Forest River Cargo Trailer reviews

We bought this Cherokee Forest River Wolf Pack Toy Hauler and had nothing but trouble with it from the first camping trip. They sold it with only one air condition unit, and it needed two, because the unit could not keep up. We only used this camper three times in a year and two of those times were miserable due to no air conditioning or refrigerator. On the first camping trip there was no air conditioning, refrigerator quit, molding came off from the slide out, tear in leather seating when let down in toy hauler, door latch broke and could not latch or lock trailer. We bought it late February 2025 and have been in the shop since July 11, 2025, and is still there on 2/23/2026. They put on a new air conditioning unit and had to move the solar panel, which one service manager stated we needed a new roof due to addition of new air unit. Forest River warranty department manager Ashley and Lori have been of no assistance. They told us that once it went to Camping World it was their problem. I would not buy a Forest River Product. Ours is a complete lemon. Show less

The overall experience with this model is the fact that it lacks quality products inside the trailer itself. Its durability in bones of a travel trailer are excellent but after that it lacks interior quality completely. The radio is not a stable product at all. I have had to on several occasions take it apart to reset it because for some reason freeze up. The television didn't even last a year. The kitchenet faucet has come loose. The solar panels only keep the battery charged. The windows are not designed for winter months, and bugs have easy access to the inside. The cushions for the beds are not designed for long term usage. The shower head is useless and the microwave is not powerful at all. The front doorlatch is very cheaply made. However. The fact that it is extremely light weight, it is easy to pull. The awning (if taken care of) is Very nice. The deep sink in the kitchenet is nice. The stove being gas is fun to use. The microwave double as an convection oven and works great. The refrigerator is very nice plus the extra fridge in the back makes it perfect when using the exterior cook top. There is plenty of storage. And the TV is easily replaced for a better model. Show less

We purchased our 2021 Salem Hemisphere 25RBHL in early 2025, and it was absolutely immaculate—like a brand-new couple’s coach. It even still had that new RV smell inside. We camped almost every month throughout 2025, including Christmas, and we truly can’t put into words how perfectly this model has met our needs. The 25RBHL is the ideal size—not too big and not too small. The interior feels like home without needing to add a single thing. The rear bathroom is incredibly spacious! The theater seating features underlighting and illuminated cup holders, creating the perfect ambiance for watching an action-packed movie. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space along with a pantry, which is a huge plus. For a five-year-old trailer, the exterior still looks fantastic—clean and free of stains. Most people assume our Salem Hemisphere 25RBHL is much newer at first glance. The only item we needed to replace was the “H” hot water cap on the bathroom sink, which I found on Amazon for $5. My husband also performed routine annual maintenance on the water heater and replaced the anode rod, purchasing a two-pack for under $20. Other than that, we haven’t had to do a thing. Show less

We purchased our Luxury Surveyor straight from the factory. We used it for state park camping due to it size and configuration. Further, we snowbird in the unit from November through April. The unit travels well behind a Silverado 1500. The weight of the trailer makes it very towable. The unit quality is much like other units since most of the parts and assemblies is made by Lippert Inc. We upgraded the tires and air conditioner, but overall very satisfied with the unit. For a couple, I would highly recommend the unit based off quality and “best for the money.” Show less

Very disappointed in this trailer. While it has some good points like combined Microwave, Air Fryer, Oven, the build quality leaves a lot to be desired. Dinette cushion foam is weak 130 lb adult flattens it. Oriented strand board used under bed and dinette seats has rough unfinished edges a real finger shredder.Instant hot water heater installed at very front of unit resulting in having to run the hot water faucets and shower for a long time before getting hot water through. Cabinet installation shows lack of quality control. Soap dispenser installed to far from sink and drape hold downs incorrectly installed. The on board thermostat is useless reading up to 20 degrees higher than the actual temperature. Finally still searching for a way to access the rear view camera without a smart phone. Should never have bought this unit. Show less

I purchased this RV new from a dealer June 2025, went in for repair on July 11, 2025 and it took 5 months for them to realize it was manufactured wrong. I have not had my camper since July 11th and they are telling me it cannot go in to be repaired until Mid February. So I have no camper that I make payment on and no on really cares at all. Forest River will fix it at their leisure... In my mind they should of replaced it. Worst Company Ever!!!!!! Show less

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

Unhappy Customer From Day One I recently purchased a brand-new Grey Wolf travel trailer, excited to start my RV adventures. While the trailer itself has some great features and a stylish design, my experience has been marred by unexpected defects and disappointing service from the dealer and Forest River Warranty. Shortly after purchase, I noticed many issues that should not be present in a new unit — including [Weak Brakes, Black and grey tank indicators only showing grey light]. I brought these concerns to the dealer, expecting warranty coverage and professional support. Unfortunately, they claimed they could not find any faults and refused to take responsibility for some of the defects. As a result, I had to pay out of pocket to fix problems that should have been covered. This was incredibly frustrating, especially given the trailer's new condition and the dealership's reputation. I felt dismissed and unsupported during the process. I still believe the Grey Wolf has potential, but buyers should be cautious and inspect thoroughly before finalizing the purchase. And if you're considering Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf, be prepared to advocate strongly for yourself — because their post-sale service left much to be desired. I wish I had known this before I bought this trailer, would have gone with a different brand. Show less

One would have thought that for the price, it would at least live somewhat comfortably but it's really the opposite. We are going through a tank of propane in less than 2 days because of this crappy design. It's supposed to be an all season camper but on a cold night, the furnace is worthless. I've yet to find the temperature that makes the living space warm, however, the bedroom and bathroom are saunas. With the thermostat on 80, the furnace runs literally full time, hence the waste of propane, and the bedroom and bath are 80+ degrees but the living room won't even reach 70. The bath and bedroom are so hot that both my husband and I have sustained burns from stepping on the floor vent in the middle of the night Don't waste your money. And that doesn't even get in to the oven that takes half an hour to reach 350 or the door that won't close square or the outlets that trip if you use something as power draining as a phone charger. Very disappointed 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
