Review is of 2021 no-bo 19.6 - model was not listed so I selected 19.8 which is a very simular floorplan. The best description I could offer is that on paper no boundries trailers should be amazing. In reality they some of the worst built trailers in the industry. Issues we have had (or are still trying to get fixed) in the last year and a half of ownership are. Kayak roof rack ripped up leavingany holes in roof. Water pump head cracked and flooded trailer (3rd use, not winter, no freeze) Shower base separated from shower surround Drawers fell apart Bottom of shelf near door fell in Replace blade rubbers after trailer was flooded from the giant hole in the slide rubber from the factory. High pressure side propane hose cracked creating significant propane leak. Soft spot on floor roughly 3ft by 3 ft. Hinges on Jack knife couch and fold flat sofa (Murphy bed) are bent Furnace was unsecured and moved freely Sofa back g fabric ripped across the inside top of couch exposing metal frame Bathroom vent fan not functional Do yourself a huge favor and look somewhere else. Forest river is terrible all around. Bad product, bad service, bad attitude. As an example of this I will share my experience with there corporate staff. I responded to a Instagram post were someone asked about quality. I replied with my experience and what had happened. I was sent a private message from no-bos social media team asking me for my contact info so they could make it right" I thought this was going to be where things got better but I was definitely mistaken. I provided them with my information and was contacted by Cody Schade. After a plesent 30min or so conversation he told me they were going to make it right, repay my out of pocket expenses and make sure it was all working and that he would call me back after he checked with warrenty to find out the best way to get things back on track. So almost 2 months later I hadn't heard from him so I shot him an email and that was ignored. After 2 months I sent another email asking for an update and cc'd a couple people he had cc'd when emailing me. I got a prompt email back simply asking me to call him. I eagerly obliged. This dude went ape shit on me, saying how they had determined everything was my fault (they never saw me, my trailer and only limited pictures although I offered more. He yelled and cussed at me because my number wasn't what "they" had on file....... well they did have my number and I had his, we talked over the phone, then again over email. He just wanted to sweep it under the rug. I told him how sorry I was that he was loosing control of himself and that I wish he would find some help for his anger issues. He just became more and more unwound. I guess when it's your job to stand behind a garbage product it must be very taxing. So that didn't work out. I was contacted a week or two later by someone else wanting to verify the list of issues I provided them was correct and I verified it for them. They were very happy to offer me $500 to repay me for all the money I spent to fix it and that I should have the rest repaired under warranty. I gently reminded that person that I spent way more than $500 and that still didn't address the biggest issues including holes in roof from their failed rack, soft spot on floor and the bathroom fan. Any of which are gonna be more than $500 by them selfs. After 3 weeks I haven't heard back so I assume they are just gonna wash their hands of it and hope I don't make too much noise. I really hope sharing my experience will help someone else not make the mistake of buying a no-bo like I did. If you did make the mistake and you would like to tell the self proclaimed head of no-bo how you feel then I suggest you call cody schade on his cell number at 574-903-9475

The 16.7 No Bo was perfect for our needs. Not too big and not too small... just right! The refrigerator kept the food cold and there was enough room in the freezer for meat and fish so we could carry a weeks worth of food plus keep drinks cold. The microwave/oven does more than just reheat food. It bakes and toasts too. The layout, storage and kitchen space was more than adequate for the two of us. We had no issues with anything in this travel trailer. It was easy to maneuver and fit nicely in camping spots in National Parks and KOA's. The AC and Heating system worked well and sometimes we just used the fan over the shower to draw in cool air. We didn't need any factory support. A more expensive trailer might have more bells and whistles but this is easy to tow and set up.

