We bought this from the factory. We have had problems from the beginning. The bathroom door was messed up. Still is. Dealership did a shoddy job fixing it. They did not hook up the tv antennae at the factory. We have since found out they hooked nothing up to the tv and the dealership only hooked up the antennae. So the cable and satellite hookups don’t work either. It leaks in the rain when it’s closed. Haven’t figured that one out yet. The rubber seal over one slide out has jiggled itself loose. That’s taped in place to keep it there. The shower drain broke after like 4 uses. Things are screwed into the walls crooked. The cover on the water heater is cheap, cheap. Overall I will not buy another forest river product. It’s cheap. Kitchen has very few cupboards. I do like the floor plan. That’s it. Otherwise I wish I’d bought something else.

I picked this trailer because I liked the floor plan. I like the fireplace. The upgraded mattress is comfortable. That’s about it. Dislikes are numerous. No kitchen storage. Why are the kitchen drawers so short? Nothing fits. The outlet in the kitchen is installed crooked. They messed up the screw holes on the blinds. Just drilled new ones. Did nothing to cover old ones. The cover on the hot water heater is so cheap the screws don’t hold anymore. The shower drain broke because it’s weak. The air conditioners broke exactly one year after we bought it, the warranty was over. The bathroom door has never worked right. They must have driven it from factory to dealer open and banging around. They dropped screws and dirt between the bathroom cabinet and shower. Too narrow to really clean it out. The shower head is not a good one. Just so cheap. The seal on one slide out has had to be taped to stay in place. The outside fridge takes 24 hours to start cooling down. There are many other issues. I will not buy another Forrest river product. It’s just cheap junk that I paid a ton of money for.

Great floorplan and outdoor kitchen. Shower drain and outdoor kitchen drain are broken and have warranty recalls. Outdoor kitchen range had faulty pressure valve. Sitting slide seals leaked because factory install wrong size seals (took 4 repairs to fix). Wheels are 6-lug but it came with a 5-lug spare. Tires on the 2019 were dated 012018 and all blew out on our 2021 road trip. The left Lippert axle didn't have the locking cotter pin installed and the entire wheel and brake drum fell off in our 2022 trip (over $2,000 repair cost). No pipe thread on plumbing so it all leaked. Plastic faucets leaked after one year and had to be replaced. Bottom line? GREAT design and total shit quality.

This is a long term review. I purchased the unit new in 2014. In the time frame owned both tents have had to be repaired because of tearing. The front foldout had to be replace because of rotting and delamination after 4 years. The steps had to be replaced because they pulled out of the floor. To sum it all up . I love the floor plan. Tons of room and storage. Great for long trips. But the workmanship and quality are the worst.

We have had this camper for four years. We traveled from Florida to Maine on a three week camping trip one year. Another year we went from Florida to Northern Minnesota and over to Toronto Canada. The camper did awesome. Our family and young boys enjoyed the experience and all the bonus features of the camper from the power awning, to the stereo with DVD and Bluetooth, to the outdoor shower for easy cleanup. The camper has been good for us and has held up well. We had to use the warranty once for a minor issue. We didn't have any problems with that. Forest River is a good product.

We absolutely loved this camper for our family. The interior is modern and felt like a very chíc home away from home. The double bunks meant we had room to bring our kids and a babysitter, and our black lab dog had plenty of room to sleep. The large fridge and full stove were great for cooking. Best feature of this camper is how light it is. We were able to tow it without needing a heavy duty truck. I highly recommend this camper and would absolutely buy it again.
