2021 East To West 5th Wheel reviews

East to West customer service met above my expectations. They went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied and happy with their product. This camper is great for a couple who may bring grand children or guests. The king size bed a full size shower is important to someone who is 6’5”. As for the living space. Having a large kitchen, dining table and living room creates great conversations during prepping for meals. Show less

We bought a East to West Tandara 321RL-OK in August of 2021 At Camping World in Katy, Texas. Had problem with leaking water in under storage and inside by couch. I fixed leak in storage. I had to tighten all water fittings. Leak by couch I could not fix. Had problem with A/C not working on low. I took back to Camping world. They could not find anything wrong with A/C or my refrigerator. They told me my refrigerator was stubborn. The fixed the leak by the couch. it was in the shop for 3 months. I get it back and A/C not working on low. I paid 150.00 for an rv tech com come out and fix my A/C. There was a wire not hooked up right . Now my Refrigerator is out, spoiled our food. trim is coming off inside trailer by refrigerator and slide. Front slid is jumping, door came off of sink cabinet, panel came off of fire place, and glass came off of door in bedroom closet. Taking i t back to Camping world on August 02, 2022 for repairs. This East to West trailer is poor quality. Tried trading in for new one, but the value of trailer is 31,500.00 half what I paid for it 11 months agp. Camping World service department is not the best Show less

It actually a 286 RL-OK but it’s not on the list. From a company that says that they stand behind their quality We had really high hopes for this camper. This was my first one and it had really put a sour taste in my mouth. I don’t even want to list the number of things wrong with it because there are so many, but the big ones were a structural screw coming out from the floor breaking the vinyl floor and the outdoor kitchen door being able to open when locked. Who ever does quality control here, clearly there isn’t any. To the added fact that is was in the shop for over 6 months getting it fixed, and since forest river does not extend the warranty during the time the camper is down, it is no longer under warranty. It was in the shop longer than we used it on its first year, go figure. This industry really needs a rude awaking that customers will not settle for crap. If they were only held to the same standards as the automotive dealer industry. Then I’d see why these things are so expensive, but they arnt worth the wood that they are screwed/hacked together with. Having only a 1 year warranty just shows me they don’t even trust their build quality. I’ll most likely be going to a jayco after this camper. I don’t even know how forest river is still afloat because it sounds like all their products are junk. Stay away from east to west, and further more anything by forest river, do your research and look over new campers with a fine tooth comb. Forest river is very guilty of bad quality for a while now with their new campers, but I know they are not the only company that is. Show less

Bought April 2, ‘21 I think it’s priced reasonable, love the interior design. They left adhesive stains all along the top by rain gutters and trim. Poorly inspected at factory. Camping world of New Braunfels Tx didn’t fix it either when prepped for delivery. Outdoor shower port coupler loose, so water filled back corner, soaked all the materials and ran out onto floor inside, now 6 weeks later (after connect was fixed) the floor creeks and sags, apparently damaged plywood under flooring. Right front leveling jack broken first weeklong trip we just took!! Weather strip seals on slide out are loose and slide down to ground while driving! Master closet clothes rod brace stripped screw holes not screwed into any frame just thin paneling. Same panel was falling down, again not attached to any frame. Was stapled. Radio had no power, outside tv would not channel scan. Panels by fender flares, broke frame and not properly reinforced with brackets looks horrible cheep poorly built driving on highway the panels are flopping around! Wires to slide outs and leveling jacks we’re hanging loose and subject to being damaged while traveling. Service tech at Camping World of Lubbock Tx has been very helpful. He said he’s been around RV’s a long time and most of time new ones have problems. Said its very rare for a new leveling jack to break. (Lucky me) To me the RV industry as a whole needs to step up and build better products, double check them before customers trust them on the road. Factories and Dealers. Show less

I have owned this RV for 2 1/2 weeks now and have had nothing but problems. The first day I had it the shower flooded the trailer. The shower door track was never siliconed and water flooded the bathroom and was leaking out of the pantry downstairs. The awning opened one time and now I can't get it open again. Keeps blowing fuses every time you try and open it. There is no radio antenna on the RV which makes the radio useless. Piece of molding fell off the bathroom wall the 3rd day we owned it. Sharp piece of metal on one of the recliners ripped the chair within a few days of owning it. Trailer layout is great but is built like garbage. The rubber seals around the bedroom slide are torn and split open. Black water flush not working. So many problems and was told by the dealer that I have to wait over three weeks for someone to come out and repair it. Overall I love the trailer layout and room, but the quality is poor to say the least. The only reason the driving / towing rating is 3 stars is because I don't tow it, its parked on a seasonal site.
