My wife and I purchased the trailer to live in full time while our new home was being built. We spent 6 months full time living trailer has a rear kitchen which we really like living area in the middle and bathroom and bedroom are up front, unit has plenty of room there is a 50" tv above the fireplace and a 32" in the bedroom. Also the outdoor kitchen and grill hook up is wonderful for entertaining . Only selling do to health conditions and if I had to purchase another unit I would buy the same.

Purchased this unit in 2020 as a 2021 model. First issue when we picked up the unit the camper was a dirty mess. Screws missing putty on staples looked like someone put it on with a magic marker. The fireplace that we ordered was not there. Dealer did rectify that. Floor was covered in greases and glue. The entry door didn't fit in the jam because the jam wasn't installed properly. They had to loosen the mounting and hammer it straight before we could close the door to tow it. The first trip we discovered the shower pan has no support under it very poor-quality control. The usb ports all blew out because of faulty wiring. Forget about that twelve volt refrigerator your better off with a cooler and ice. We know we weren't buying a Rolls Royce but we also weren't expecting a Ugo. I have some of the best towing equipment you can buy 'this is the worst trailer I have ever pulled. My advice don't just walk away run away very fast don't look back. Don't be like us spend a few bucks more and buy something with a lot more quality.

We were pleasantly surprised at the quality, especially after hearing so many horror stories from almost all of the manufacturers these days. Our shakedown trip was an approximately 1200 mile trip from Ohio to South Florida which occurred without a hitch (pardon the pun). The only issue we had so far, was that the cover for the awning motor fell off. I called our dealer and let them know that I was willing to install it myself. They requested a photo and within a week I had the part. I am aware that this is not the highest end model FR makes but it suits us well. I was pleasantly surprised. Great floor plan design and easier to tow than expected with a 1/2 ton. I believe most people are not willing to write a review unless its negative, that is probably why my expectations may have been lower. However, it is always a good idea to offer positive reviews as long as it is honest.

Unit pulls well and looks good. Dealer sent me on the road without the brakes adjusted properly. They said that they would adjust as I went, which was not true. I manually adjusted them after 800 miles to get them to apply properly. Lowest screws on both fender flares pulled right out of the aluminum skirt as I travelled on the interstate. Quick fix of putting a small wood block behind the skirt to help hold the screws in. No interior concerns as everything works as it should. Faucets handles turn the opposite of normal, but work just fine. Disappointed with the rear view camera, and have decided to not use it. Factory did leave sawdust and such everywhere under cabinets. A few moments with a shop-vac took care of that, but it would be nice if they delivered a trailer that is nice and clean. 12v fridge works well, a/c and water heater work well, heat and fireplace work well, ice-maker works well, electric jacks work well. The slide-out works well. Will probably add the other 50 watt solar panel to make a total of 100 watts. Even then, I'm not sure 100 watts would help you get through a long weekend. Would like to see the "pantry" glass door on the pantry beside the fridge instead of where you walk in, but that's minor. The pantry by the entry door is more like a "coat closet" in feel than a "pantry". Nice to have that storage, however. I can see the seams in the plywood through the roof membrane, but can see that on other trailers as well. As usual, the mattress is hard, but I have added a topper to give it some comfort. I would like to see a better factory warranty; the one with this trailer is a little short and weak. Over all, I like this trailer and set up.

Bought this unit brand new from a dealership in Ohio. It was filthy inside when I picked it up, wood shavings and bits of styrofoam everywhere as well as greasy hand prints on the AC unit and walls. Had several water connections leaking. The worst was the city water connection which leaked A LOT of water inside the trailer and as a result the flooring in the bedroom is coming loose and I'm pretty certain the walls in the bedroom are also damaged and will soon begin to deteriorate . The shower pan has no support under it, so you WILL have a leaking shower drain. They claim the underside of the unit is "completely enclosed", well it is...with cardboard. Pull this unit several hundred miles in the rain and see how that works out. The entrance door would not latch because the screws were stripped out, so I had to pull it 1800 miles from the dealer back to Arizona with a door that would not stay shut. Extremely poor quality and workmanship.

WHATEVER you do, don't buy this garbage. I bought one in January, and its cheaply made. In transit from the dealership, the plastic piece to slide the bathroom/bedroom broke off first day. Then the microwave fuse blew after a month, not being used everyday. Then the plumbing under the sink leaks, and under the fridge in the main living area, leaks and puddles. It has damaged the wood, in all places that it leaked. I contacted the company about the fuse and plastic piece, was told that they might be able to ship the parts so I can repair myself, and over a month later, nothing. Overall the camper looks nice, but pretty much anything that can go wrong will go wrong. When I call the dealership, they tell me to call the maker, when I call the maker they tell me to call a dealership. When I ask about brining it in for repairs, they said they would have to keep it a week to diagnosis it. That would be fine if it was used for weekend camping. I live in mine since I travel often for my job. I would not recommend this company or their products at all.

Looks very nice, have lived in it for 2 months, looks are deceiving! First- the salesmen transported the trailer to me, the plastic slider came off the door for bed to bath. Called the salesmen, instead of driving 2 hours to get a $10 part and no idea if they even had it in stock, contacted the maker. Said they would try to send one out, 1 month later nothing. Then after 1 month microwave went out which wasn’t used more then a few days a week, the fuse blew, won’t replace call the sales people. Who in turn said call the maker. Then the refrigerator started leaking all over the floor. The shower is unsupported, and too many problems to recommend for anyone to buy.

So I've lived in this trailer for about a month now. I literally drove it of the lot went 100 yards and parked it. So far anything that has to deal with water has leaked. First it was the water heater fittings that were loose and it was a pain in the ass to get to because the cabinet it is in is screwed shut and the screws were stripped out. Then it was the shower and it leaks terribly around the base. Took it back and they caulked around bottom of shower. That lasted for a day and it's back to leaking. Now the fittings were the city water connection comes in is leaking. Out of the 5 fittings 4 are leaking.Also this thing sweats like nobody's business. I open vents when cooking even windows. Hell even the the front wall where the mattress is sweats. I keep the heat set on 60. I heard good things about Forest River but now I'm starting to wonder what kind of product they turn out when they can't even hand tighten water connections. Sat down in one of the kitchen chairs on the first day and it dumped me in the floor because they forgot to install the pins in the front legs and they folded up. REALLY!!! JUST PREFAB AS QUICK AS WE CAN. YOU WOULD ALSO THINK THE DEALER WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE LEAKS IN THE UNIT PRIOR TO SELLING IT.
