Forest River Forester Classic 2501TSpage=2page=2page=2page=2 reviews

This was one of the best purchases for our family. We are a family of 6 and using this RV for camping or extended road trips was as easy as it could get with the variety of seating arrangements and seatbelts in multiple locations throughout the coach. Also having full access to fridge, pantry, and bathroom makes the need for multiple stops along the way a thing of the past. Show less

I bought this motorhome in May 2024. I have stayed at 33 campgrounds in 18 states. I have lived in it full time for 2 months now, and it has been very much a home for me. The bedroom is large enough to live in with plenty of storage. This thing has so much storage in the cabin and underneath I am not even remotely close to using it all. Show less

I purchased this 2025 new RV and I’ve had one issue after another with it. Every time I’ve taken it out, I’ve discovered something else that’s broken. The RV part- I’ve had 2 major leaks (one had to be sealed on the roof and of course it didn’t come with a ladder to fix it!). The shower not being properly installed, windows leaking and one window is the wrong window (it’s too big for the space so it bows and you can see light coming from the edges), the putty they used to seal the nail holes turning yellow as though it’s old, the modem in the Winegard having to be replaced, outside door locks being installed upside down or not locking, the generator struggling to turn on or randomly shuts off, the front door not closing properly (both screen and outside), and I had to replace the “stainless steel” sink because it was rusting! The truck- 2023 Mercedes diesel chassis (a 2 year old chassis?!). I’ve had issues with the key fobs - it won’t “push to start” without it being manually plugged in, the engine going into limp mode during drives and losing oil, the e-brake not letting up without toggling it many times, and overall squeaky sounds when driving forward and backward when parking.

This travel trailer has everything, thats a fact. Unfortunately every time we use it, we think "why the heck didn't they put it right" The quality is tge worst I've ever seen ln an RV Everything is fitted with Brad nails or staples (screws might have been too expensive) Overall built quality 2/10 Insulation 0/10 AC 0/10 Bathroom quality 2/10 Shower 1/10 Kitchen 3/10 Range 0/10 (boil don't cook) Outdoor kitchen layout 9/10 but quality 1/10 Show less

Have had nothing but trouble with this $100,000 piece of crap. Have to use a stick to push feces down the ledge under the toilet. Marvelous! They told me to grease it up and use more water to flush. Great for dry camping, right? First time we pulled it onto a campsite we had no hot water. Couldn’t get any help from the dealership to correct until 3 weeks later. Now we’re here 2years later and we have no hot water again. It was fine before we left to get here . If someone built a house like this they would be sued Show less

Great Class C RV for a budget friendly price. For under 100k I don't think there is any other Class C on the market with this many features at this size and quality. The ability to comfortably sleep 8 is a win/win. The Godzilla Ford engine carries this RV smoothly down the road and with it's larger size it's still easy to maneuver into spots. Show less

After visiting 49 of the 50 States and travelling some 140K we downsized from a Winnebago diesel pusher Tour 40 Ft. to the Forest River Forester 3011 DSF which is 32.5 Ft. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised the way this RV handled and towed our Ford Focus car. We have driven over 16K with the rig and it has been a problemless experience after the initial shakedown when we had to replace the 12v fridge and automatic jack module.. The rig is comfortable to live in and with all the ameneties of the more expensive class A RV's. Unfortunately my wife is in ill health and will be unable to travel anymore and that is the reason why we are selling. Alas all good things have to come to an end. Show less

We bought it new from an RnR RV in Liberty Lake, WA. January 2022 and we are still trying to get the unit fixed so we can use it. I would never recommend this unit, RnR RV, or Forest River. This is a very poor example of quality and workmanship. My unit is still in the dealers shop and has been there most of the year I've owned it, very disappointing !! Show less

I have my 3011DS since mid May 2022. It has had so many problems that it has been in for repairs for more time than I have had to use it in the 7 months. Now both A/C units won't come on and I am stuck getting it repaired again. The tech thinks it could be the power converter, but who knows. I hate this hunk of junk. As soon as I can it it home I will be selling it. NEVER AGAIN FOREST RIVER WILL I BUY YOUR PRODUCTS. YOU SELL GARBAGE!! LET THE BUYER BE WERE. Show less

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
