2019 Forest River reviews

We started out with the Georgetown because it is roomy and we were going to be full time rv’ers. We headed out west and saw so many wonderful things my husband did all the driving plus we towed our Jeep with the Blue ox. We left I in May of 2021 and went as far as Montana when my husband took ill around July, drove back to Charlotte to our doctor they found a baseball size tumor on left side of his Brain so driving is now out and we need to sell.

We purchased our 2019 Sandpiper 379FLOK in August of 2018. At first we loved the floor plan and the hydraulic leveling system. When the dealer tried to show how the hydraulic system worked, it overloaded and threw the breaker. When we picked it up in August of 2018 we only had a few items that needed attended. The doors on the bathroom and pantry were already peeling the edges and the slide room floors on the outside showed scrapes where the rollers were bringing them in and out, these were noted on the sales papers and we gave the dealer 1 week to repair. Nothing had been done when we took possession of the unit. We packed it up and started out for Texas from Bartow Florida. That evening, first travel day, the landing legs would not extend and we could not get it off the tow vehicle. That caused a 5 day stay in Tallahassee, FL while their trained staff of mechanics tried to figure it out. We arrived in Texas 9 days after starting out. Setting up we noticed the bedroom slide wouldn't come out all the way to seal the room. 10 days later, the heater stopped working and the closest Camping World was over 70 miles away. Called them for mobile repairs, they didn't offer any. Next month the awning went out, coming back in it bent the awning arms because the fabric rolled up crooked on the tube. Then the recliners (2) stopped working, no heat or massage. Then the converter failed, no 12 volt system, no lights or computer to operate the rest of the RV. The toilet water supply valve sprang a leak, the bathroom fan stopped working cause the blade cracked and fell off the spindle. Then the black tank fell out of the frame, causing a bulge in the belly covering. When it leaked out the sides, thats when we knew something was wrong. After getting a couple of people to help remount the black tank inside the frame, we called warranty again, no mobile service available. Then the Fireplace stopped putting out heat, the microwave inside just stopped working. Tried different electrical recepticals, no luck. The thermostat stopped working, no a/c or heat. The outside kitchen faucet would not turn off, causing immediate replacement by us. The front landing legs started leaking down the legs, the bedroom slide cylinder was leaking on the ground. We were adding 3 quarts of fluid to the system every month, it was going somewhere. Now the hot water heater has a weld crack at the combustion chamber and extended warranty wants us to wait till they can send out an inspector in 4-5 days. This was our 4th purchase of 5th wheel RV, most disappointed with Forest River for lack of quality control. Show less

We've enjoyed this RV. It has served us well. We've found that we don't use it as we had anticipated. It is time to move on to different adventures. The RV is comfortable and a perfect size for my wife and I. It is very manueverable with no problem in parking lots, city streets or highways. Show less

We bought this from the factory. We have had problems from the beginning. The bathroom door was messed up. Still is. Dealership did a shoddy job fixing it. They did not hook up the tv antennae at the factory. We have since found out they hooked nothing up to the tv and the dealership only hooked up the antennae. So the cable and satellite hookups don’t work either. It leaks in the rain when it’s closed. Haven’t figured that one out yet. The rubber seal over one slide out has jiggled itself loose. That’s taped in place to keep it there. The shower drain broke after like 4 uses. Things are screwed into the walls crooked. The cover on the water heater is cheap, cheap. Overall I will not buy another forest river product. It’s cheap. Kitchen has very few cupboards. I do like the floor plan. That’s it. Otherwise I wish I’d bought something else. Show less

We have thoroughly enjoyed our Forest River Salem FSX 170SS. The floor plan is very well thought out. I lived in it for the first three months while starting a new job. The air conditioning worked too well, and we noticed leaking from the a/c by the refrigerator. We took it in and they fixed everything. We love the design, easy to pull and space. It has held up since 2019 without any further issues. The only complaint would be to have the a/c operate in a more in between mode than super cold. Other than that, we have made many good memories with this camper. Show less

