The 39RKFB gives us all the living space we need. We like that it has separation from the kitchen and living areas. Still very conversational but there is separation.

The 39RKFB gives us all the living space we need. We like that it has separation from the kitchen and living areas. Still very conversational but there is separation. Ours was built in 2018, so before covid and the supply shortages. As for the warranty, longer is better. I think for the price point a 2-year warranty would be nice. However, most things that break are components and not a fault of Riverstone.

Loved the livibility! It feels like a home not a "nice camper". Full residential refrigerator and appliances. It could use some additional storage. The workmanship is good. It's beautiful inside and out. The air ride is beautiful and it pulls/brakes well. The dealer helped quickly when we had any concerns. This is the coach for you if you're a full-timer, a snow bird or are ready to travel!

2019 Forest River, Riverstone 39RKFB. Definitely the best 5th wheel to go full time in. The 2019 is the best year though for sure, After years of experience we've learned that Forest River is one of the much better brands but the 2019 seems to have the best craftsmanship and solid material. We bought one and have lived in it for a long time and we don't plan on that changing anytime soon. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. We live in WA state and it rains and storms constantly so we needed something built well and durable. The only thing is that it is pretty heavy so we had to upgrade the truck but it's been worth it. We've done full time living with a few other rigs but this one is the best. It's a solid vehicle and after 2 years of living in it full time we've never had anything break or stop working. The prices are of course a bit high usually but you get what you pay for. I know of only one other person that owns the same year and model and they've had the same experience.

I'm not sure how this rating system works but based on the poor workmanship/craftmanship that they pushed in the video the supposedly went into this unit it, the score should ne in the negatives... We did a factory order of our Full-Time Living Riverstone mid June 2018, a build that we were told 6-8 weeks, we were getting close to cancelling around week 12 but hung in. During week 15 we get a call from dealer our unit was just picked up at factory on it way. 2 days later get a call saying the driver damaged the unit and took it back to factory. So we cancelled. Later that day we got a call from the sales rep for this area, begging us to wait 2 more weeks for our unit to be fixed and it would be here. 3 days later dealer calls says our unit is now there!!! Well unfortunately we didn't cancel which we now regret, as it went totally down hill from there. Our list in the first 6 months was over 50 items that had issues. Most I fixed as we live full-time in the unit so we couldn't wait for the dealer every time something went wrong. From the cheap bracket holding the fridge in place, to the crappy way they installed the gas props for the large and heavy comp doors that the screws pulled out within the first few weeks (of which one fell on my wife wgile putting something in basement), to the poor workmanship on the wood step treads which came loose, one while I was coming down which sent me to the floor twisting my ankle, to the biggest on-going issue still of the hydraulic system that keeps loosing pressure, not leaking fluid, but it leaks back into the tank. They replaced several thousand dollars worth of parts but it still never fixed it. now out of warranty they don't give a crap, even thought this has been the same issue since we purchased it.... Now we have even a bigger issue with this thing they call "High End 5th Wheel" of which isn't the fault of the manufacture, or maybe they should shoulder some of the responsibility. We found out the total length of this trailer is illegal in Canada. We had tried to trade it away but were told by the dealer we were looking at trading with that the trailer was illegal in Canada. Our trailer measured 42'11" and agarding the laws in Canada the max length allowed on Canadian Roads is 41', of which the MVA (Motor Vehicle Association) says it will not change... So for now we are stuck, checking into any legal action we may or may not have against the dealer (for importing) and the Government of Canada for allowing the this illegal length trailer to be imported into Canada.. Like I said for now we are stuck and when I park I use the jacks to lift and than set it on cement blocks to block it. We continue to fight with Lippert to get it fixed and also continue to fixing and finding more items that were poorly built on this thing..

When we told them about it they would not stand behind it and then we had a flat before we had 5000 miles on it and the tire was defected from the begining and they would't sta d behind it either. Would never buy another Forest River RV. And never ever buy anything from JMat RV in Pacola OK.
