FOREST RIVER CHEROKEE LITE reviews

Excellent like new condition. The new 8 inch memory foam mattress in the master is very comfortable and having the 2 little cubbies next to you makes it easy to charge you phone , keep your glasses or really anything you might need in the middle of the night There is 2 TVs one is a smart Apple TV and the other has an Amazon fire stick to enjoy at night or during bad weather when the weather is miserable The stove and oven work great if you are a baker or just need a meal that is easy to prepare This unit is easy to tow and park. We have a F-150 that we towed it with the 1 month that we used it Show less

We are so far impressed with the Floorplan with bunkroom and 2nd bathroom (1/2 bath ) This is the second Flagstaff we've owned, and I see a lot of quality built into this trailer. So many tech upgrades since 2021 until now. We have only had this rv for a few weeks. I will update if things change, but at this point I feel that this is real quality and we're happy. Show less

This camper is a complete nightmare. We purchased it brand new in 2022 and were blinded by how "beautiful" it was. We were naive new camper owners who did not know what to look for. Every time we go camping, something breaks or falls apart. Tons of trouble with electrical components in the camper, none of the USB ports work on the inside, and some of the outlets do not work. The buttons for the electric jacks have broken 3 times in the 3 years we've had the camper. The awning is coming unattached on one side. The shower has leaked out the corner of the floor since the first time we used it. The biggest issue that we have run into is that the storage compartment door on the underbelly storage was installed incorrectly from the manufacturer (according to a service tech who looked at it) which caused a leak. The leak has now caused floor rot. We got a quote to fix this and it was quoted to us at $8000. This is INSANE! When I reached out to Forest River about getting this replaced as it was due to faulty install/manufacturing, they stated that because the warranty was over there was nothing they can do. They do NOT back their brand and they do NOT care about customer service. Run far, far away before ever purchasing a Forest River. Show less

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. Show less

I have owned this trailer for 4 years and it has been amazing. It is tiny but well laid out and cozy. We have traveled into the woods and across the nation. We were able to customize the inside to add some storage. It has been the perfect trailer for us. Show less

This camper has been one problem after another. Factory installed slide topper too low and was collecting water and had to be replaced . First letter received stated that they couldn’t be out in the rain. So slide outs have to be retracted when it rains meaning you can’t use the rv. They did finally fix this after the dealership fought them on it and they put a metal strip over the holes on the side of the camper and again had to insist that this was unsatisfactory for a brand new rv. They finally fixed this after months of back and forth. During this time the fireplace would over heat and shut down causing a hot electrical smell. Took it back 3 times to get this looked at and after the 4th trip they replaced the fireplace. Seemed that an electrical fire was not a priority for them to fix. Rear and front jack lights don’t work, after it was taken to the dealer to fix. While having our tv for the winter the did fix the holes in the slide and when I picked up the rv in the spring the roof had leaked in a couple of different places and cause water damage in the roof. It was confirmed that it was faulty worn from the factory. We have missed a couple of trips and have lost deposits and non refundable camping sites. Because of the need to tow my rv during the winter months we are now seeing rust on the leveling arms also. We have tried to work with Forest River for months on getting this worked out and their answer is to ship our rv to Indiana this fall and replace the entire roof. Today we are experiencing more electrical issues of gfi outlets randomly tripping with nothing plugged into them. We asked to have the RV replaced serval times and Forest River will not entertain the conversation even though I have stated that the level of water damage is bound to cause future problems and that this is clearly an rv that was poorly made and will continue to have problems.

Buying this Rv has to be one of the biggest mistakes that I have ever made. Have been on four weekend camping trips and have had four warranty issues. Have had loose wiring that caused the Rv to have no ac power, the solar controller overcharging the battery, the battery disconnect switch randomly cutting out 12 volt power and now the air conditioner is not cooling properly. And don’t even get me started on camping world. Show less

We used it for our first trip with a trailer. 6 months from Colorado to Portland Maine . And South to Florida. Stayed in 28 State parks. When we got a cancellation State park and Hoa’s in between. The Autumn Colors were somthing to see. And the Great U.S.A. We are so happy that we took that chance and did it. Learned so much and met so many great people. Really just a different experience of people than the day to day. Hectic people on the highway or the sidewalks. Some places where like your neighborhood. We stayed in a HOA in Fancy Gap Virginia. Families of Grandparents to great grandchildren stay every year for Halloween. So friendly and open to talk. I could go on and on. But we were very lucky. No time frame. No Appointments to keep.
