Forest River Rv reviews

The Ford F650 chassis this super c is built on makes this rig very easy to drive. It is a very rough ride for anyone behind the driver seat however. We will be upgrading the suspension ASAP. On paper nexus seems like the right company to build these rigs, but in reality their execution matches every other garbage builder in competition to see how much the customer will pay for less and less craftsmanship. Starting with lack of sealant EVERYWHERE. No exaggeration i have spent 3 weeks crawling every inch sealing where they missed. We had water intrusion in every storage cabinet and all along the bulk head where the cab meets the living space. There is no protective coating to keep rust away from their exposed "steel cage construction " under the rig. Chafed wires in and around everything that needed to be repaired. The roof top ac units do not line up with the roof ducts and result in poor air flow. When welding the leveler to the frame they melted a factory ford wire bundle. There are screw holes in the floor where it seems like the tried to mount the cabinets then decided to move them. It wasn't until after my high preassure rushed purchase from the general rv that I realized my truck didnt come with any of the standard features marketed on their website (power mirrors, air ride seats etc). It feels like we bought the prototype proof of concept model built on a left over chassis. The premium full body paint they are so proud of is super thin with orange peel and over spray throughout the rig. I have purchased and replaced multiple plugs caps and body panel gromets that were taken out for painting and not reinstalled. There is a huge gap in quality of details for a super c class rig. Overall we are happy with the design and layout but if I could go back I would have selected a different manufacture. Yes this is a brand new rv and under warranty but if they didnt do it right the first time, how long will it take if at all to get it right the second time. Show less

Great floor plan, optimum size and layout for hauling and hosting a young family. Generous fresh, grey and black water storage. Great patio conversion, kitchen and decent seating area. Probably the worst assembly quality out there. Customer service turnover rediculous bordering on morons. Leaks because of incorrect sizing of fittings, thrown together hoses. Fuel station problems, NO STORAGE. Additionally bad wiring in control panel. The componentry is excellent but assembly the worst! It's a shame since it could be the best RV out there. Another Berkshire Hathaway company gone wrong! Show less

This unit was a nightmare to start with. Lots of issues with the slide blowing fuses. Dealership was unable to figure out why but I did. It was adjusted wrong and dragging hard on one side. It is also cleverly designed to lock you out of the bedroom when it is in. Can you guess where the fuse box is. Yup, in the bedroom. Other issues were warping doors on the outside. Also the easy to change water filter is practically impossible to change due to being so deep into the compartment that you need 8 foot long arms. Have to take apart panels in the bathroom to get to it. Also the area if filled with sharp metal shaving and wood splinters. Just a lack of pride in workmanship. Show less

This trailer has been great no real problems In our. 5th year still going strong you do have to maintain it just like a home things are going to need some work keep in mind trailers are built to be light not indestructible . So if you’re looking for something you’re never going to have any issue with I would say RV life is not for you Show less

** WORST RV PURCHASE EVER ** This is my 3rd RV, (2 from McClains And now this Forest River Sabre from Fun Town). I purchased this Supposed state of the art fifth wheel unit with the side patio at the cowboy stadium event back in April 2025. This unit was the number one hit at our first RV outings with several of our camping groups. In 12 calendar months, we have only been able to use this unit three times. After each outing with the unit, there were problems and issues with the unit and after all three outings, we would IMMEDIATELY take the unit back to fun town RV in Cleburne, Texas. With the first & 2nd Repairs in April 2025, it took approximately four months for all repairs to eventually be completed, (To be fair, they did allow me to come pick the unit up for a weekend event we had previously scheduled, and I immediately brought it back for the repairs to be completed). Those repairs were eventually completed August 9, 2025. We made our third trip in the trailer, to Galveston, Texas the last week of December, 2025 and departed the RV park January 6th 2026, where we immediately drove from Galveston, Texas to Cleburne Texas to drop the unit off because of, once again, breakdowns and issues with the unit. The unit had several issues, but, the main primary issue was a defective black tank that needed to be replaced. With this issue and all the previous issues where it took them so long to repair, the fun town dealership kept encouraging me to reach out to Forest River so that I, the customer, could have them speed up the approval process and the sending out of the parts process because, fun town said that’s what they were waiting on. I was basically put in the middle and forced to try and be my own advocate & facilitator to get my RV unit repaired between fun town and Forest River. As of today, April 16, 2026, my unit is still at the fun town dealership. They did receive the black tank two weeks ago, but, it still has not been installed. I was initially told, several months ago, that when the tank comes in, I would be made priority and they would rush my unit in to get it fixed and that it should only take about five hours. I contacted the service manager yesterday, Andrew Allegra, and he advised my unit has been in the shop for eight days, but that, he could not understand why it has not been completed yet. He advised me that he would get on it today and he apologized about the delay and he advised that he will check into the reason why it has taken so long. With my unit being in the shop for so long, my one year Unlimited warranty ran out last week. Fun town advise that I should reach out to Forest River to see about them extending my warranty since my trailer has been in the shop for OVER six months of the 12 months, I have owned it. I just contacted Forest, Rive, owners relation department, and spoke with a representative there by the name of Miss Randy. I advise her of the situation and am requesting an additional six months of unlimited warranty for my unit since I have only used it three times and it has been in the shop for over six months of the 12. She advised me that she will speak with her boss today and call me back with an answer. With this last repair where the unit was dropped off January 6, 2026, these last 3 months has been so frustrating and inconvenient. We have missed so many camping outings, holiday outings, etc. because the unit that I am paying for, is not available to me. I have made 3 trailer payments, I have made 3 RV storage unit Payments, I have paid insurance for 3 months, but, I have not had any use of this unit. Unfortunately, I am locked in, contractually, to this unit until I pay it off. However, I will never buy again, nor would I ever recommend again to anyone that they purchase a RV unit from Fun town and also Forest River. Both companies are so unaccommodating when it comes to taking care of the customer post purchase. What we are told and promised pre-purchase, does not match the care we will get post purchase. I feel scammed and duped!!!!😤😤😤 Show less

