Forest River Flagstaff Micro Lite reviews

We purchased our 2021 brand new off the lot in 2020. Within the first year we had our jack replaced and a leak in the kitchen sink which caused damage to the trim around the kitchen cabinet. In 2021, we had a cap fly off our awning going down the road, and at some point during storage, the cabinet door came apart at the seam. Keeping in mind we don’t store anything in the cupboards. We ordered a replacement door of which the holes for the hardware were not pre-drilled and cost of said door was roughly $175. This year, we have experienced a leak in the outdoor kitchen because the frame literally separated from the outside wall of the camper causing water to leak into the kitchen and across the main floor. The trim inside the kitchen needs to be replaced because of the water damage. The awning motor also quit this season and had to be repaired. I paid $35,000 for this travel trailer and it’s been nothing but a headache. I will not buy another product from Forrest River.

We bought our Forrest River travel trailer in 2020.brand new off the lot. Within the first year we had a leak in the sink which caused damage to the cabinet from water. We had to replace a cabinet door because it separated, the joint literally separated, and the replacement door cost us nearly $200 was not pre-drilled. Our awning motor has quit as of last camping trip, and our outdoor kitchen takes in water when it rains because the outside trim around the edge has separated from the exterior wall. I have it going in again for repairs this week. I have photos of all the issues stated above. We paid $35,000 for a brand new Camper and it’s been nothing but a disappointment. We will not buy another one.

We purchased this camper on a solid recommendation in Corbin,Ky. The layout suited us and the price was good. We took it to Cave City on its maiden voyage and wasn’t disappointed. Towing was very manageable and the initial setup went well. It slept 4 adults and a baby just fine although it didn’t have a second accomadating bed. The theater sofa reclines all the way back and comfortable enough to grab 6 hours snooze time. The ac worked great and kept us comfortable. The biggest plus is the rear located bathroom. Roomy and we’ll thought out. Having a door made it a more private experience. The bed was roomy and noise free. We really enjoyed it. Looking to put many memories in the books with this camper.

This brand is very sturdy, Our friends count the screws on their floor when they arrive at camp. We've never found any. So many premium features that come standard make the Micro Lite a top of the line brand.

This is a great small RV. We have had no problems with the unit. Lots of nice little extras like heated storage tanks and ez lube wheel bearings. The jackknife sofa leaves a little to be desired but this is a great RV for a couple and can be easily towed with a 1/2 ton pickup and some SUV’s. Overall a good experience.

Great travel trailer. So Many Great Features: Great floor plan the Murphy bed and slide-out give you a tremendous amount of living space for a 22' trailer. Very comfortable, plenty of storage space, easy to trailer, park. Very sturdy and well-made. Overall Just a Super-Nice Trailer!

The floor plan and towing good but the front end of the camper has become wrapped and then the large front window cracked, we had paid for the 7 year extended warranty but according the the dealer this is not covered. The back portion of the steps somehow broke and this is also not covered. According to the dealer the wrapping in the front is normal when left in the weather ( which is ridiculous) we have had other trailers tact have set in the same spot and never this problem with this. I have family members who have trailers for quite a few years left out in the weather and they have never had this problem. Will not buy this brand again.

This is a terrible time to buy anything made with wood. If you notice, there has been a lot of complaits about Powder Post Beetles. These are wood-boring beetles that bore into the wood, lay legs, which then grow to maturity and bore their way out of the wood to begin the cycle again. They are often found in new campers, furniture, wood flooring, and cabinets. Bringing them into your home will cost you a lot of money. Finding an exterminator that will try to eradicate them is difficult. If you have them in your camper it is almost impossible to get rid of them. First, you have to convince the RV dealer that you bought it that way. You did, they just don't want to admit it. Then you have to get them to fix it. This is the difficult part,even if it is under warranty. MINE IS. They used infested wood to build the camper. Forest River will stone wall you when you file the claim. Do not buy a Forrest River Camper. I bought one almost a year ago and when the mature beetles started to emerge through the walls of the camper, I filed a claim under my warranty. First they ignored my claim. Then I complained to the North Carolina Depart of Justice. This got Forrest Rivers attention. Forest river tells me they will fumigate the camper, repair the wood damage by the beetles and redo the whole process if the beetles return. That may sound good but let's think about it. First they did not fumigate the camper. They removed the paneling in one spot and sprayed the wall. That is not fumigation, that is a band aid. The adult beetles that have emerged this summer have flown around the camper and laid eggs. These eggs will hatch in 6 months. And I will need to have the process done again. So Each year when I am ready to go camping, I will have to remove everything from the camper, drive it to the dealer, and have the camper fixed again. This is my first year with this camper, and I have not been able to use my camper for 3 months. So, every year when I am ready to go camping, I will actually be waiting to get my camper back from the dealer. I WANT THE CAMPER I PAID FOR. NEW, NOT INFESTED, READY TO USE. NOT FULL OF BUGS THAT I MGHT ACCIDENTY BRING IN TO MY HOUSE. AND WITHOUT THE NEED FOR YEARLY FUMIGATION AND REPAIR. I paid with money that they can use. I what a camper I can use. They stole my money ($27,000) and my summer (Priceless). I have no camper at this time and I missed this years camping season.

My dream camper turned out to be a nightmare. I really wanted a summer of joy but Forest river stole that from me, along with a $27,000 new camper. I paid with good cash. They used defective materials. The wood used to build the RV was infested with POWDER POST BEETLES. The Beetles are very difficult to exterminate. The adults bore into the wood while the tree is still alive, or while the lumber is in storage. This wood, by law, must be treated before it is shipped to the USA. Then it is used to manufacture products like RVs, Flooring, Cabinets, and Furniture. The powder post beetles take from 6 months to 5 years to emerge. So it is possible to have your home infested without even knowing it. It cost thousands to try to exterminate the beetles. This brings me back to my problem. At first Forest River refused to do anything about the beetles in my brand new 2021 camper, which is still under warranty. After complaining to the NCDOJ, forest River took responsibility for the infestation of my camper but did nothing. They still refuse to replace this camper. I have a deadly lung condition. I am afraid to have the camper treated with Bora-care. I still have one lung left and I refuse to use a contaminated camper. I paid for a new camper, not one that can kill me just by breathing. And they are telling me it is safe to use this camper and if it is not bug-free they will treat the camper again. (WITH MORE CHEMICALS) Forest River doesn't care if the beetles spread to my house while packing and unpacking camping supplies. They don't care if, at age 72, it is too much work to clean everything I take out of the camper before I can take it into my home. They don't care if suddenly my house is worth nothing because of powder post beetles. They also have not fixed this problem which they created. Welcome to the reality of what FOFEST RIVER cares about. The stockholders. NOT THE CUSTOMERS
