Forest River SALEM 29VBUDX 29VBUD reviews

Run! Do not buy this brand at all! We loved the floor plan which is why we bought it to begin with but had I read reviews I would have ran. We spent $40,000 on a brand new camper that we have had 0 successful trips in where something wasn’t Broken. To start, NONE of the electric worked. The pocket door has fallen off 6 times, thankfully my husband is a custom home builder and could fix it. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor our very first time using it. Again he fixed that. The belly pans to make the camper a “ 4 seasons camper” all flew off on the highway putting us at risk to cause an accident. We winterized our camper for the first time, and a month later we went inside only to find the faucet sink was completely broken in half! ( HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN?!) the master bedroom crossmember boards for the bed completely broke in half the very first time even laying on the bed, ( I am 120 lbs and my husband is 160 lbs so that should have not happened at all. So on top of the 40,000 we have spent we have spent a ton of time and more money fixing the thing that we can’t even enjoy. It’s a piece a junk. Do not buy this camper. Find another brand that hopefully is put together better than this. Show less

We purchased a 2022 Salem 29vbud 3 days before Thanksgiving of 2021. We have owned the Trailer for 1 month prior to taking it on a 10 day shake down. We are currently on day 4 of our trip and we have come across a number of issues with the trailer, most of which are all a result of poor manufacturing. Our slide does not go in or out properly, one of our outdoor speakers was not hooked up correctly which caused it to blow, out fireplace does not work (this was caught prior to delivery by our dealer), our shower leaks at the seam, and our final straw was this morning we discovered our bed (in the bedroom) has broken. The armature that allows the bed to lift and gain access to the pass-through was secured directly to a knot in the 2x2 they attach the bed to. Of course this allowed a fault in the structure of the bed, and after the 5th use, it broke. We picked a forest river because of the superior quality the brand offered... but we believe that quality has fractured due to the high demand of trailers in 2021. We thought that forest river as a brand would put the quick money grab aside and focus on keeping their popularity as a quality brand intact, clearly we were mistaken. Show less
