Forest River Arctic Wolf reviews

This floor plan is great for families or if you want to have a separate office space to work remotely. This camper sleeps 9 easily and comfortably. The higher BTU units (2) keeps the camper nice and cold on those warmer days. The garage storage is huge. Also love the 2 refrigerators and ice maker in the outdoor kitchen. The fireplace in the living room can be set to look pretty, but also can be used as a heat source, wonderful on the chilly nights. The control panel's ability to work with the app on your phone is very handy, can check your tank levels, battery levels, control awnings and all the lights. We also enjoy the solar panel which charges the batteries. Highly recommend this camper! Show less

This has been a nightmare since day one. Everything is cheaply made, no storage inside the rv, the bunk house has no ac and yet the vent from the water heater goes directly into the bunk house making it unuseable as a bunk house. . The front a/c is not powerful enough to cool the rv in the summer months. Holes for the electrical wires and plumbing are so big that rats find it extremely easy to get into the rv and wreck havoc with the wiring,paper thin walls. The shower walls are not sealed at the bottom so water seeps down. Be sure you get an independent inspection of the rv prior to signing a contract. Dealership discourage this as if there is anything wrong they are responsible to fix it if you wait warranty might fix it but it is a long wait and you will be responsible for paying what warranty doesn’t cover.

The floor plan is excellent for families; that is the best I can say about it. If you plan on using the 5th wheel anytime the temperature outside is near or above 80 degrees, you do not want this trailer. It will not be cool, the further into the RV you go, the worse it gets. The AC is designed to deliver air 20 degrees below ambient, which means you have a trailer that will be warm when you factor in heat gain. The trailer is a 2 season trailer as long as you live in the northern tier of the United States or like it warm and do not have dogs. Factory support is nonexistent; too bad; the basic response is so sad. Steer clear and buy something else. The photo I would like to share is our unit in the Black Hills of SD. You'll notice it is in the shade; the ambient temperature was 80 degrees that day, best we could bet inside was 75. Show less

We previously owned a Grand Design Imagine and decided to upgrade for more space from a tow behind to a Fifth Wheel rig. We were pleased with Grand Design and looked at their fifth wheel models but they seemed a little pricey so we opted for a Forest River Arctic Wolf Cherokee. A bigger floor plan has been great but after a few months in the new rig we are realizing what poor quality has gone into the unit. Missed staples on the interior trim, cheap veneer quality, compartment doors that don’t close or seal properly, a missing button on the faux leather bunting, just seems like very poor materials were used on the unit. The models are supposed to get a thorough inspection before leaving the factory but whoever is signing off on these rigs the way they were allowed to leave is not doing a very good job. We’ve had the new rig for three months and keep finding issues constantly. Very disappointed at this point. Show less

This camper is the biggest pile I’ve ever owned. Extremely cheaply made. The outside isn’t too bad, but the interior is poor quality. Forest River should be ashamed for putting out such a poorly built product. Show less

while I was told this is a 4 season rv ,,forget it,,,it eats propane in the winter and both a/c struggle in the summer,,,propane lines leak,,,roof leaked 1st year,,outside weatherstripping fell apart and fell off,,,stitching on awning fell apart,,awning works when it decides it wants too,,bed fell apart,,,fresh water tank fills up on its own,,and there is not way this is a four season rv,,,oh and recliner seats fell apart in 2nd year,,and only used by 1 lightweight senior dude,,,and either nails or fasteners used under the flooring keep popping up ,,have to hammer them done on monthly time,,,Forest River left a very bad taste in quality on their products Show less

Forest River Inc. you are a huge disappointment and I will make sure everyone knows about your horrible business ethics and how you don’t give a damn about your customers. Selling faulty RV’s and not honoring the warranty on a brand new RV is honestly disgusting. Don’t ever buy ANYTHING from Forest River, they are crooks. They sold us a brand new camper with a faulty water control panel, and the living room floor and fireplace are now completely ruined. They are now refusing too honor the warranty on it. A brand new 70k fifth wheel and they refuse to repair THEIR faulty equipment that damaged our BRAND NEW CAMPER. #badbusinessethics #forestriver #crooks #lemonlaw #campers #camping #fifthwheel #unprofessional #badbusiness #faultyequipment #poorcustomerservice #poorworkmanship #waterdamage #travel #rvs #traveltrailer Show less

Overall, this is a great RV. Like virtually every RV, it isn't perfect, right? Some issues with quality (detaching trim, loose cabinets, etc.), but nothing that detracts from our recreational use of the vehicle and nothing that I couldn't fix in a single day. We use this rig for recreation, which is what RVs are designed for: recreational and temporary living. Despite what some people will tell you, even some dealers, RVs - which are recreational vehicles - are not designed to be lived in full time. They're designed for recreation. Mobile homes are, for example, designed to be lived in full time. Period. So while the rig isn't perfect, it's pretty darn good for essentially a condo on wheels going through a Cat 4 hurricane each any every time we drive it. If you took your $500,000 home, put it on a trailer, and drove it 70MPH down a pot-hole riddled highway, I promise you'd have some trim popping off and cabinets leaning. So, with all that in mind, don't listen to a lot of these negative reviews. If you use this rig as intended and have realistic expectations, Forest River makes some great RVs. Show less

I have loved this RV. It has tons of storage. We lived in it for a short period of time while our home was being repaired from Hurricane Laura and it was perfect for our family of 6. After we moved into our house we brought it back to the dealership just to get everything done through warranty. Nothing major was messed up on the RV. We got some seals redone and the outside refrigerator for the outside Kitchen didnt work but we got a new one. It really has been an awesome RV I wish we could keep it and actually enjoy it and make memories with the kids but we need this new house and the RV wont fit in the driveway. Show less

There is nothing arctic about the 3880 suite. Just about everything will freeze below 30. Especially the kitchen water lines. Drafts are unreal. If you want to test it. Turn ion the bathroom exhaust and you will feel the cold air rush in in the main suite bedroom Let’s go to the trim of the unit. The lack of quality is unreal. Trim just keeps falling off Don’t get me wrong. The dam thing is beautiful and comfortable. Just be sure to only use in the summer. Early fall and late spring. They really need to take out the “arctic” out of its name Show less
