We purchased our 2022 Sabre 37FBT from Camping World in Indianapolis. The purchase was painful enough, that's a whole other review. Short version, don't waste your time. They don't want to work with you unless you have an unlimited budget and know exactly what you want when you get there. But that's a good starting point. We had to fight to get them to even show us several Fifth Wheels that they had on the lot. We ended up walking around by ourselves to look. When we did settle on this one (after another battle that included their corporate office), we asked them to have it open and ready for us to inspect since it's a 4.5 hour drive from where we live. When we get there, no power, not open, no way to inspect it and they didn't care enough to even try to move it for us to inspect it. We did the paperwork and would come back the following weekend to pick it up. When we got back it was there and open, so we inspected it. The items we were able to find from our initial inspection we not repaired. We also found several more items and made a list with pictures. We were told we needed to give all of that to our representative and the parts would be ordered. We requested they be sent to Bowling Green as that was the closest dealership to us. That didn't happen. We called multiple times to see when the parts would be shipped and that the awning had pulled out of the outer wall the first time we opened it. We haven't been able to use the awning at all and we've this camper for almost a year. Other parts that were ordered were supposedly hand delivered to the Bowling Green store. Nobody bothered telling us that this happened. We had to call constantly. Once they said they had everything, we made the appointment for the repairs. Before I took it in, I made sure they had what was needed to repair everything. They did not, so I cancelled the appointment. After talking to the Bowling Green service department, they stated they weren't able to get the Indianapolis store to call them back to go over what was sent, what was ordered, etc. If these are the same company, they should be able to look up owner's info since supposedly we can take our camper to any Camping World anywhere. This has gone on for so long, that I went to Indianapolis and got copies of all the paperwork and delivered it to the Bowling Green service department. Now, several more months have gone by and they are supposedly verifying what was ordered, what was delivered, and ordering other parts since now, the wall in the bedroom is separating, the trim in several spots has fallen off, I've had to fully crimp over 10 different PEX connections due to leaks, and this is combined with the awning issue, the microwave issue, the water heater door issue, the recall on the LP system, cabinet door issues, the shower doors leaking issue... Now for the camper itself. It's supposed to be 4 season usable. Nope. The heater can't keep up when it's cold. There is no insulation in this thing. The floors are freezing and the heater has to be augmented by the fireplace and an additional heater. The belly isn't heated well and the water lines will freeze unless an additional heater is put in the basement to keep it above freezing. There are no outlets in the this thing and the all of the ones that are present on one breaker. That makes no sense. It has the main landing legs and two additional automatic jacks. That's it. It's shaky and wobbly. I've added two additional sets of scissor jacks to make it better. The half bath has two lights in the ceiling, but no light switch. They have to be turned on by the buttons on the lights. Perfect for little ones who use it in the middle of the night. So far, all of the faucets have leaked and had to be tightened or lines replaced. The storage area doors are cheap don't shut completely unless you turn the latches and lock them. Instead of just putting on two latches, they chose one latch and the lock as the best method to close the doors completely. I will say that it has lots of storage outside. That is one bright spot. It also came with the solar system to keep the battery charged. Not sure how long it lasts or anything, but that was a bonus. Compared to our 2013 Sabre fifth wheel, this on is a step down. We had a 30', that was better built, more insulated, plenty of cabinets and storage. This one is 42', with less storage, less outlets, less insulation, and on and on. I would look at other brands before buying another Sabre. It's difficult since there are only a few companies building RVs. This is our 3rd Forest River. The second was a 2021 Brookstone that had to go back due to being a lemon that caused us to have to buying a 2022. So coupled with the two crappy Forest River units we've had the last two years and terrible experience with Camping World in Indianapolis and Bowling Green, I am only giving this a one star. I would give it less if allowed.
