Forest River FR3 reviews

Loved the king bed and bunk layout. Drove incredibly smooth. No issues with maintenance of the RV itself or engine. Great family RV! We drove it for approximately 20k miles. Perfect size for all campgrounds. Super for towing a jeep. Show less

RV manufacturer did NOT stand behind VALID warranty claims despite telling me they would. Extremely disappointed. Forest River are liars and produced a terrible motorhome that had many problems from Day 1. STAY AWAY!! Show less

Absolutely love the Forest River brand. The manufactures thinks of “smart features” that most other brands do not. This beast drives easily and manages the mountains with ease. We have 3 teenage kids and they all have space to spread out while driving and for sleeping! I love the extra large refrigerator. The shower is bigger than most I have been in and gives you a bit more room to maneuver. Love the king bed with power outlets on both sides for charging. Overall it is well built and I can’t think of a thing we would add. Show less

We own this camper and couldn't be happier with it. Long road trips are super comfortable with the size and ability to maneuver with the slides in. Plenty of space and a TON of storage in this thing, inside and out. We have three kids that consistently camp with us and the space is AMAZING! Even with their stuff, that is typically scattered wherever they can find room, it still doesn't feel cluttered. The bunks are perfect whether we're camping with or without kids for extra storage and then sleeping when needed. The bunk above the cab is a must have feature in these newer class A's. I cannot say enough good things about this coach, it's a game changer for family camping! Show less

These RVS are very poor quality. I have 40000 miles on mine and the furniture looks terrible. Wear marks everywhere. Both Captains Chairs in the front need replace all ready. The Norcold refrigerator never gets cold. 45 degrees. I do maintenance on everything all the time. Door latch has broke twice. $350 each. Slide motor gear box went out $100. Front step motor when your $150. Front dash got rebuilt because it’s plastic plate? New radio. Furrion tvs are crap. In a nut shell I’d save my money and get something else. Show less

We traveled 6 hrs to look at this today because we were told that there wasn’t anything wrong with it and it wouldn’t need tires until next season.. he failed to tell us it needed tires now, a generator and a whole new roof on it and maybe a battery.. bad business!! Show less

Had numerous problems with the generator from day one on. It drives poorly, so I had suspension upgraded. The air conditioner is super loud. The engine and transmission are good. The kitchen sink has already been replaced (it started leaking) despite not even being 2 years old. The interior storage is good. The locks on the exterior storage compartments are of despicable quality. The toilet stopped flushing this month. The build quality is bad, even by RV standards. Show less

Do not buy this RV . Any FR3 they are a piece of crap. I have 6397 miles and nothing but headaches. I do not write reviews but I want to warn you. I have fixed over 5 items myself. My slide out did not want to work bad module. My back AC did not work and low water pressure. DO NOT BUY! To many other problems to list. I’m not rich and I cannot afford a 250k RV should of stuck with a expensive travel trailer. I have had 3 of them not as many problems on all 3 in 20yrs as this pos FR3. I feel like I went down in quality. Show less

We have had problems from Day 1 . Before it left Forest Rivers manufacturing facility ,they couldn't get it started. The delivery driver found that the heat for the cab didn't work and the alignment was out (pulling to the right really BAD. Ford the Manufacture of F53 Classis DOSEN"T WARRANTY THE ALIGNMENT OR THE TIRES, I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE MAKER OF THE TIRES IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM. REMEMBER THIS IS A BRAND NEW RV 260 MILES ON IT. I can go on and on and on. My advise would be to look at a different unit, but ford makes the Chassis for all of them . my email is listed if you would have any Question. jeff Show less
