Forest River Rv Aurora Light 16BHXpage=2page=2 reviews

We have used the camper twice since purchase. The second time we did water and electric hook up. When we went to use the water all the lights dimmed to almost of and the pump sounded horrible. When you use the led light under the awning all of the marker lights are on also. The stove vent flap door and cover when missing when we received the camper the dealer did replace that but while towing the camper home the cover came off again and is missing some where. The dealer will not put in for warranty work for the water pump until spring of 2024. So sad dealers want the sales but won’t do the service. Purchased at blue compass in Albany new York formally Albany RV. Show less

Absolutely love the massive storage capacity and the ease of use of all of the internal and external controls. Did extended stay in this fifth wheel and never had issues maintaining comfortable temperatures despite the exterior weather. Jacks/leveling and moving this RV around was very easy. Truly only lacking in a washer although one could always buy a portable to put in the shower. So many small features in this RV added up to a very comfortable homey feel. The versatility of having three propane tanks in the storage bay is unbeatable. Show less

I have owned this motorhome since I bought it new in 2019. I have driven it from Seattle to Disney World, and to the national parks of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana and many places in between. I have 37k miles on it and have lived in it since shortly after I bought it. As far as manufacturing and assembly, all the important pieces work well except for the refrigerator. When it was a few months old, we had a torrential rainstorm in Salt Lake City and the refrigerator outside panel was not installed properly. As a result water poured into the refrigerator workings and it was damaged. After warranty repair, it works acceptably but ice cream will get a little soft in very hot weather. Other than that, a few small trim pieces in the coach were not installed correctly. I have had no other issues with the generator, the furnace, the two wonderful air conditioners, and the three TV's which are Furion. They have excellent pictures and one is very large. I tow a Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk behind it and it does fine. I have had no suspension work on it and I find it very controllable. The only time I get white knuckles is when I am going over a narrow bridge with opposing traffic. The motorhome is wider than some of the lanes on county roads and it is tight on some state highways. I read about people who have all kinds of trouble but I think it is just like buying anything, some people are not lucky, and some people are. I replaced the king mattress that came with it with a memory cell mattress, and I sleep very well in it. I have two big dogs, and they have plenty of room to stretch out. I love my FR3 and it works great as a home I can go almost anywhere in. I would highly recommend it for its relatively low price and its reliability, as well as its comfort. Show less

I've enjoyed the RV, it's very spacious and comfortable even through winter. Great for families with children, bunk beds are a great plus for having guests stay . The open living quarters are comfortable and the hideaway tv gives lots of kitchen counter space. Loved using the fireplace in the cooler nights. The outdoor kitchen is another plus for extra space.

Fantastic design and layout, easy accessibility to vital components and use of quality products. Cruiser Tech support is great as well. Quality fiberglass lamination, roof membrane is secure, smooth and sealed properly from factory. Side skirting has ample supports and electrical connections are all made securely. Overall although not a high end unit, it was built well, and shows the integrity to last for its intended time. Show less

Bought this as we thought it was a well built Fifth wheel with a good floor plan. Have had issues with the living room slide since we bought. The Dealer had no idea how to repair a unit with the cable drive system, even though the dealer was a certified Open Range dealer and repair shop. In fact, they made the problem worse. I have contacted Highland Ridge and BAL, the company that manufactures the slide system to no avail. I am sincerely disappointed in Highland Ridge and Jayco. Getting parts for the slide system is horrible. Currently the unit is with a private repair company that is trying to fabricate a repair for the unit. He states the system has a terrible design flaw with the slide being too heavy for the cable system. The only advice I can give is to stay away from Highland Ridge Open Range units with the BAL slide system. We bought this unit for our retirement and it is a shame we have missed camping trips due to this issue. I had always heard that Jayco stands behind their products, but this has not been the case for us. Jayco bought out and has manufactured Highland Ridge Open Range units since 2014. Show less

Been a very good RV. Finishes are nice, layout is great with kids. Tows great with my 1/2 ton truck. Would be nice to have a little more storage but overall been a great trailer. Heat in the front bunkhouse is a little hard to regulate with the furnace being so close but an adjustable vent easily cures the issue. Show less

We have owned our RV since new in 2018. The first major issue was with the kitchen slide, it would not go back in when the unit was brand new. After having the motor replaced, it works however it continously goes out of synch. It needs support and an extra push when we pull it in. We have traveled the country in this RV and actually love the layout and space it provides. However, the support from the manufacturer is null to say the least. The furniture is now splitting which is a sub par company that the manufacturer works with. We have soft spots in the floor which we have been advised are due to "high traffic" area, not sure what part of a 27' unit wouldn't have high traffic. Bottom line the floor apparently is only warranteed for 1 year so we are on our own. We love RVing and spend months out on the road, so in shopping for our next one we will use these lessons learned to ensure we do not have similar issues. Show less

The trailer looks beautiful but, looks are deceiving. This trailer is a piece of junk. We bought in late 2019 and haven't been able to enjoy it for a full season since we bought it. It went back to the manufacturer...., Twice! The very first time we took it out, the kitchen slide out wouldn't go back in. The dealership sent it back to the manufacturer with a list of problems they felt needed to be repaired. The manufacturer fixed the slide out and nothing else. Of course the manufacturer didn't agree with all of the problems identified by the dealership, and sent it back to the dealership, only to have the dealership reject it and send it back a second time. Since we've had it, the fridge quit working and we've two leaks in the water system. By the time I retire in six years, at the rate it's going, the trailer won't be serviceable enough to take anywhere. Save your money, don't buy Open Range. At just over $4000.00, even the extended warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on. Our first and last travel trailer. We're fed up, we're selling this piece of shit! Show less

We have only used the camper 2 times for a couple of days each. The camper floor plan is set up well. Enjoyed our time out in it. It pulls easy and set up is a breeze. The outdoor kitchen is so convenient. We added the outside tv. Show less
