I wish I could give Forest River a big fat ZERO but I can't. They don't deserve even one star, Folks, my experience has been horrible with Forest River and Blue Compass RV who sold the Class C motorhome to me as well as GMC who manufactured the chassis and the engine. When I say horrible, I mean fraud, Breach of Warranty, concealed rust, safety hazards I reported to the NHTSA and there were recalls as a result, leaking propane, faulty LP detector, electrical issues, leaking generator, fuel line leaks, awning not opening or closing, bugs everywhere inside my RV, leaking roof, etc, This is really the most disturbing issue. I bought it brand new. I have paid over $40,000 along with attorney's fees, expert fees and I have a HUGE amount of monetary damages, too and punitive damages to add to that. All of what I just listed, I have only put 167 miles on my new 2025 Forest River Sunseeker. That's right. Let's hope you never have to pay $40,000 for 167 miles. I continue having to pay payments and insurance due to Forest River not refunding me for the lemon they created just for me, I have had dealings with the attorney for Forest River and Mr. Kevin Stratton from Forest River, and with all these problems, during the first few months, nothing has been fixed and they REFUSE to take responsibility. The attorney from Forest River even made light of us sleeping in a motorhome that was leaking propane with no LP detector working. He said that since the propane was venting and leaking to the outside that we were not in any danger. Last I heard, electricity and gas ovens and leaking propane and leaking fuel lines don't mix well. I have had it towed with a wrecker twice now and Kevin Stratton wanted me to tow it again on my dime so they could look at the problems after it has sat over 120 in the shop at Blue Compass. The Forest River Sunseeker has spent over 120 days in the shop and it won't even start. That is right!! It won't start. It is not a battery issue. It leaks noxious fluids all over my driveway and it won't even start. I am afraid that my home might blow up with it sitting and leaking fuel all over my driveway. Almost two years since 5/31/24 I have only been able to use it for 167 miles and yet Forest River denies that they made a lemon. They want to keep my money so they can make one off these RVs for you! I wish my nightmare was over but it is not. Kevin Stratton and the attorney for Forest River are unscrupulous. They won't budge. They point their finger at Blue Compass RV but they manufactured the motorhome. They point their finger at me for not wanting to wait another 120 days for another dealer to try their hand at fixing it. The Lemon Law is of 30 days of re[aor time in Missouri. Blue Compass RV and Forest River and GMC have had ample time to fix it but every issue still remains. Somehow when my motorhome was in the shop at Blue Compass, someone enjoyed putting 284 miles on it without my knowledge or permission. I can go on and on and on. My dreams of traveling the USA have turned into to a real life nightmare. GMC manufactured the chassis and I purchased two extended warranties for my motorhome, very expensive ones. GMC has refused to service my motorhome at every single place I have called. The only reason it was serviced once at a Chevrolet dealer is because they did it as a favor for Forest River. I wish I could have spared myself this misery, Just when I thought I was going to finally see the USA, I sit in my home and wait to be reimbursed for this huge box of evidence leaking all over my driveway that won't even start. I dream of having avoided this Forest River, Blue Compass RV and GMC Chevrolet nightmare. Fraud, Breach of Warranty, concealment of rust, serious and dangerous defects, too. Show less

I purchase in 2020. Right away it had a knock in slide on the 600 mile trip home. Dealer said best to take to factory to resolve. Factory trip was worth it they fixed it. Hydraulic hose cut due to hose routed incorrectly. Hydraulic motor failed A cheap China product. Tankless water heater leaked because of a faulty O-Rings. Switchover box failed. Fake leather bench and sofa are flaking. 18k and just my wife and I. Wallpaper coming loose. If you want a fixer upper get a Thor! Oh just remembered had to replace water vavle system. Show less

Overall this is a top of the line RV for the price you will pay. Things like real wood blinds, central vacuum system, very large 4 door refrigerator and very large bathroom shower design with added makeup sink and lighting in the bedroom are just some of the amenities. Plus a giant rear full mirror closet across the back This unit drives like a dream cloud down the road, with tons of power from the 400hp Cummins. and is extremely stable in cross winds. This is our 5th RV so I feel I have a good reputation for reviewing a Motor Coach or RV unit Which leads me to it's only slightly dis-like for me. I would have wanted a better design for the cup holders and some of the areas for the switches could have been better. Minor in the bigger picture of everything else it has going for itself. Self leveling, outdoor fridge freezer, tons of storage, awnings everywhere really make this an excellent outdoor experience. To top that off the roof is an entire Solar Grid System with 11 batteries below. This along with a 7kw diesel generator can keep you off the beaten path for a long time. If not for wanting to go in a new directions in our traveling, I would never sell this rig. Show less

