2019 Forest River Surveyor Travel Trailer reviews

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

I picked this trailer because I liked the floor plan. I like the fireplace. The upgraded mattress is comfortable. That’s about it. Dislikes are numerous. No kitchen storage. Why are the kitchen drawers so short? Nothing fits. The outlet in the kitchen is installed crooked. They messed up the screw holes on the blinds. Just drilled new ones. Did nothing to cover old ones. The cover on the hot water heater is so cheap the screws don’t hold anymore. The shower drain broke because it’s weak. The air conditioners broke exactly one year after we bought it, the warranty was over. The bathroom door has never worked right. They must have driven it from factory to dealer open and banging around. They dropped screws and dirt between the bathroom cabinet and shower. Too narrow to really clean it out. The shower head is not a good one. Just so cheap. The seal on one slide out has had to be taped to stay in place. The outside fridge takes 24 hours to start cooling down. There are many other issues. I will not buy another Forrest river product. It’s just cheap junk that I paid a ton of money for. Show less

Great floorplan and outdoor kitchen. Shower drain and outdoor kitchen drain are broken and have warranty recalls. Outdoor kitchen range had faulty pressure valve. Sitting slide seals leaked because factory install wrong size seals (took 4 repairs to fix). Wheels are 6-lug but it came with a 5-lug spare. Tires on the 2019 were dated 012018 and all blew out on our 2021 road trip. The left Lippert axle didn't have the locking cotter pin installed and the entire wheel and brake drum fell off in our 2022 trip (over $2,000 repair cost). No pipe thread on plumbing so it all leaked. Plastic faucets leaked after one year and had to be replaced. Bottom line? GREAT design and total shit quality. Show less

We purchased this RV as a hold over in July of 2020. We had researched dozens of RVs and kept coming back to this model, we loved the floor plan and pretty much everything about it, it had everything we were looking for. We used the RV once. The first time I took a shower the bathroom flooded. We finished our trip and returned it to the dealer. Turns out the drain was not hooked up at the factory so all of the water ran out onto the floor and through the floor to the insulation underneath the camper. The trim on the shower door was also not put on at the factory. These 2 issues have been taken care of by the dealer. During our first use of the RV the carpet under the dinette ripped, the binding on the end of the carpet separated from the carpet and the carpet came apart. Another camping trip, another return trip to the dealer. The dealer has had our RV for over 3 months and has been going back and forth with the manufacturer about replacing the carpet. Forest River refuses to replace the carpet, they want it to be repaired. The dealer has told Forest River that the carpet can not be repaired, it has to be replaced but they refuse to replace the carpet. I contacted the manufacturer and spoke with a lady named Megan who politely told me to pound sand. Megan told me that they have repaired many carpets and not had any other issues. I told Megan that the dealer has not had any luck with repairing carpets and requested it be replaced, they refuse to have it replaced. I asked Megan why does Forest River continue to use sub par carpet in their RVs if they have had to have so many repaired?? Megan changed her mind and told me that they had only repaired 2. I asked for some type of guarantee that if the carpet was repaired that I would not have to bring it back, I was told they would not guarantee the repair. So basically I have used this camper twice and brought it back to the dealer for repairs 3 times. Did I mention the Surveyor logo on the side was put on crooked at the factory?? Show less
