As for parts they are the worst and the customer service they all do not care in the least. Always saying they will get back and they never do. 1 person was great and then she transfered and it has been in the toilet. 1 window and 3 months later still no word on it!!!!!... read more

This our 3rd Trailer. This is the best one we have owned. It has a very Livable Floor plane for a couple. My wife Loves the residential refrigerator, (add exterior flexible child locks to keep doors closed the original is not reliable). We replaced mattress with 11" Pillow top foam mattress on top of 3" foam pad. Sleeps great but it is so thick the head raise function on the bed is not practical to use. We had usual minor warranty problems that you have with any new trailer. Most everything was taken care of by dealer (Beeryland Campers - Ponchatoula La) before we left. We stayed overnight at their facility w/hookups at no charge so they could complete the todo list. I love the auto level and separate gray and galley holding tanks. We can go with out dumping tanks for about 7 days. on the down side the black tank valve is awkward to get to. if you are young it is not a big deal but, an old guy like me well I replaced the manual valve with a electrically actuated valve. I have towed it with RAM 1500 Hemi and 2500 Hemi . Both have worked well. Usual mileage is about 10m / gal..

I love the interior design of our camper and it pulls, as advertised, very well with my F-150 3.5. This is my fourth camper and my third forest river. This camper is by far the poorest quality, and most expensive, RV I have owned. I understand that when you camp, things go wrong, can break, etc. but this is ridiculous. Had this two years and here is my list: Awning and hardward broke off the camper and left us, out of state, with a twisted mess of metal. To FR's credit, this was a defect and they replaced and fixed it (taken months but it got done). All four of the kitchen chairs literally fell apart, or came apart with just road wear. I dont think we even sat in them, and the legs just twisted away, and/or legs broke. All four! We are not big people and frankly were too afraid to sit on them. Glass inserts in several cabinet door have fallen out. Fresh water tank leaks somewhere, has been winterized properly so not sure the source yet, can't afford to take it in yet to the dealer. Curtain hardware is very brittle and several have broken, inside trim pulling away from slides, outside trim pieces over the tires fall off as I drive, outside trim has popped apart from the body and required repair. Outside shower lock broken and had to be replaced. Shower mount fell off. Every time the awning is used, it burns out the fuse so i have a box of fuses I carry. Not a good quality camper.

We bought our Forest River Cherokee Arctic Wolf 315TBH8 New in 2018. The floor plan, color scheme and extras like auto level were what drew us to this product line. We soon realized that the overall attention to quality and detail was limited. Our awning was poorly mounted and had to be re-anchored, our entertainment system was wired incorrectly with no way of turning off external speakers, tv antenna was improperly secured and lost during travel, slide floors were improperly constructed allowing water to penetrate flooring, lots of molding and trim was loose or fell off. Although most repairs were easily fixed by myself, things like this shouldn’t be an issue when you make a purchase like this. Once I repaired/replaced the factory issues, I added a lippert suspension upgrade for smoother towing, under unit spare tire carrier, alternative color LED lights to awning for better illumination, etc. All this made the RV what it should have been when it was new.

Follows well, handles like a dream.Rear kitchen area and dining is a plus too. Keeps people out of your way. I Would entertain a trade for a newer 30ft toy hauler. Price is negotiable. Still under factory warranty. Less than 3k miles on it.
