Forest River reviews

This RV is often referred to as a "Couple's Camper" because of its open floor plan, king bed and large bathroom. If you get the dinette version it can sleep four. We chose the recliner loveseat sitting in front of the fireplace and relaxing, so our's sleeps two. We have not had any problems with it and I can say that after looking at so many other designs, this one works well for the 2 of us and our large dog. The hardware on the inside doors is sturdy and the doors do not come off the track when underway as some other models do. The large kitchen counter space and pantry are just what we needed. Happy to have the solar panel and monitoring equipment installed and working. Central heat and air are super nice and quiet. Second entry/exit door in the master BR is a bonus, since we sometimes leave the door open with just the screen. Very happy with this unit. It is just under 6000 lbs. and tows easily. It has good ground clearance and is well built with aluminum infrastructure and walkable roof. Having the rear ladder to access equipment on the roof is a big bonus. There are videos available to see the manufacturing plant and process. Oh, and there are organizing shelves built in under the bed and a quick connect for propane to run the grill off the main tanks. Too many extras to mention here. Have not used warranty at all. Did come with crap tires which we promptly replaced. Highly recommend this model if you are looking. Show less

I purchased my Forest River No Bo from an owner who had it for 3 years. At first glance it's a fairly nice travel trailer. Once you have used it for a year or so , you realize how poorly constructed these trailers really are. Of course every cabinet is made from particle board, so the least amount of pressure on an electrical outlet, will knock it right out of the wall. I have two now that are impossible to re-attach. The valances above the windows are sagging from opening and closing them. Overall, these trailers are made like dog do. If I ever decide to purchase another one, it won't be the crap that Forest River puts out. That being said, I'd give them a one star review. Show less

If I could rate them a 0 I would.. I purchased a new 2025 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen fifth wheel from Bish’s RV – Kalispell, along with an extended service contract, expecting reliability and support. Instead, I’ve experienced ongoing mechanical issues, poor follow-through, and a complete breakdown in service and warranty accountability. Since January 27, 2025, my RV has been without reliable heat and/or hot water, making it uninhabitable. I live full-time in this unit with my child. A heating failure led to additional damage, and despite multiple service visits, the problems have not been resolved. Most recently, a technician serviced the water heater and left it non-functional, throwing an E4 ignition error. I was told no one was available to fix it until days later — leaving me with no hot water after months of issues. What has been most frustrating is the lack of ownership: Problems have been repeatedly reframed or deflected Warranty coverage has been denied or delayed despite covered components Repairs have taken weeks, not days Communication has been inconsistent The burden has been placed entirely on me This unit is not a true four-season RV, yet I was left dealing with the consequences of system failures without timely support or accountability. I am still displaced, still without full use of my RV, and still waiting for resolution on a unit that is new and under warranty. I strongly caution anyone considering purchasing an RV here to ask hard questions about after-sale support, warranty responsiveness, and what happens when something goes wrong — because that’s when it really matters.

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

I would never buy another product from this company. We bought this rv new ,when we went to pick it up ac units did not work. First trip out fridge didn't work auto leveling did not work and black water tank valve did not hold black water back, so I took a black water shower, not fun the trailer has been in the shop more than we have been able to use it. I would check other brands before you buy one of these. Show less

FOREST RIVER RV'S ARE COMPLETE JUNK ,THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORIBLE I have one of their newer 5th wheels and it's complete CRAP . BUILT WITH COMPLETE IGNORANCE, AND NO PRIDE AT ALL. If you want a quality built rv, trust me, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING BUILT BY FOREST RIVER. Show less

I have owned four RVs this is by far the biggest piece of junk. I’ve had problems with the generator from the start had it to general RV, camping world lazy days of Fort Pierce finally lazy days of Seffner Florida figured out there was an oil leak and kept running low on oil but now still does not run both ACs at the same time called the factory because the paint is peeling on the outside and the cabinets are all peeling on the inside. It’s a 2023 with only 16,000 miles on it. Factory said it’s out of warranty too bad never buy another one Buyer beware 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