This camper has been at the dealership since october of last year. It has a severe towing issue, where anything over fifty miles an hour and the trailer sways dramatically, and I feel like i'm going to lose control of my F450. Forest river does not return calls. We are two weeks away from putting our camper on our seasonal site.And we have no camper. I do not recommend forest river products Show less

I just got my 2026 campsite elite 36ak. Beautiful trailer 5th wheel with a list of problems that everyone should run away from. Don't waste your money! 118000 worth of problems. Here is a partial list can provide pictures and emails to prove. Windows leak snow and cold, floor repai done bad, fridge bracket does not fit so can lock when in travel, toilet wobble, frost comes through the walls not proper insulation, snow drifts on the floor, windows trim to hold them in was falling off, ac heat strips not there as was part of the deal, furnace not working proper , snow comes through the windows, power running through the pull out to me.a big fire hazard,seal not proper around pull outs and the list keeps going. We bought this at the Calgary rv show where the reps from forest river and rangelad told us how good of a fit this would be for us seniors. How warm it would be for us . We were there to get a good rv fit as a.fire destroyed our rv so with insurance we needed a new one . they knew of our predicament and just wanted a sale full of lies and miss representing it. They have our money. That is all that matters to them. Shame on.all of them and the ones who build these need to put a bit of effort into their products. A beautiful trailer that is worthless!

We purchased this unit used last year. The toilet in the back dumps into the grey tank that is the same rear tank for the bath sink, the washer hookup and the kitchen sink. That is so nasty. We contacted Forest river and they said they didn't know about it as it was a long time ago. We did several flushes with colored water to confirm this was correct. What a health hazard. Needless to say we will not be using the rear toilet. We flushed it out till it was clear. If you purchase a camper with rear bath, make sure it has a rear black tank. Show less

So far I have either made all repairs myself or hired out the repairs. First year 2022 1. No seals on the kitchen refrigerator/fireplace slide out. When I closed up the unit for winter I could see the grass outside on each corner of the slide out. Repair by the dealer. 2. No hole cut for the bedroom door deadbolt in the door frame. I had to router the aluminum frame myself to get it to actually work. 3. The floor under the recliner and table fell out when I closed the slides. Repaired by the dealer. 4. Checked RV first winter to find squirrels living in it. Found holes for water/drain lines not spray foamed on bottom of frame. Fixed myself, no more squirrels. 5. Kitchen faucet was leaking, not properly installed, fixed it myself. Second year 6. Had mice inside water heater compartment, not inside the RV. Found unsealed holes behind the water heater I had to use my cell phone camera to see. Spray foamed myself. 7. I used FLEX SEAL tape make gaskets around the hydraulic rams where they penetrate the frame to keep mice from getting in the under belly pan. 8. FACTORY is horrible and will not return phone calls.

We must have looked at dozens of RV trailers before purchasing the Intech Sol Eclipse Rover. The only disappointment is that most of the cabinet trim is literally falling off the cabinet bottoms and sides. Our RV was used twice and stored in a covered storage. I was shocked when i found the trim laying everywhere. The worst wasn’t that apparently bad glue was used , after contacting the dealer AND eventually Intech neither would stand by their product or even provide info on what glue to use. Very disappointed in their warranty and customer service. Trim should not peel off in one year especially when we kept the trailer immaculate and in covered storage. Intech even admitted they’d had many complaints about this issue 🙁 Show less
