Model: 2024 Forest River Salem Cruise-Lite 28VBXL
Pros:
Family‑friendly floorplan with bunkhouse and king bed
Good storage and outdoor kitchen setup
Manageable towing weight
Cons:
Slide‑out malfunctions (multiple failures)
Bed collapse and soft spots in flooring
Microbial contamination concerns
Six extended repair shop visits, leaving us with less than 15 days of use in over a year
Warranty and Forest River communication dismissive and misleading
Bottom line: The layout is appealing, but the execution has been a major disappointment. Reliability issues and lack of accountability have overshadowed the positives. We cannot recommend this model based on our experience.

The only good thing about this trailer is the layout/floorplan. All the used material is flimsy and just slapped together. We bought this trailer brand new. The trim started shaking loose immediately, no wonder when you see that everything is randomly stapled. The table was mounted crookedly, it was clearly just screwed in without measuring. After 6 months the shower started leaking because the support board just cracked (it's just some plywood on 4 legs), and the drain pipe was rubbing against the side of the board (again they didn't even measure it). Two weeks later the black water tank started leaking. The heating just turns off after a while before reaching the desired temparature. Now we get fumes from the water heater inside the bunk house, the CO/propane alarm goes off, so we can't use the water heater nor the toilet anymore. Both the Lazy Days dealership and Forest River keep sending us back and forth. We will never buy anything of them anymore.
