In 2006 we purchased our first Wildcat and enjoyed it very much. It was well built and of high quality with good craftsmanship. In 2017 we sold this trailer and decided to buy your 2nd Wildcat which has turned out to be a huge mistake. We started having problems almost immediately and have had ongoing issues to this day. I have made many attempts to work with the factory on repairs with no success. Just to name a few problems we have had multiple parts literally fall off and be lying on the floor when we arrive at our destination including cabinet panels and doors that break in half when you open them. Body side moldings on the exterior that buckle and pull away from the fiberglass, refer door panel that feel off on my toes, a shower that runs water all over the floor because it was never sealed, a water fill tube that leaks every time I fill the water tank and runs water all over the interior to name a few of the problems we have had. As I said I have tried to work with the factory and as recently as last week I was told that I'm now out of warranty and there is nothing they can or will do for me. I will never again buy or recommend a Forest River product.

We custom ordered our trailer through a dealer but with the factory Rep. He did not put the coach into the production line. Took me many many calls to the dealer. Finally 2 months later we got mostly what we ordered but wrong colored flooring. It’s now been in the shop since Nov 5th for minor repairs. I started calling finally and seems FR sent the cargo door decals but “forgot” the actual door! They denied a couple things but I called them directly and they have been approved. My wife did negotiate big $ discount and add on’s From the dealer for all the delays and wrong colored floor. A lot about this coach I like. This is about our 10th coach and 2nd 5th wheel. Probably will not buy FR again, but reading reviews on there manufacturers it seems to be an industry problem/attitude!!
