Forest River 26DBH reviews

Purchased camper 3 months ago. Got it home found are under bathroom full of water. Cut a hole in underbelly drained water, awning would not close properly, cup washer did not work, found 2 holes in roof, slide cables were sagging dealer said it was normal.. Dealer did pick up and repaired most but slide cables still sagging . We leased a camp spot at a campground parked camper for the season. Extended slide and slide cable mount bracket ripped off the slide the screws holding the plate were cut in half so they would fit and caulked. This is factory work🤬🤬 unbelievable… piece of junk once this thing is fixed we are getting rid of it and will never own another forest river product.. the warranty people are a joke and the dealer is also a joke Get a 3 rd party inspector to look over the camper before you buy it Show less

First impressing was that this trailer was created with great options and a great floor plan. However, the quality has been dissapointing. The first trip we took the awning arm would stay up and the plastic wheel/ fender flairs on one side starting flapping in the wind and the door seal was ripped. We made arragements with Colier RV to have the the items (except the fender flairs because they were still attached and we thought they were made to flap while traveling.) repaired. The repairs were made. Along with the oven that wouldn't light. In the way home the fender flair was now 1/4 hanging off the trailer 30 minutes in to my return trip home from Colier RV. 5 days after picking it up we left on a trip 4 hours up north. The second day in the awning bent from rain. The left side arm was fine, but the arm the tech at Colier had just tightened down to stop from sagging broke because the arm wouldn't move. Ofcourse Colier says it isn't their fault and I should contact the awning manufsctuer because the arm is defective. So now we have no awning, we had to manuver a 20+ long awning tube to our next destination where we camped another 4 days. We're in our 6th trip with this camper and it looks like it's 15 years old. The other fender flair unit is starting to slowly peel off so I'll have to come up with some idea to adhere two sides back on the trailer. We bought the unit for $36k and in its current condition well be lucky to sell it for half that. This will be our second F.R. Cherokee and it last. And that goes for Colier RV for not standing behind their repairs. Show less

This is our 2nd Rv. We just picked up new one 3 weeks ago. We had no pizza oven in it that was on invoice. Camper outdoor fridge was not working. It was taped closed and had all broken shelves and was not getting cold at all. Dealer took the fridge back and currently we are still waiting for warreny approval for a new one. Looking like end of camping season for a new one! Prep should of been done pre pick up to see it was broke and not working. Warranty should be approved right away for new one. It's a brand new camper. Let's get this issue fixed! We do love the layout although i think the back has way to many doors cluttered together. It's roomy and pretty on the inside. Great upgrade.

Within 6 months of owning the coach we started having numerous problems from lights not working , interior trim coming apart , ac vent rattling , pipes under the sink leaking and now a paint defect on the front cab which requires a full cab replacement. According to the dealer they could not get any warranty repairs approved from forest river for several months . This is ridiculous for a brand new unit. I will never buy another forest river product again. Show less
