2019 Forest River Cedar Creek Hathaway 5th Wheel reviews

We bought our 2019 Cedar Creek in October, 2019. We have had one issue after another. The recliners were improperly installed and tore the heck out if the vinyl underneath. After 12 months that style of recliner was no loner available and the set we were sent were too large. We finally found a set on our own Show less

We were so excited to buy our fifth wheel however about a year after we purchased it brand new we noticed water damage inside the cabin. We couldn’t find where it was leaking but to make a long story short it was a faulty valve under the a.c unit letting water in thru it so slowly that we didn’t notice it right away. We turned into our insurance and it was denied because it wasn’t an accident. So we did a claim with Forest River and they denied it because it was past warranty and they referred us to Dometic, the company who made the a.c unit and we found out we had one week left on that warranty. But they stated they weren’t responsible for cosmetic so they denied it. It’s sad you but a 100,000 fifth wheel and a year later you have severe water damage!!! It’s sad that a company doesn’t step up and do the right thing for their consumer but it’s all about the money not being loyal to your product. Very disappointed Show less

We loved our 5th wheel for the one summer trip we used it when we went to Michigan. We were gone for 5 months. There is plenty of room for living in it for several months at a time. We loved the rear living room and used the fireplace quite often and even enjoyed the comfort of the bed and size of the slide outs giving us an enormous amount of space. It is very roomy and perfect for my wife and I and of course our cat. It pulls like a dream behind my 3/4 ton Chevy pickup. We love the big bathroom and the double vanity. The shower is very roomy making it easy to take a shower. The instant heat for the shower is amazing! There is a lot of storage. Which helps when you are living in it for a long period of time. Overall we are very happy with the trailer! Show less

Purchased a new 2019 Cedar Creek Hathaway in Tampa, Fl. October 2020 makes it 2 years that we have used the unit. It has been a constant repair unit from the week we took delivery. The first few months were minor problems that the dealer took care of except they could never get the tank sensors to work right. After about 6 months the major stuff started to happen: Awning motor, fireplace, dishwasher, refrigerator, clothes washer, inverter, microwave and a number of little items that I fixed myself and some that still need to be fixed ( bathroom fan, waterless trap for shower drain not closing up ). Fortunately for us, we purchased the 5 year extended policy and they have been spot on with repairs. The basic coach is okay - the problems are mostly the appliances (Chinese). I want to believe we may a have gotten a lemon but talking to other RVers, we may just be experiencing the usual RV life. I think the RV industry needs to work on building reliable quality units in exchange for what you have to pay today - also some customer service satisfaction would go a long way to their PR.

We bought the 2019 Cedar Creek Hathaway new from Lazy Days in Tampa in October of 2018 and we are full-timers. The quality of construction, livability, amenities and towing are everything you could ask for. The disappointment in this experience has been the number of problems we have had with all the accessories and difficulty in reaching somebody in the warranty dept. at Forrest River. Fortunately for us we had purchased the USA Travel Care 5 year warranty and they have been right on. A list of problems: awning motor froze, dishwasher stopped working, door latch on clothes washer broke, the left refrigerator door's swing latch stopped latching, the fireplace heater burnt out, the microwave burnt out - these problems occurred within the first year. I understand there are usually problems with new units but isn't this a little much? There was a punch list of minor things after our walk thru but Lazy Days took care of those. Show less

Excellent trailer. We researched several brands before deciding on Cedar Creek. LOVE the double vanity in the bathroom. Is the best pulling 5th wheel I've ever owned.The only complaint is lack of a pantry like the very similar cedar creek silverback. We put some shelves in the entry cabinet and it works great. LOTS of storage! Had one warranty issue and they were easy to deal with. Show less
