Forest River Cedar Creek Cottage Park Model reviews

So far I have either made all repairs myself or hired out the repairs. First year 2022 1. No seals on the kitchen refrigerator/fireplace slide out. When I closed up the unit for winter I could see the grass outside on each corner of the slide out. Repair by the dealer. 2. No hole cut for the bedroom door deadbolt in the door frame. I had to router the aluminum frame myself to get it to actually work. 3. The floor under the recliner and table fell out when I closed the slides. Repaired by the dealer. 4. Checked RV first winter to find squirrels living in it. Found holes for water/drain lines not spray foamed on bottom of frame. Fixed myself, no more squirrels. 5. Kitchen faucet was leaking, not properly installed, fixed it myself. Second year 6. Had mice inside water heater compartment, not inside the RV. Found unsealed holes behind the water heater I had to use my cell phone camera to see. Spray foamed myself. 7. I used FLEX SEAL tape make gaskets around the hydraulic rams where they penetrate the frame to keep mice from getting in the under belly pan. 8. FACTORY is horrible and will not return phone calls.

Terrible quality and support Such cheap materials and lack of quality workmanship Absolutely zero pride at assembly Steer clear They look great andcwell laid out Thats the only positive Its just not my unit Everybody i talk to with a Firrest River product tells me the same story Pretty sad Show less

Horrible. Anyone who buys a Forest river product must be insane. I wish someone would have written the review I am writing now prior to my purchase. As a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder I was excited to purchase from one of our companies. This thought was a mistake. The plywood floor on the slide out is about to fall in and their customer service is horrible. 1 year warranty??? No wonder. Berkshire should sale this company immediately before a class action lawsuit happens. I would not recommend purchasing any forest river products. You will be sorry very soon after purchasing. I actually feel sorry for dealers selling their products. This company will probably not be in business much longer given the poor quality of materials and workmanship. I will send pictures to anyone who wants to see them. Show less

Poorest quality control I’ve ever seen. Bedroom deadbolt didn’t line up with the hole in the door frame. Two huge holes on both sides of the slide with the refrigerator/stove when the slide is retracted. The floor actually fell off the slide with the recliners. Zero response from manufacturer for warranty on a brand new 2022 park model. Show less

Purchased a 2022 park model from McGeorges RV, Thornburg VA. Got the unit home discovered several problems that I reported to the dealership. There has been no effort made by anyone to resolve the issues. BOTH air conditioner units do no work, the awning hits the slide, the slide folds in at an angle when retracted, recall on the propane lines, bent jacks, door molding came off, decorative pieces fell off the bedroom shelves, oven does not light and the list grows. I have called multiple people, emailed pictures, videos that were requested. To be ignored by everyone at the dealership, corporate, service manager and Forest River. It has been four months trying to get a resolution. The worst service all around and for an $80,000 unit, cheap. Show less

We bought this RV for use on our lake property while our cabin was being built. It has only been moved a few miles to storage for the winter. Towing requires at least a 3/4-ton truck. I purchased a 1-ton Silverado. Towing is pretty easy. We love this RV. The King bed in the master bedroom is comfortable. Our guests have said the Queen hide-a-bed couch if also good. The loft is great for kids. There is plenty of storage for clothes. The pantry has plenty of room. We used the fireplace in the spring and fall to take the chill off. It has two air conditioners that work well in the summer. The gas heaters kept the RV plenty warm in the Fall. It needs to be Winterized when the temperature falls below freezing for an extended period of time The water heater is a bit small so you have to be thoughtful when taking showers. The full size refrigerator and stove/oven work as expected. The microwave also works just fine. From a quality perspective it is your typical RV. Everything is designed to keep things light. The appliances are not name brand, look like the private label types you see at a Best Buy. However everything works just fine. Leveling the unit is important to allow for the extensions to function properly. There is no evidence of leaking. I would recommend this unit. Show less

Love the floor plan, the nice king size bed, the island kitchen with full size refrigerator built in vacuum. Great stereo system with outdoor speakers, honestly can’t complain!! Wouldn’t change anything about it. Show less

Received my trailer May 2021, upon inspection door jams scuffed up, actually chunks taken out. Hooked it up, hot water flow at a minimum in the kitchen sink, (talked to plumber in the family said probably a kink in the line) counter top has scuff marks that will not come out. bathroom faucet only goes on hot or warm, handle will not go on cold, crack on bathroom sink, chip in shower wall..shower doors make horrible loud noise opening and closing. Bedroom, pistons on bed let go when I was trying to put items under for storage. Got out just in time. That heavy bed would have broke my back. Although dealership is trying to be helpful it’s 4 months and still waiting for issues to be resolved. I did contact Forest River over these issues and poor workmanship. They could care less. We do like the trailer, but dissatisfied with quality considering they are $86,000.00. Show less

Our first year was enjoyable except for faulty instillation or our washer causing flooding and the DVD player died after using it about 5 times. This year not so good The Original connection hose to the washer Was faulty and lasted one season so another flood, the ice maker died after one season and the worst part is the AC died totally after the cooling fluid leaked out. I’m almost afraid of what’s next. Can we bring manufacturing back to North America. I would rather pay more for products that last. Some of the problems were fixed under warranty but we are left with water stained carpet and suffering temps of 32 degrees Celsius or 90 degrees Fahrenheit Trailer Quality is low and ACs not available for replacement because of COVID. I could add more but what’s the point. TJ Show less
