2018 Forest River 5th Wheel reviews

Simply love this trailer. Been living full time for over 5 years with no issues. Pulls great down the road and has all the luxury items I need. This unit is well made and shows little maintenance required after road trips. You can't go wrong with this unit. Show less

We have owned ours for almost 2 years. I would live in this thing if my husband would allow us - lol! Very spacious, great storage, and love the garage with the 1/2 bath. We have camped in different areas and it was great to easily unload our golf cart from the garage compared to out of the back of the truck. The indoor/outdoor sound system really kicks. The larger size refridgerater is super nice for long trips! Show less

Looks good and nice floor plan, but all the parts are cheap (breaking all the time) and the holes for the slides are not sealed which allows rodents in quite easily. The electrical panel is positioned directly over a grey water tank. A mouse can get in there and cause havoc, but you can't get in there to fix it without cutting out the floor. It should be criminal to build such a piece of crap. We've only moved it one time, from the dealer to our property, but things fall apart quite easily, can't imagine how much would go wrong if we actually drove it somewhere. We're stuck paying on it for another 10 years, so have to make the best of it, but new buyers beware, the purchase was a HUGE REGRET! Show less

We really like best Riverstone legacy but big problems came up the whole coach started delaminating. For $150,000 you think Forest River would cover this but that's a no. You have no choice but to get rid of the coach and hand that problem off to somebody else. I will never buy a Forest River product again Show less

We have had this RV for almost 2 years. It tows great and is very stable on the road. Over all quality is great and has held up well to me, my wife and our 18 year old daughter. Plenty of room and very very cozy. Four seasons package makes winter a breeze. Overall a great RV. We just bought a new house so priorities are elsewhere now. Show less

We purchased our 2018 Riverstone in Jan 2019, and headed out for a tour around the country for 1 1/2 years, then lived in it full time in Florida for 3 1/2 years The livability of the 39FL is fantastic. The kitchen layout is perfect for the amount of counter space (the island), allowing me to have everything I needed right at my fingertips, no walking across the room for supplies. Also, having a residential fridge gave me plenty of storage space to stock up, and the lower freezer drawer is large. We always traveled with the fridge on, never had any issues. The induction stove is just as good as having a gas stove, in terms of controlling cooking temperatures. The convection oven was large enough and cooked evenly, I could even bake muffins, cakes and bread. (We do not have a traditional oven). Dishwasher is small, but works great, nice to not have to wash dishes by hand! The front living room gives just enough separation, and I liked the built ins for storage (one side held all my crafting and sewing supplies), the TV flipped up and held all our books and DVDs and the other side held all our files and important household items. Having both bump-out couches turn into beds was also a plus for having family stay with us. Recliners are comfortable and the 60” TV made for great movie nights. We also have the dual shades, one for sun, and then full coverage. The bathroom is very functional given it’s size, again, plenty of storage. The bedroom, being in the rear makes it a quiet place to sleep, and with the bureau, over-the-bed cupboards and double closet, there is plenty of storage. Washer dryer location is easy to get to and the bed is a great place to fold laundry. Another feature that is key in the Riverstone is the 4” insulated walls. It is very quiet, and we have been in areas that were cold, around 30 degrees and we were warm and toasty with the heat on. The bedroom and Living Room fireplaces make it cozy and warm. Nothing like having the bedroom fireplace on before you get up on a chilly morning. The rig towed smoothly, turned well and made many it up may steep grades and switchbacks with ease. Now that we are done traveling, the layout of this 39FL is going to be the starting point for building a tiny home. I want to keep that kitchen! Show less

Really like the floor plan of this 5th wheel. Tons of storage in the kitchen, bedroom closet, and underneath the RV. Have enjoyed the high top free standing table- don't see this style in other RV's. Living room area is nice and spacious and couches that came with the RV are quite comfortable. This RV is great for extended camping or living in. Spent time in the winter and was very warm without any freezing of any pipes with skirting. Would highly recommend! Show less

The floorplan is perfect, and the camper has plenty of room. However, for the cost, the product is made with poor quality material. Our camper is a 2018 and was not used very often until last year. The up/down (not rollout) windows came apart last year, they aren't covered by the extended warranty or the manufacturer. The skylight above the bathtub is cracked and water is leaking in, not covered because it's caused by the sun. How is it possible that a sky light isn't made well enough to standup to the weather.

We purchased our Cedar Creek in 2018 and lived in it full time for a year and a half in 2019-2020 in western South Dakota, a portion of that time being the third coldest winter in South Dakota's recorded history! While other full-time RVers were dealing with frozen pipes, our unit handled the below zero temps successfully, thanks to the tank heaters, custom skirting, and other typical winterizing measures taken. We have two house dogs, one an 85 lb. black lab, and we didn't have any space issues having them in the RV. I worked remotely, so we replaced the tri-fold couch in the 2nd bedroom with a sit-stand desk for my computer workstation. I also used the 2nd bedroom/office as my vanity, clothes closet and dresser, and coffee nook. We also wintered in it for 6 months in Arizona, November through April, and the two A/C units kept up with the 80+ degree days. We were very comfortable. The electric fireplace in the living room helped warm the RV when nights were cool. The only reason we are selling is because we downsized to a Class C so we can make shorter trips and I am able to help drive. Although we like our new Class C, it does not carry the quality of workmanship, cabinetry, and furniture as our Forest River, so we will miss that. Show less

while I was told this is a 4 season rv ,,forget it,,,it eats propane in the winter and both a/c struggle in the summer,,,propane lines leak,,,roof leaked 1st year,,outside weatherstripping fell apart and fell off,,,stitching on awning fell apart,,awning works when it decides it wants too,,bed fell apart,,,fresh water tank fills up on its own,,and there is not way this is a four season rv,,,oh and recliner seats fell apart in 2nd year,,and only used by 1 lightweight senior dude,,,and either nails or fasteners used under the flooring keep popping up ,,have to hammer them done on monthly time,,,Forest River left a very bad taste in quality on their products Show less
