Forest River CEDAR CREEK CHAMPAGNE 38EFK 38EFK reviews

Had the 5th wheel for less than a year with very little use. One of the slide floors starting to falling out. All the rivets were popped, the wood was exposed and delaminating, hanging down about 1.5”. Trying to get Forrest River to do any warranty work was a joke to say the least. Like a dumba$$, we paid for an extended warranty. After several months, the extended warranty covered most of the cost, but it was awful trying to work with them. I will never buy a Forrest River product again. Show less

BUYER BEWARE / We have been fighting with Forest River to correct the LIFE SAFETY CONCERNS, but the back peddling has become too much to bear. We just opened up a BBB complaint and that is when I found out that the dealership (ALL OF THEM BY THE WAY) are required to provide the consumer with the Attorney General LEMON LAW Recreational Vehicle Packet at time of acquisition. If you're a betting person, bet on me because it was NOT in our closing documents. This models front door was cut improper and the occupants are either stuck inside, what could potentially be our coffin if a fire breaks out or we are simply locked out; this is every single day. We have 4 Mobile RV Repairmen (and all of them placed it in writing) who have stated that Forest River needs to get a certified factory technician out ASAP, but again no one seems to care. If the door is stuck closed, throwing my shoulder into is going to take me down the flight of stairs. If I am outside, yanking the door so hard; that it will eventually cause a free fall accident. The kitchen vent pipe (A VENT PIPE FOLKS) was never hooked up, Living Room TV mount falling off the wall (55in HEAVY TV), 3 compartment doors ALL cut to wrong size, so they do not latch correctly and/or rainfall enters, none of the gauges are labeled correctly nor do they work for that matter, hydraulic defect on large wall, opened awning on slide-out wall for the first time and it came crashing down, nearly smashing all of the wall windows (my RingCamera caught that footage), which merely seals solidifies our position that this coach is a LEMON and a piece of JUNK. Honestly I could go on and on and on, it's one thing after another. Brand new residential refrigerator doors won't close correctly, water dispenser doesn't work now, the dryer with the brand new SPLENDID unit not drying clothes and just so many curb appeal blunders that a good sunny (and non-rushed) day would have been caught, by everyone!!! I will be uploading my video clip to YouTube, along with my Forest River Cedar Creek Champagne 38EKS Review that will include loads of photos!! Shame on Forest River for NOT expecting more out of your build team. DO NOT PURCHASE FOREST RIVER PRODUCTS or PURCHASE FROM GIANT RECREATION WORLD of Winter Park, Florida. Show less

EXACT same problem as Denny from Arizona. The kitchen slide has a major delamination problem on a slide and the bottom of the slide is hanging down below the frame at least 1.5". Our trailer has been sitting at the RV repair shop since Aug 1 and the slide is still not fixed! I reported the problem within the warranty time frame and have done nothing but go back and forth with Forest River. I also paid over $3000.00 for an extended warranty. Also, a welded bracket broke off right next the wheel as we were driving. We feel VERY FORTUNATE that our tire was not damaged!! We are EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! HORRIBLE QUALITY! BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!

Unit is less than 2 years old, absolutely love this rig until 2 weeks ago when I discovered that the floors on the bottom of the slide outs are all delaminating and coming apart. Factory declined to warranty, now dealing with our dealer. NO LONGER FEEL WE COULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE Show less
