertainment system is bluetooth and the audio can be operated from a iphone or any smartphone. The outdoor shower is located inbetween two slideouts, which allows you to hang a privacy shower curtain. Great for outdoor showering when you don't want to fill up the grey tanks with long showers. The camper has a lot of storage inside and out. Large pantry in the kitchen, lots of cabinets all around the unit. The master bedroom has a large closet amoire to hang clothes. TV in bedroom. The TV in the living room is hidden inside the cabinets. Push a button and it raises up when you need it. Under the TV is a charming fireplace with a fire TV screen to take the chill off of cool mornings. This RV has a quick connect gas connect on the outside, great for cooking out of doors on a grill or a Blackstone using the RV's built in propane tanks. I put Goodyear Endurance 10 Ply tires on this summer. They greatly improve the towing of a camper. Almost eliminates the air push from semi-trucks when they pass you. Also the Endurance tires are Made in USA and are the best you can get on a RV trailer. Until you try them you can't appreciate how good these tires are. Camper comes with X-Chocks to keep it in place. Easy to use. This camper also has the best Reece Weight distribution hitch system with sway control cams to keep your ride inline and balanced. Much easier to hook up than our original Blue ox system. Camper is a 30 AMP system. Sewage hoses and electrical hookups are included with this camper. You will be ready to camp as soon as you purchase this camper. Show less
