Forest River Keystone Summerland Series reviews

Bought a brand new unit unfortunately in the middle of winter in MN. This is the worst RV for quality ever. Nothing worked. Plumbing in the back bathroom wasn’t finished, rotting wood in the other bathroom, bunk pieces falling out, AC in the front has never worked properly, side walls in the bedrooms are all flexing and making noise, sawdust all over the place, fridge didn’t come with a water drip tray, cabinets above the seats bottom are all falling out, the bunks ceiling wasn’t nailed up right, the shades not put on right, you can feel bumps under the laminate where is wasn’t cleaned before installed, back tv was installed broken, scratches all over the sinks in the bathrooms, jacks didn’t work right, front seat motor didn’t work couldn’t move it. This whole unit is just junk. Now the slides don’t go out. I just want my money back. This has to be a lemon. Show less

This was a great starter unit for us. We added the Sumo Springs and Safe-T-Steer which made it drive so much smoother and better. We had some bugs with the unit but we have worked them out. Very comfortable for a family of 4 but we have travelled with 6 with no issues. Show less

Backlight on tachometer is defective upon purchase new. I had to pay diagnostic fee ($165 + tax) to be told instrument cluster needs to be replaced. To do this, because the odometer is part of the cluster the Ford service center must keep the motorhome until a new cluster is ordered, made, delivered and installed so the odometer reading is accurate. Because Ford is having parts problems, I may not see my $155K investment for up to 6 months. When I said that is unacceptable and want the diagnostic fee refunded I was inform the any fees paid by me do not get “reviewed” and refunded until the job is completed! 😱 Show less

Enjoyed owning the 36B5 floor plan. The amount of living space and storage was great. The build quality was very good and driving it is easy. If I were to change something it would be to have a bigger awning than 12.5 feet. Show less

We owned a 2019 Georgetown 36B5 and while we did enjoy the 2 years we lived in it, it sure didn't start off that way due. The stock Ford F53 chassis does not handle very well which is why it didn't drive very well. The RV was greatly impacted by cross winds, other large vehicles passing and poor road conditions. Here is what we did to greatly improve the driveability of our RV Extras Added to our Georgetown 36B5 1) A steering stabilizer was added to help keep the steering on track 2) Another additional heavy duty sway bar was added to reduce the the body's desire to roll 3) A Trac Bar was added to help keep the RV running true. I believe this may have been the best thing we could have done. With all of the above extras added our Georgetown became much nicer to drive. Now this 8' foot wide RV doesn't drive like a car but the white knuckles days of fighting to keep the vehicle in it's lane are gone. In fact with all of the above improvements trips are now enjoyable and the driver can now enjoy the scenery along the way. Like I said we lived in this RV for 2 years and since I work from the road and required a internet connection a lot was done to help improve the RVs connection to the internet. A high gain cellular antenna was added along with a 4g amp to help improve the RVs ability to connect to the internet. Another feature we added was a Wingrad ConnecT 2. This unit will provide a hot spot for WiFi connections when it is connected to a cellular provider (We used AT Show less

I love the layout of this camper so much. With the slideout it feels so spacious as well as the little bar that has the sink and the huge booth that's able to fit 4 comfortably. I highly recommend for all seasons. Show less

Got the last of the V10 configurations. Added a steering stabilizer. Multiple electrical issues, cannot control HVAC with the crappy iPhone application. Factory warranty assist has been outstanding, however, the battery connect solenoid still drops out randomly. Hopefully my 3rd party warranty will help. Love the interior layout and 2nd bathroom. The couch is plush and with the replacement bed from our last motorhome, we sleep comfortably. It is a Forest River product, so you get what you get on the interior. Always get compliments on the exterior paint configuration. Show less

Epic Fail..drivers layout is horrible , steering doesn't have nearly enough tilt. Leveling system is lame. Coach rides like a coal wagon, 7.3 is under powered and the 6 speed trans does not downshift on hills unless it's in tow haul mode. Coach has extremely poor fit and finish. The TV are poor quality. For 226k sticker price this one highly polished turd. Show less

Coach and Forest River have been amazing. Drives like a dream with the upgraded suspension. Love having 2 bathrooms. No other has coaches have this. Kids love having their own space in the bunkhouse. The outdoor TV and speakers make you remember why you are camping. Show less

We love our 2018 Forest River Georgetown 5 Series GT5 31L5. This is the perfect gas motorhome. This is our second Forest River Class A. 31L5 is the best floor plan out there for a 34 footer. we have researched dozens of models. It has the largest open space inside, the slides come out farther then any other model. Fireplace is great for making you feel very at home. When in the snow the fireplace is the best for providing heat and does not use propane. you can leave your boots and gloves to dry and be ready for the next day. Largest water holding compared to other Class A for dry camping. The best cabinet and furniture colors. Most other new Class A cabinet/Flooring and Furniture colors look always dated. Full Paint Model is the best then colored fiberglass. Show less
