Forest River Sierra 5th Wheel reviews

The 35 ft 5th wheel tows easily. Like all RVs, the factory delivers them to the owner with flaws (unfinished work, poorly installed part and pieces, so.over the course of time the warrenty has helped solve these problems and Forest River was easy to work with and without hesitation, enabled repairs. The Sierra is a reliable RV with well thought out amenities, making for fun adventures! Show less

I purchased this RV used in Jan of 2022 and bought the best extended warranty offered. The RV was rife with issues. The plumbing is shoddy at best. The fittings are plastic and the cheap plumbing hoses were used. I replaced with brass fittings and PEX lines as the numerous leaks were identified. The slideouts busted the trim around them due to poor calibration or manufacturer defects. The slideouts apparently leaked into the subfloor and rotted it out. The dealership refused to repair the flooring. I have noticed on numerous legal sites and RV sites that slideouts leaking, even on new ones, is a MAJOR and CONSISTENT problem. Show less

We purchased a Forest River Sierra 3440BH In June of 2023, New never been used and some areas still had the fresh smell of new. We loved the floor plan, as we have 2 teenagers, and about to have our first grandchild from 1 of our boys, so it certainly will work for sleeping arrangements. Now for the best part, got it home and winterized it as camping season was over for us. We hooked up the propane and kept the tank heaters on and keep the indoor temp at 55 degrees. In March we de-winterized and begin to set things up for camping season. Well we found a lest of 19 items that were warranties' and the list goes on. To start the trim is peeling off the cabinets, screen doors are broke, toilets leaked water, sinks leak, bed trim fell off, black tank valve is stuck shut (can not use read bath room at all due to leaks and toilet/ tank), always smell like sewer, awing is falling off, curtains put on awkward or uneven, NO BRAKES! If i was to guess i would say a bunch of 5 year old put this camper together, unfortunately for us we can not take the camper back for LEMON LAWS as the do not apply. But this thing has to spend at least 2-3 months at the dealership to get repairs done for the warranty to work, all the parts have to come from the dealership. I WOULD NEVER IN THE REST OF MY GRANDCHILDS LIFETIME RECOMMEND THIS BRAND TO ANYONE PERIOD. Show less

This RV is exceptional! The space is great for multiple people, the balance is awesome and makes the towing experience seamless. The full size refrigerator and stove is really nice for cooking meals and there is a TON of storage space with this RV. I really love this RV. Show less

Trying to get the warranty work covered was like pulling teeth! The brakes didn't work, shower leaked, entry door was dented, furnace quit working the second time using it, so many design flaws. Forest River & Couches RV were no help, they wanted us to tow it in ( hello, I said no brakes, or brake lights)... it's still a mess! I would NEVER recommend Forest River (btw only 1 year old now).

Beautiful looking camper but... shower started leaking right away, many unfinished design spots, main door wouldn't shut right, it was delivered with the electric to the hitch/electric component broke (the guy delivering it said it never worked & we don't move it from where they delivered it). Also, have to go through Couches for the Warranty and it has been like pulling teeth to get the repairs taken care of (remember we can't tow it, because NO ELECTRIC to connect to truck so brakes lights don't work on- illegal to tow)...FOREST RIVER FOR GOD'S SAKE HELP!!!

Our family of 3 lived in our Forest River Sierra 3440BH for a little over a year. We brought it many places while traveling across the country. We set up our daughter in the rear bedroom with a crib and then later a toddler bed after we removed the factory queen bed. The rear bedroom has a top bunk which we used for storage. We felt like we had lots of room and loved the island in the kitchen when we were cooking. We added a countertop extension which added lots of room when cooking. Overall, we loved this camper and it was great to travel with and also live in full time. Show less

Terrible warranty support. Purchased two days ago and have a leak from the shower. Unable to take it to the dealership as we live in it. Warranty will not cover service call and they will only reimburse for repairs and parts. Unbelievable way to treat your customers. One star for warranty and customer service. a Show less

2022 model...Bought in Ohio as price was much better than Florida. The bottom literally fell out on first day coming home. I did road repairs to dropped panels, plumbing, and immediately needed items to continue trip. Took it to local dealer who would accept warranty work on returning home. One month later, still sitting next to home. No response to repair company. I just left my final message. I will contact finance company and attorney on Monday if no response. I have time and resources to make trouble for poor service companies! Show less

Bought and took possession of 2022 Sierra 321RL on 3/12/22. Noticed some small things like crooked light switches when we picked up the unit. Was told this came from the factory that way. Once at home we had time to really inspect the whole RV. Although at first glance the luxury rv looks nice but then we noticed it appeared whoever assembled it at the factory just threw it together. More very obvious crooked light switches, very crooked floor vent, bathroom door would not latch, inside steps were loose and very creaky, main door would not shut without being slammed. Then once we plugged in our surge protector it threw a code that there was a missing neutral at the couch ( one of the plug wires was loose). Although some of these issues seem small it shows very poor quality work and like the unit was quickly thrown together without any type of quality control on Forest Rivers part for an rv that cost almost $80,000. Very disappointed so far Show less
