Forest River SALEM 27DBUD 27DBUD reviews

I've had seen a few people Is knowing an RV Tech Can sometimes be a bad thing cause I can see both worlds. Overall A beautiful trailer Built pretty solid but you still don't want to ever Stress the trailer out by using it too much. It's more just for a Get away for the weekend Overall very nice Looking forward to closing the deal they said it looks like I'm an 8 out of 10 likelihood to get it!!! I told them if I get it I'm gonna ring that bell so hard I might break it *cowbell* That leaves me with this why do cows have cowbells? Some would argue its because their horns don't work!!!!! I did My Sale In ES CAN ABA Michigan Show less

The layout is decent enough but I'll breakdown my likes/ and dislikes. I have had no big issues with it so far, 1 1/2 years of camping 4-7 days at a time, once a month. Design: I like the room the slide adds to the living space. Restroom could be a touch bigger for changing, hatch on drivers side is 9" tall, inside space is 20" tall - wasted space. Should come with a ladder installed for roof access. Build quality: There are too many things to list but I'll catch a few. My first trip I had to move my camper because the 30Amp power cord was in a knot in the holding area from the factory and would not reach the outlet, sawdust in the floor vents, bad alignment on cabinets to walls, door catches falling off, sharp corners on kitchen table, blinds fall down from crooked mount every time we tow... I feel like this is the camper they have the new employees work on to prove they can handle the nicer campers. This is my third camper, and my first real let down every time I take a closer look. It's not a bad camper, it was just built poorly. Show less

Love the RV, easy pull and good floor plan. We have not been able to use enough because of surgeries and bad health. And we have more surgeries in the way in the fall. Includes many accessories: sway bar hitch, TV, satellite dish. Show less

Purchased new. We have not had any problems with the RV, it's our first and we really love it. We chose this model because of the layout, our room at one end and bunk-beds with a privacy curtain for our girls at the other end. Separate sink from the restroom and has a roomy horseshoe dining table. Toilet is a little cramped but how much time do you really spend sitting there? Lots of storage and most of it is accessible from inside. Craftsmanship is as good as you can get for the price. Keep in mind not real high quality material but it is working out fine just treat it as you would anything you work hard to buy. I would buy this same RV again. I pull with a F150 V8 4.6 with a harbor freight sway stabilizer bar and weight distribution hitch, also using electronic brake controller. It pulls smooth and straight the hitch is a must with an F150 not sure the sway bar does much but I feel more comfortable when 18 wheeler are passing me doing 75-80. Show less

We loved this trailer, which was our first. From the minute of hooking it up and towing it home the first time (with a 1/2 SUV), it towed straight and followed through turns as you would expect. The use of a brake controller helps with the braking such that there didn\'t seem to be any extra surging or pushing on the vehicle by the trailer when stopping. The layout is great and we spent several weeks living in ours while having some home remodeling done (3 kids and 2 adults). The sink outside of the bathroom is great so that people can use the bathroom while someone else is either washing up or brushing their teeth. I highly recommend the U-shaped dinette over the \"booth\" style; you have more room with the U-shaped seating arrangement and it does not feel overly crowded. There is plenty of storage in the 27DBUD, so that was never an issue. It is a great trailer that I would strongly recommend. Show less
