Forest River Salem Hemisphere Lite Reviews on RV Insider (7)
Avg. Rating

We have gone on 2- 2 month trips and have found the trailer to be very comfortable. It tows well since I added the second stabilizer bar. The tow vehicle was a 2010 F150 with the full tow package. It did quite well even in the mountains of Tennessee, West Virginia and North Carolina. We have had no problems with the Hemisphere.

Will the first trip we took was horrible,we had to put a pice of foam on the mattress so we could sleep(had that replaced).same trip could not put water into the holding tank,needed pressure,bought a pump.This was miner,second trip could not get side in,back to the dealer anther year wasted.Next year on retuning from a trip the slide would not go out,after looked at bya tech from t he dealer,back to the dealer which resulted in new slider which had to be ordered and a another camping year wasted.Next year had to return to the dealer for more adjustments another year wasted.Im sure glad I bought the extended warranty.Also had to replace the awning motor.now the inside had to replace worped cabinets doors and countertop.Had two good years without problems until now the slide is falling apart.Having said that we really like the RV it was a ideal size for us and that's way I'm leaning how to repair all future problems like the slide not adjusted properly which results in leaks and other poor workmanship.no more warranty and no more help from the dealer.Thank you,I hope this help someone( buyer be wear).

We have had several issues, none resolved. Cabinets have literally came off hinges, drawers have fallen apart. The power rear stabilizers stopped working in the first couple trips. Dining table when slide in comes in, hits and runs kitchen island leaving marks. Fridge uneven, freezes produce. Paid around $1,000 to get the wiring fixed, as the brakes were not working correctly. Bought new, just over a year old. No return calls from customer service or dealer. Beware.

We purchased this camper April 2017. We placed the camper in a campground out of state where we used it during the construction of a vacation home. This camper appears to be of good quality and craftsmanship. It has been inspected annually by a dealership under the lifetime warranty which includes sealing the roof and checking all mechanical aspects of the camper. We have been completely satisfied with this camper and have experienced no issues during ownership.

Love this RV only selling because we bought a house. This RV has tons of storage space, full size refrigerator, king size bed, large bathroom and tub, washer and dryer hook up and great kitchen with lots of shelves for spices, coffee etc.

Absolutely love this trailer!! Very functional floor plan and made very well! Sleeps up to 10. Has huge room in rear, perfect for the kids! Outside kitchen another plus! Saves many trips into the trailer while you’re out camping with your necessities right there.