I used to be an RV Tech back in the 90s I bought this 2019 Forest River Wolfpack 25pack12+ because I love the floor plan but upon receiving it I noticed the slide out had a half inch gap between the floor and the slide out wall I was reimbursed for $500 to repair it myself. But on further inspection I really noticed how cheap the quality was on the paneling for example there was a small piece of tape on the paneling and a few stickers and I peeled them off in the Finish came with them I noticed everywhere there was the same on the paneling the same tape was cracked I contacted Forest River Manufacturing to see about getting the same tape and they told me I had to go through a distributor which they said I could not get it unless I brought it in and they did to work. The build quality is extremely poor for example everywhere they made a cutout they left the cutout and all the sawdust hidden back behind the cabinets they did not clean up their mess making for a great mice nest. Here's another example if you ever mop your floors where your counters are if they get wet they will swell in the Finish will come off very little moisture causes them to swell very poor quality and cabinets overall the trailer looks extremely nice but don't expect it to last for long it looks extremely nice but it's extremely cheap there are there is absolutely no quality put into this trailer at all I guess that's what makes it affordable if you like to throw your money away. I have been spending months making repairs to this trailer and have the stuff I cannot get I have pictures to back everything up if you have questions please contact me bobby bailey1968@gmail.com And I will be glad to share pictures with you for example like the Dometic toilet 300 is most of them are defective they have a leaky flusher valve which causes sewage water to leak back behind the toilet plus the flush valve itself are very poorly designed most of them crack and leak. The door's on them are very poorly designed all they are is plastic on one side styrofoam and fiberglass on the other side absolutely no structure at all. I am pretty sure anybody that owns a Forest River trailer can back me up if they look back behind their cabinets where the water heater is where the furnace is underneath the shower and any place that they made a hole they did not clean up their mess. Good luck on finding Parts you have to go through a dealership and they want to do the work so they can collect the money you're much better off finding a different brand of trailer I would stay away from the Forest River travel trailers as much as possible unless you are filthy rich and have money to throw away. I purchased my trailer at Camping World in Wentzville Missouri I would stay away from anything Camping World they promised that they did a full inspection upon the trailer and lied and charged me for it and they also forced me to purchase Good Sam which will not back up their warranties for example they are conditioner unit went out on my trailer they told me I had to hop on my way back over to Camping World to have them fix it they will not fix it unless you do don't be suckered into purchasing Good Sam they will not back up their work. Like I said I have taken pictures made copies of everything and I'm willing to share it with anybody who's willing to listen so they don't get screwed themselves. Show less

I think it's very well thought about but could squeeze you in a toilet and shower. It's got some good features though like a kitchen and storage was thought of . The relationship of the relaxing part of the trailer was well thought about good job... Show less

I have tryed multiple times to reach out to Camping World in Wentzville Mo and they keep telling me they will call back, But no one does. They contacted my credit union about a trailer I wanted and My credit union told me thay would approve a certain amount . Then I told them I was interested and I needed to know What the total amount was going to be. I was told $36,489.00 .They were supose to get back and no one did even after I made several attemps to reach out to them. I talked with Robert and Jason James and others there, Im very disapointed sofar, when people tell me multiple times they will call back and dont, Make me wonder If they can be trus The next day I went down to Camping World and I understand why they did not contact me it's because they were swamped by customers. I ended up purchasing the camper through them I'm waiting for them to do small repairs on the trailer . Ok I really got screwed. the repair work I was concerned about on the corners of the slide out and other corners were not resealed and they reashured me it would not leak at all and they fully checked it out and every thing was fine. They refused to let me check the roof do to liability reasons. the damage on the slide out on the inside was hidden by new recliners so you could not see the damage. Here is the real kicker, they told me that the trailer was going to cost me 38,995.00 and my payments were only going to be $455.29 a month and did not tell me there was going to be a $42,957.20 Finance Charge. for the lone. total of $81,952.20 for a 2019 wolf pack 25pack12 travel trailer. If I would have known I would have left without it.I strongly beleave I got Really screwed over. People they do not have the customers best intrest in mind. they are willing to hide the damage and be dishonest just to make a sale, Jason James Rv Sales Associate helped Show less

This camper tows like a dream! Can't even tell there is a camper behind you! I love the floor plan. Very open and the kitchen is up front with a nice big window with privacy tint. Rockwood is definitely a quality name. Don't hesitate to purchase! Show less

There is not much good aboit this RV. On our way home the side molding started to rip on brand new trailer. After fighting with forest river finally got that repaired. A little over a year while driving home from camping the belly cover came off all the inside dropped dragging on the ground. Sine then ever single glass cabinet insert came off. A cabinet hinge just came off. After about two years the rubber molding around the dlides came off The interior fake wood moling all is coming away from the wall. I should have done more research. Stay far away from forest river. Show less