Our Estrada is on a Chevy frame, it rides drives and handles terribly. The box is cheap and absolutely no quality control. Had they let us test drive it on the highway we wouldn’t have bought it. Huge 80 k mistake. If a mini van passes us it throws the unit quite a few inches, if a semi passes us, it’s quite an experience if you don’t see it coming! No suspension and wouldn’t consider towing any. Anything above 55 mph and it’s shaking. The outside noise is so bad that I put white duct tape on the cab doors so we have to use the camper door. Entire cab area is subpar and less than generic. Show less

After a few factory adjustments of a slide out and roof mounted accessory seals, our coach has performed great. The F550 has plenty of power to make driving a pleasure, even while towing and the ride is comfortable. Plenty of space for the 2 of us. Did build a platform in front of shower and commode as the floor height wasn’t quite right. Also, the front of the rig sits 4” low when on level ground so it requires pads under the tires when level to keep them from coming off the ground. Show less

We had a Winnebago View for several years but switched to a 2025 Entegra Qwest SE 24R due to its warranty and affordability. We are very pleased with it except for one thing. The gray tank is so small we are constantly dumping every couple of days when we stay at RV parks. And when we stay at state parks with no sewer connections you have to unhook and drive the RV to a dump station which is a Royal PIA. Here’s a quick fix for future models. Most people don’t boondock and yet most RV are designed to accommodate boondocking. Stop making the fresh water tank larger than the grey water tank! I travel with many rv groups and almost none of my friends ever boondock. But we do stay in state and national parks all the time. Most of us never even use our fresh water tanks. I’d be afraid to use it thinking it might have tons of bacteria in there since it’s never used. So the fresh water tank takes up way more room and it not being used. Please start designing your RVs for the way people use them and stop catering to the small minority of people who boondock. Show less

Would I buy it again? Mixed, but lean towards no! I’ve owned a Winnebago Travato since July 2023. Overall, it’s been a good van in terms of layout and concept, but ownership has come with more friction than I expected—especially once the warranty period ended. WHAT'S GOOD! The layout is excellent. It’s one of the best-designed van interiors out there, and the lithium battery system in place of a generator is a big win. Quiet, efficient, and well-suited for how many people actually use these vans. When things work, the Travato is comfortable, functional, and easy to live with. Early ownership experience: The first year to year-and-a-half involved several issues, which is fairly typical for RVs. Warranty work was handled by NIRV in Las Vegas and, to their credit, they typically did a solid job addressing problems that came up. That said, it was still a fair amount of downtime and coordination during what should be the “honeymoon” period. Manufacturer support (the real issue): Winnebago’s responsiveness has been very slow, and once the warranty expired, support became almost non-existent. Parts availability and clear guidance are a real problem. Requests often go unanswered or lead nowhere, and there’s very little ownership support once you’re out of warranty. Chassis / RAM dealer warning: Be aware that many RAM dealers are reluctant to perform warranty work on the vehicle side. Several dealers consider the van “altered” once Winnebago has done their conversion, which can lead to denied or delayed service even for legitimate chassis-related issues. This can be frustrating and time-consuming. **Important warning about windows / parts support: One major concern prospective buyers should know about: a factory-installed side window failed on my van after about three years. I discovered that both Winnebago and the window manufacturer no longer supply replacement parts for that window. The only manufacturer-supported solution is a full window replacement, which is extremely expensive—even though the window itself is otherwise fine and only small components failed. There is no clear interim safety guidance and no reasonable repair path using original parts. This is a serious planning and support failure, and something buyers should factor in, especially given the cost of the vehicle. Bottom line... the Travato is a well-designed van with a great layout and modern electrical system, but ownership requires patience and a tolerance for poor post-warranty support. If you’re comfortable handling issues yourself, navigating parts shortages, and advocating hard for service, it can still be a good rig. If you expect strong manufacturer backing long-term, be cautious and go in with eyes open. Show less

We have thoroughly enjoyed this RV and the lifestyle it provides. With four slide outs and two air conditioner units, it is prepared for any life experiences you may have for it. Featuring bunkbeds, it is uniquely suited for a large family or can double as extra closet space when not needed for the kids. It has been meticously maintained, with yearly visits to Tiffin headquarters in Red Bay Alabama. New upholstery throughout, with steel wheels and new tires. From sea to shining sea, this is the RV!

You would think that for the price paid you would get quality interior. The couch is fake leather which in all units, PEALS!! Unreal to have such cheap furniture that doesn't hold up. Will for sure NEVER buy Thor again. The cabinets are cheap as well, c'mon - surely for what we have to pay you can do better. Show less
