Forest River Salem Toy Haulers 5th Wheel reviews

This Toy Hauler has been awesome. It has plenty of space and I don't notice it behind my truck which is amazing for the size. I have put three full sized "baggers" in the back and routinely put several ATVs in it to go camp in the mountains. The separate front bedroom keeps me and my wife separate from everyone else and keeps the mess hidden if we don't feel like making the bed. Show less

My husband had the idea of us living in an RV while building our house. Honestly I was not crazy about the idea. Then I saw this RV and my response, "That I could do!" This RV is so very nice and spacious. The refrigerator is huge compared to others I've seen. Plus it has a large freezer space too. The shower is full size and we installed a washer/dryer. The TV is so nice and large and the seats are very comfy. We lived in this RV for over a year. Whether you are wanting something for fun weekend trips, or something more long term, you've got it right here! Show less

I read some saying the quality isn't that good, you need to realize these trailers are built to be lite. That said we love our toy hauler, we don't haul any toys in it other than bicycles, we got it for the room. Nothing worse than being cramped up in a trailer in bad weather. I've been down dirt roads with mine and take it real easy traveling and then I see people flying down these roads and there probably the one's complaining the doors come loose and so on. I take our trailer into the dealer every year and let them do a check on the whole thing, so if you take care of it, these trailers will last you. If you want great cabinetry and really good quality than you better plan on spending 60 grand or more. Show less

Bought new in 2020. Have had several issues. Drain under sink in kitchen wasn't connected, husband fixed that, grey water tank was not hooked up correctly, husband fixed that, dealer didn't install the two batteries that it was supposed to come with for the auto leveling, had tech come out 3x to finally figure out what was wrong then bring battery out, floor in bedroom is sinking ,the floor is bubbling up and now mushrooms are growing through the bedroom floor at the stairs.. worst camper we have owned this is our 4th camper. Done with this one. Show less

We recently purchased this Travel Trailer Toy Hauler and because of the time of year we aren't yet able to use it but waiting patiently until Spring. The layout works perfect for us, Forest River could diffidently do better on quality Control. We noticed a few things that could have been installed better if they just slowed down and did it right but over all for the price you can't expect perfection. I will do another review once we start using it in the Spring of 2022. Show less

I cant say enough about this 5th Wheel. My son and his family are having a house built and have lived in it for 2 months. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 kitchens (inside and outside) 4 pop outs, awning, lots of storage spaces and a bbq attached. It has been a wonderful addition to the family. But now, its time to say goodbye to our dear care taking 5th wheel. We are thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful home for the time we all needed. It is hooked up and ready to show. Family is leaving 11/12/21, where at that time, feel free to drive off with your new adventure. Show less

We have absolutely loved camping in this RV. We made it our own so it would feel comfortable, warm and welcoming. We have had many people come camping with us over the years and everyone says it feels like a real home. Only reason we are selling is because we are downsizing. Show less

Since we purchased our trailer in November 2020 it had been in the shop off and on more than we had it. It started with ramp not level and water coming in, then a busted pipe in bathroom. We noticed nail holes on roof and outside walls due to poorly made and poor inspected. The slide out was not secure or sealed property, all the tires were bad, some were already separated. A most importantly now the floors were not laid correctly, it has been in the shop for 4 months waiting to be repaired. We will never buy another forest river product. I can tell the service department people are trying to help but it seems like they have such a influx of bad campers being made that their repair shops are over run with need for repairs. We have missed the whole summer with our camper. It is such a disappointment for our family and a big loss of time and money for us. Our camper when in the shop on February 6 and is now at the second repair shop. We are so sad that we are making payments on something we have not been able to enjoy. Show less

Worst production quality of any new product I ever purchased. Button came apart spilling vent tubing on road on first trip out. Black tank flush inlet not event attached to tank. Dump releases miss-labeled. Steps jumped rack and deployed on road first trip. Power stabilizers useless, have to purchase more. Power awning useless over 5 mpg wind. Skirting over wheels not supported, shook loose ell off on first road trip. Show less

5 stars all around, I gave no stars on warranty and service as we purchased it pre-owned with no warranty, etc. It is a great value for the money and if I had it to do over again, I would not change a thing. Show less
