Forest River Flagstaff High Wall Folding Trailer reviews

This is like the ikea cheap trailer of trailers. I wish I looked closer at the quality before purchasing. It’s just very cheap and poorly assembled. I’ve owned this trailer less than a year and every sink has leaky plumbing, drawers broke after a week of using them, there’s trim pieces that aren’t even cut right, wallpaper in the bathroom is already bubbling, my bathroom sliding door is now broken, taillight went out already. I’ve barely used this thing it’s practically brand new. Just very cheap and poorly made. Not to mention there is not enough storage on this thing and I already am a minimalist. Just definitely research before you buy. Show less

Bought this new and made many modifications along the way. We love the floor plan as we are able to fit in it comfortably. Its best described as cocktails for 6-8, Dinner for 4, and sleeping for 3-4. We have slept as many as 5 with our teenage son and in-laws, but I had to modify the kitchen table to flip up and fit a cot along side. Lots of seating (we have the table and chairs) with room to spread out. We have had 8 comfortably and been able to talk and all sit down without feeling cramped on rainy days. I had issues towing it. LOTS of sway. almost all the storage in the trailer is in front of the axles. I had some weight issues because I like to pack heavy so some of it is on me. We never tow with anything in the tank. After the diet I still had an 1100 lb tongue weight even though the trailer weighs less than 7k. This forced us to move things from front storage to rear floor in order to compensate and back to storage to camp. First thing we did was remove a bunch of stuff, second was to use a different hitch and upgraded to a propride. Pricey, but really straightened things out for us. After 3 yrs we upgraded to an F350 and now no issues at all. I weighed it MANY times and we were never over trailer max, but rear or truck was almost 400lbs over loaded to camp on the F150. We put about 20k miles on it with the F150 and 30k on it with the F350. I patch the roof every year but we did have a leak in the front windshield after 4 years which only required some screw tightening after lots of diagnosing. We enjoy the outside propane port for outdoor cooking, and use this for Starlink cable access out of the trailer now. We have worked remotely most summers traveling around on weekends for months at a time. The large awning is great to sit out in light weather when secured properly. We had minor warranty issues (propane pigtails and regulator) that were not worth driving in for so I fixed them myself. Major complaints to us have really been lack of storage in the kitchen, poor planning for weight distribution, and a rough tow at first. The awning is great, but not fun to clean dirt and mold of every year because its so large. Show less

My wife and I purchased an Aframe hard side (A213HW) camper. We purchased it used from a dealership. Some of the positive things we found are the overall floor plan. We like the two single beds, lots of storage (could use more), and very easy to pull and setup. Once it's leveled, it only takes about 3 minutes to set up. Now for the only big problem we have. The actuator arm that lifts the top into position is a piece of junk. The design is totally wrong. If it rains, water is able to get into the gear and electrical housing. We are on our third arm in three years. Did I mention that we keep it in our garage when not in use. Luckily, I was able to redesign it as a backup. The manufacturer needs to spend some time and money to redesign it. Show less

Enjoyable travel trailer overall but very poorly built. Issues - - outdoor speakers crackle - still cannot use them even after 2 dealers attempted to repair. It's been like that since new - speakers replaced,.. maybe the sterio unit is bad? I checked speaker wire connections. - sink fell away from countertop - quite a surprise there - had to find a way to prop it up and gorilla glue it. Worked ok but some glue showing - rear left light (brake, blinker, light) failed - needed to replace the entire led unit as it failed - curtain fell off wall - need to put in an anchor and rescrew -many blown fuses putting the slide in - dealer installed a resettable fuse to correct Overall just feel like I bought something new and expensive and I got something made poorly. Warranty runs out and I'm left doing repairs myself or living with the problem. Show less
