Forest River Cargo Trailer reviews

Our family has thoroughly enjoy camping in the Forest River HW pop up trailer because it is easy to tow, easy to set up and has all the conveniences like the larger and more expensive trailers. The full kitchen with the oven is great along with the outside Bar-B-Q that runs from the 2 LP bottles on the trailer. The hot water shower and toilet is the best feature on those nights when we don't feel like using the campsite bathrooms. The beds are comfortable and the electric heater in the mattress is a nice touch on those cold nights. On our first camping trip using our Rockwood HW we went to Arrowhead Lake in the fall and ended up in a rain and wind storm with 50 mph gust of wind and it weathered the storm amazingly! No leaks, no breaks and no problems! We never worried after that about any concerns with the weather coming through it is so well made and tight that the built in furnace keep the trailer warm and the tent kept it dry! We've loved it because it tows easy. Set's up fast. And provided conveniences to give our family many great camping adventures. Show less

We have hauled our Surveyor legend since new. We ordered it from the factory with added features like a cold weather package, roof ladder, aluminum wheels. Over the past 4 years we have hauled it around about 20,000 miles. We have replaced the tires in the second year with about 19,000 miles on it due to the faculty that the tires are poor in quality. We suffered a tire tread separation but changed the tire before it blew out. The trailer is very good and well built. I would have preferred having only 1 entry door instead of the two. The second door does not get used hardly all. We have replaced the folding stairs in the back door because the original stairs worked OK but seemed a little flexable. We installed an adjustable fold down unit instead. We installed rear camera by attaching it to the installed wiring that the trailer came with. The trailer has been used in cold weather with great success as well as in the summer and spring heat of the south Florida and it has served us well with no issues to speak of. The bathroom is larger than other trailers we looked at an so we were more comfortable with the larger size. We are very happy with our trailer, and we have owned others before and this one is built much stronger with better materials like the 15 year guarrentee vinyl roof, the walls are made of a combination plastic/ fibreglass walls that do not leak like the aluminum walls do.

We bought our travel trailer new in 2020 and recently had a major repair that Evo Forest River has advised is outside of warranty. I bought all the extended warranties and I am being advised that the repairs aren’t covered. If Forest River stands behind the craftsmanship of their product they would review my claim and support us in the cost of $12k roof repair. The lack of customer satisfaction and quality of product makes me regret purchasing from them. Show less

This camper is exactly what my family needed. It allowed our son to bring a friend and gave me and my husband plenty of space. Loved the slide out dinette and the outside grill and fridge area. It was perfect weight to pull with our Pilot. I can’t say enough about how much we loved our Salem FX Show less

I am writing this review in hopes that anyone who is searching for a RV travel trailer will stay clear of Forest River. I am not sure what type of quality assurance process they have but maybe someone needs to evaluate that department. We purchased a new Forest River Wildwood Platinum 29BUD floor plan RV and have had nothing but issues. This was our first RV so we were not sure what to look for, now I know! The screen door does not latch there is a gap between the door and the frame. The RV bathroom has done nothing but leak since we used it, sink leaked, coupling not attached to water hose. Shower leaked, not only was it not calked properly but the hose coupling on the water line was not seated properly. The gas heat works when it wants too and the bed board in the primary bedroom broke in half!! This is unacceptable to manufacture a product in this manner. Does this company not even care that people spend their hard earned money, I understand that we did not pay 100s of thousands for this RV but 30+ thousand was a lot of us. POOR Quality. I wish the list of ratings were more along the actual product quality. We choose the floor plan so that would be on us if we didn't like it. I'm sure it tows as any other RV trailer, over all quality does not say it all. Show less

The rv, it’s a great floor plan. The problem is quality has been left out. Problem #1 the 2x2 framing under the master bedroom broke . When this happened it also broke the right side cabinet next to the bed. The framework was stapled together just barely holding together. I gutted the entire master bedroom and rebuilt it using 2x4 lumber with deck screws. Problem #2 same thing happened with the seat boxes and the couch. I completely rebuilt this entire area. Problem #3 the pocket door came off the upper track. I took care of this also. Problem #4 the underbelly panels came off. Again I took care of this with replacement panels. Problem #5. Brakes did not work properly I replaced all brakes with self adjustment brakes after repeated attempts to repair original brakes also the wire going to the brakes was #18 gauge wire. I went with#14 wire. Problem #6 all seals on the slide were either torn on the sides with no seals on top. Again I rebuilt all the slide seals. Problem #7 the cables for the entertainment system feel apart. I’m still working on that problem Show less

Not enough room. Only had it for 6mo and things started coming apart. It was sold to us with dents in the refrigerator and the awning out of track although it was brand new. I would not recommend nor will I ever buy a forest river product again!................... Show less

The 2021 Wolf Pup 16FQ is a very basic camper. It’s good for one or two people but too small for three due to space limitations. Major Quality Issues!!! Radio, back up camera, USB, and window had to be replaced. Too many shortcuts and wasted space in cupboards and below bed with walls put in on angles that don’t have to be. TV mount not centered on the wall. Holes behind toilet panel and other areas should have been filled during construction. No thermostat for Air Conditioner, it’s on or off and very loud. Furnace thermostat not accurate and not digital. Can’t adjust shelves in fridge without removing doors. BIG problem is a major opening in floor under the shower that is about 12” x 14” and should have been fixed by Forest River before putting in the shower. Only way to fix it is removing the shower. Should never have been left in this condition! Difficult working with Forest River for warranty work. Was unable to get specs for walls and wiring from Forest River. Would give quality and warranty/service a -0- if I could! If you buy one, go over it very carefully before you do. Show less
