Forest River Cardinal LE reviews

The overall quality is horrible! We have owned this fifth wheel for almost 3 years and bought it brand new from dealer. Within six months we began having things breaking or stop working. Minor things at first that have gradually increased into bigger things. The dealership was zero help! The manufacture did return emails, but so much time had gone by that the warranty expired before we could get anything done. The manufacturer actually advised us we could’ve bypassed the dealership and gotten a remote repair person, as the slide outs would not go in for us to get the camper to dealership for warranty work. Items broken and or falling apart are but not limited to, trim work breaking in various places, outlets falling into the walls, flooring lifting, bubbled & bumpy walls by door & in closet, vent in shower quit working, closet doors both broke (we did manage to get those replaced but not installed) drawers in the chest of drawers broken, hydraulic arm/support under bed/storage space broke, love seat is peeling, gauges for all tanks do not read properly or at all, radio does not work and never has, trim on outside has warped and fallen off in multiple areas, both canopies are loose in places where they are attached to camper and over all are falling apart, the self leveling system does not and never has worked AND the slides will not go in! Basically, a $65k+ LEMON that we paid cash for! If we had not had so much going on (open heart surgery, COVID, etc) I would’ve seriously considered getting an attorney just out of principal. Overall, very poor quality across the board!! I’d steer clear of this manufacturer as a whole! Show less
