Good looking trailer, very clean like new Excellent floorplan for a couple or family, lots of storage and have owned for 2 years and everything is working just fine. A 16' awning, a large pass through storage and a large slide out sound in your next trailer?? You will also appreciate the Sure-Step entry steps to safety get inside to the rear kitchen layout with a skylight above offering additional natural lighting, a walk-in pantry with shelves, and a booth dinette to eat at.? Someone might even like to use the sleeper sofa to relax on after a big meal.? You will love the oversize panoramic windows in the slide out , the full bathroom to get ready in each day, and the front private bedroom including a? walk-around queen bed , wardrobes and overhead cabinets

We purchased used, but it seemed the previous owner only used once and did very little in it. We left on January 3rd and it is now February 12. Here are the facts: - Pulls fine with Toyota 4Runner and stabilizer bars. - comes with nice upgraded dump valves - Black tank rinse connection makes it very easy to keep black tank clean, but location directly above shore power connection needs to be moved. - rear bumper would work for sewer hose if you don’t put a bike rack on it. We did, and the bike rack pinched the bumper just a hair and the hose would not come out until the rack was removed. - lights inside and out are great - heater keeps the place perfectly - a/c works great, a little loud, but you shortly get use to it. - Murphy bed is a wonderful space saving idea. Mattress is subpar, but I’m picky on that sort of thing. I plan to replace with a purple. - Refrigerator/freezer is large and works well. - Ourdoor storage is adequate, could always use more. - Battery doesn’t provide enough power to boondock one night, I added a second battery and now no issues. - Stairs are a great upgrade - Awning works well, just don’t leave up when it’s windy or when you leave or turn in. - Oven/stove wells fine. Oven is sometime hard to light, but it does and no issues. - Large shower is nice - Toilet is adequate- no issues, just use lots of water. - Curtains block most heat and most light. - The entrance door could use a shade for late risers Over all very pleased with this little unit. It is doing everything we need and we are really happy with our purchase.

Have had this trailer a year now, and camped 9 times. We really love the floor plan, very open living space in the rear. Ours has the table and 4 chairs, not a booth. Super kitchen, and the fridge/freezer is huge for this size trailer. I like the 12 volt fridge too, gets cold so quick! We haven't missed not having the propane option for the fridge. I can't complain about the quality for the price, paid around 26k. For a 34' trailer with 2 slides and a super floor plan, we feel we got a great deal. Took it on some decent road trips (11 hours, 6.5 hours twice) and it tows really easy. I'm pulling it with a Silverado 1500 too, not a 2500. (my max capacity is 9600 lbs) I've read a few reviews on Vibe's and not many good ones. Everything on ours is solid...nothing falling off or apart, drawers all work well, electronics all function as they should, slides and awnings do what they're supposed to, really NO problems in our first year. We're looking forward to many more with this trailer, and would recommend this model to anyone looking for a good size, fairly light weight, comfortable travel trailer. (Haven't had to use any Factory Warranty or Support, but they made me rate it anyway...so I went with a 4 star)

I loved the floor plan and thats why I bought it. It maximizes the usable space very well. The Build Quality and materials are absolute crap. I owned a Jayco Class C and sold it to buy this and its a night and day quality comparison. Unless you want to do extra work because you love the layout don't buy a Forest River. I've had it 3 weeks and already had to rebuild the seat for the table (cheap wood with screws pulling out), The back support for the table just pulled out the screws today (I am not a large person)..... which is why I'm writing this review. I get to rebuild that next..... Neither the inside speakers or most of the cupboard doors were not installed straight. I wish I would have taken the time to notice these details before I bought it. Every screw I've seen on this thing is not straight and looks like they built it on some kind of reality Trailer speed build show. Its super disappointing to spend 20k+ on a new trailer and have to spend my time rebuilding it. Not sure whats going on at that factory, but they should be ashamed.