I was so fed up I tried to get their attention by posting this on Facebook: At my wits end with No Boundaries by Forest River. On Sep 17th, while coming off a 2,000 mile road trip to Yosemite, the rhino rack with tent and awning ripped off my No Bo 10.6 trailer, did 4 frisbee turns in the air and came crashing down into the fast lane of I93 between Las Vegas and Kingman. The weight alone (roughly 500 lbs.) would've killed anyone driving behind me. Luckily it didn't and skidded into the emergency lane. The lack of concern from the manufacturer has me stymied. I've been told it was a manufacturing defect but am unable to get any phone calls or emails back from their warranty/service department. This was installed at the manufacturer. I need to make sure all owners of a No Boundaries 10.6 trailer is aware of this as I do not believe any type of recall or notice has gone out from Forest River. Short of getting on a plane for Goshin, IN and sitting on their doorstep, I'm going to now blast this on Social Media. Please share as much as possible. I've also contacted 3 On Your Side, a Phoenix TV station that helps in situations like this. Not alot of pics but thankfully a very nice couple pulled over to help us load it into the back end of my truck. I've pretty much lost any confidence that this won't happen again as I've seen no proof of any root cause/corrective action. Again, please share! Update to this post: After 3 months of the worst customer service I have ever experienced with No Boundaries by Forest River, I decided to go talk to my salesman Tom's Camperland - Mesa. He was blown away by what I had experienced. In an effort to make things right, he gave me back full price on the No Bo 10.6 and gave me a great deal on my new T@B 400 Boondock. My nightmare is over. Although Forest River never seemed to care that their product could have killed someone, Tom's Camperland in Mesa did a great job resolving my issue. Adding pics of my new home away from home. Can't wait for my first adventure in it.

This camper is great for a family that wants to be out doors or potentially off the grid. We have been several place and loved every minute. It has everything we need to be comfortable but still be rugged enough to get out on the trail. The roof top tent adds sleeping for 2 additional people, my son loves it as his our private place. The batwing awning allows for a lot of shade on a hot day or covered outdoor space on a rainy one. The out door kitchen has plenty of space and tools to make cooking a meal easy and quick.

This product came equipped with the Rhino rack kayak holder. During our road trip had to adjust the "j-hooks several times as the wind caused them to shift. Had straps over each J-hook and additional strap through j hooks as well as a bow strap to tongue of trailer. Bolts from j-hooks to carrier bent and broke loose. Barely made it home only by securing with additional strap to carriage rack. Rhino Rack told me they could do nothing because product was engineered for a "stern strap". I explained the way it is mounted on the front of 20 ft trailer, there is no place to tie such strap. They told me they just sell parts to NoBo....not their problem. I told warranty dept. they have a potentially dangerous design problem and I have a kayak roof rack that is completely useless. They refuse to address the design flaw and left me to go pound sand! From the pictures I showed them they insinuated I ran into something. So how does that even work? I am completely dissatisfied at this point!

Any time it’s used something falls off the wall. Shower floor split, shower door fell off, plumbing under sink fell off. Smoke detector, blinds, shades etc. if you want a rolling pile of crap I will sell you one super cheap.

Wow, what a terrible experience I have had with Forest River NoBo 19.8. We bought this camper new in Jan of 2021. On our very first trip out, one of our overhead cabinet glass inserts was cracked upon arrival. Things happen, and I truly was not upset to begin with. After calling the dealer (Dave's RV in Claremore, OK) they were super helpful to get a claim initiated. I couldn't be more happy with the dealer. My frustrations began once Forest River got involved. My claim was immediately denied because forest river does not cover any glass damage. This RV was designed to transport from one location to another and failed to do so on our very first trip without sustaining damage. My family and I just spent 28K on a camper and manufacturer cannot even stand behind their product over a less than $100 dollar claim. This will be my last Forest River product, and I plan to tell everyone at every site that we stay at in the future about how they do not stand behind their products. So unfortunate that companies will do whatever they can to not be at fault. If you are in the market for any new Forest River product, please do your research and read the reviews before making a mistake like myself.

This is a warning do not buy this trailer. Everything fell apart. The microwave fell out while driving, three major leaks when its raining, all the cabinets disintegrating, shower leaking behind wall, axle bent, needed new bearings, sink fell out while full of water, wall bent, table fell apart, blinds already not working, and hey this was all happening week two of our first trip with this piece of junk. It only got worse by week four of our trip we had to give the trailer back to the dealership as it was getting unsafe. Now we are trying to get our money back on a unit that was not fit to sell. Shockingly bad workmanship.
