Forest River Champaign reviews

We traveled full time for 6 months twice around the country. It was the perfect rig for me. I am 69 years old with a bad back. The hydraulic leveling worked great also had the large plastic pads so I didn't have to put out boards or plastic pads. Electric cord is on a powered winch so no heavy lifting. Connect water and drain and you are relaxing in 10 minutes. Turn on the roof top satellite dish that automatically finds a satellite. Pull a bottle of wine out of the wine cooler hit the fireplace on and turn on some tunes or the game. This unit has 3 ac's with duct that are quiet, a dishwasher, full fridge, 4 burner stove with a oven that you can cook a turkey in. It has a metal frame walls which are more sturdier than the wood. Can't rot either. Insulated glass windows. Show less

This is our second CK Fifth wheel. Only had our 2020 for a year before we ordered a bigger version. First with what we like. 1. Floorplan spacious, lots of storage, roomy everywhere it counts. 2. Options. We were able to get carpet in the living room, and bedroom. Everyone brags about no carpet. But our dogs can actually stand up, and jump up and down from the bed etc. We had to put carpet samples in the last one. The dogs just slip on the plastic floors. 3. Our dealer in who they no longer allow to be one because he wouldnt stock many units when the RV market crashed. They dont want smart dealers apparently. Even if customers love them. Now for the problems. 1. The underbelly. Sections of the underbelly have fallen off twice on the road. Dragging wires and insulation on the hwy. We are talking 10 - 12 feet gone! Last time I had to buy a plastic tarp, cut it to size and Duck tape the thing for hours, after stuffing the stuff back in. Terrible design underneath. The dealer tried brackets secured the first time. A strong crosswind ripped it all out. 2. Westlake tires- AKA China bombs Replace them Nuff said. Blowout at 10,000 miles Blew a chunk out of the side of the rig. 3. Auto level works 2/3 of the time. Slide doesnt come in when unlevel. Have to manually level it. 4.Screws come loose from all over. But I blame some States roads. Colorado? Would we buy another one? Yes But we would duck tape the entire underbelly. Replace the tires. Tighten every screw down and bring extra. 3. Show less

This unit has only been used 9 times, mostly on weekends with in a 50 mile radius. It has many added features like : solar panels, on demand hot water, dishwasher, wine cooler, king bed, residential refrigerator, large inverter, power awnings, an extra power awning on the slide out, slide toppers on all the slideouts.The axles are 8000 lb rated and H rated nitrogen filled tires. The camper tows great and has a trailair hitch. It's just too big for our week end trips. Show less
