2018 Forest River Sandstorm reviews

I bought this trailer thinking it would be my last one. Apon retirement. I liked the look, roominess, and room for future ability to haul my motorcycle. The trailer has been a total nightmare. Was back at the dealer for repairs 3 times for a total of 4 months in the first year. AC kept shutting down, running lights, issues with staples coming loose on valances and barrel chairs, stereo oveheating due to improper instalation, desalination of the vinyl floor, inadequate furnace ducting, DC receptacles not working and then the drawers in the kitchen collapsed due to poor building design, dealing with the dealership Baird Family Rv, ontario is the worst. The service manager, dealership owners son treats customers rudely and does not get work done when he says he will, then cops attitude with customers about it. Latest hailures , second long trip found that the supersede is not designed properly. 4 rollers rated at 200lbs each rolling directly on rough spray painted plywood for a 13 foot slide causing desalination of the plywood. A large part of the kitchen, and a couch are in the slide. Also my wife stepped through the floor in the garage area. This is due to not having support along the edges and weak materials. Also in for having the stove vent re repaired because family rv did it wrong, to fix the toilet that won't flush due to some kind of water issue. I definitely won't buy another forest river product ever. Not even if hell freezes over! Show less

We bought our 2018 28ft Sandstorm Fifth-wheel toy-hauler 1 year ago. We had warranty issues and Dennis Dillon RV told us to wait until winter to bring it in and keep track of the issues. Wrong don’t ever wait! They sent off warranty requests to Forrest River for approval and we had a hard time getting the work done. Black tank leaked, our door wouldn’t stay shut, the oven cover came apart and the window covers were all loose. After 3 months we got the camper back and the black tank wasn’t fixed and the carpet had staples everywhere. The worst service and had to fight to get anything fixed under warranty. The door still won’t stay shut but to take it in and wait 3 months is unacceptable. Will never buy another Forrest river product or buy from a Dennis Dillion company. Show less

Great starter RV - has all the capabilities the big RV's have, quality build would recommend to anybody interested in camping in general, especially dry camping. Have had no issues with anything at all in this RV! an overall great rig Show less
