Ernie and David in sales were a pleasure to work with, my only issue there I stated I wanted a hitch with weight distribution and sway control. Was sold a hitch being told we use this one all the time and has sway control. I have a serious sway issue so in looking for the cause spoke to Blue Ox and was told what I had was an entry level hitch and had minimal sway control. I believe it was lack of knowledge not dishonesty on sales part. After one outing and having a serious sway problem started looking for the cause. I found three of the four tires to have the start of broken belts. Contacted the dealer and was told by Jody in service he found that hard to believe and told me they couldn't just replace tires. He did give me the phone number of the warranty company so I could contact them. Upon further inspection I found hitch was installed incorrectly, spoke to Ernie who is looking into what can be done. Two days and no response. I paid 600 dollars for service I don't believe was done and purchased extended warranty with tire warranty. So on a 2022 trailer that was supposed to be serviced I'm out 600 plus for new tires and have to correct the hitch myself service department is an absolute joke and should be avoided at all costs. Seems once they have you money your on your own. Buyer beware of Manheim location. Hopefully the other two locations have better service

Awesome 29 ft Toy Hauler. NO problems at all, take care of it and it will take care of you. Your house will fall apart too if you dont maintain it. Floor Plan is well thought out. AC works Great,12v Fridge is awesome. We leave it plugged in to house when not camping. The fiberglass on the black label addition is so sharp looking. I don't see any reason for a bigger unit. I pull the 22RRBL with a 2020 Ram 1500 2wd Hemi Night edition with Tow pkg. I use a Blue Ox weight distribution system. Also awesome. No sway or Huck a Buck. I stay under 65 mph at all times. make sure your payload is correct and always check tires everytime you move Rig, We also use a TPMS on trailer peace of mind. We travel with a 92lb Labrador Retreiver aka Koda Bear

We took delivery in June of 2021 and were only able to use it 2 weekends. It had numerous minor issues that I was able to correct. This past summer we were filling the water tanks and heard a very loud "pop" and thought it came from a next door loading dock. We started down the road and a driver honked and pulled us over. We were dragging a metal support underneath (the loud noise). I was able to remove the other end of the damaged support. When we got home I crawled under to discover one of the water tanks fell out and was riding on the top of one axle. Contacted Forest River and they said to get it into the local dealer. Called them and the soonest appt. was 2 months! I crawled under and took down the coroplast liner and had to drill a hole in the water tank to empty it to be able to handle it. What I discovered was the water tanks were set in a narrow channel and when full would elongate and fall out of the channel. A design flaw! Took pictures and sent to Forest River and had several conversations/emails. They would not compensate me for materials or time to fix this issue. I asked for another year warranty extension. They flatly refused! This is zero money out of their pocket. We have a very short camping season in CO. and I could not wait 2 mos. for an appmt (end of August and our season) I had to make the repairs to be able to use the RV the remainder of our summer. I REINFORCED BOTH WATER TANKS WITH HEAVY STEEL CROSS BRACES AND NO FURTHER ISSUES. I would never consider another Forest River product again. NO customer service or willingness to stand behind their product! They tout their new state of the art final inspection facility. What a joke.

Warning! Anyone thinking of buying one of these units DO NOT! For the record, this is our eighth camper we have owned over the course of 20 years. We know the drill and have many experiences with manufacturers. Never have we been treated this bad before Stealth. Purchased our 2020 24' FB in March of 2020. First noticed massive water leak around rear window in Jan 2021. Went round and round with them for months! Horrible communication and follow through with their warranty department! Finally got a check in the mail for labor costs but never received any materials. We couldn’t wait any longer and began the repairs, FYI we are a registered repair shop. Holy Crap did we literally open Pandora's Box! The construction, fit and finish and lack of craftsmanship was appalling! Every window and door entry leaked and had voids in sealant! Throughout the whole unit, multiple fasteners were missing! The freshwater vent hose kinked and blew floor apart! The bathroom plumbing leaked. The roof was not properly reinforced for the Air Conditioner weight and almost fell through! And the list goes on and on. We have tried working with Stealth and was just passed on from one person to the next. I have a documented timeline verifying everything and how they totally dropped the ball in this disaster and yet they have the Gaul to tell us they will not cover their absolutely horrible construction of this unit. So now our goal... to make sure no one else gets burned like we did! I will be posting on all RV social mediate websites and forums. If you know of any others, please let me know. Anyone else with the same issue, please reach out to me, perhaps it’s time to start thinking Class Action lawsuit.

I've had nothing but problems with it , built horribly. Plumbing failed in many locations, shower door broke after first year , all fittings plastic . Cabinets falling apart , solar failed . Roof leaked after two years , all sunroof had to change out , fresh water tank replace . Entire undercarriage rusted . No galvanized anywhere. Generator issues since I purchased . Not worth the money! Don't buy it

My wife and I love our 26rr . I did have an issue with the water connection at the toilet. The inverted nut connecting to the foot operated valve was dripping water . I saw that the nut was only on by 1 thread and it was crooked, so I tried to tighten it by hand and it popped off. An incredible flood insued . By the time I shut off the water, water was running out of the side of the camper . Well when we returned home I removed the toilet and got a new valve from Amazon only 12 dollars, installed the valve and reinstalled the toilet. Thank god no damage was done to the flooring the water stayed on top of the linoleum . The next thing I did was to go over all the plumbing fittings in the camper, glad I did . I found a lot of loose fittings . The next thing I did was to get rid of the Chinese tires replaced them with Goodyear endurance tires and while I had the tires off I repacked all the bearings and replaced the seals . I noticed the the factory bearings had hardly any grease on them . Other than that it’s a very good camper. I load my Harley Electra glide rite in . A little scary because of the sharp angle but I bought a 7 foot ramp that I put on the edge of the ramp secured with jack stands . So now the angle is much less . I feel there should be better quality control when the camper is assembled and I would gladly pay extra for better tires . No China bombs

Sold my house to live it , gas done very well jee8us cool in summer warm in winter, just no counter space and bed room is way to small. It's done wein the winter and wind which I was scared of inThe beginning . Heater warms the tanks underneath the rv, they didn't freeze. The tank Indicators never worked and the battery doesn't run the basic . But all in all it would be good to go camping for a few days or weeks with a portable generator. Not badly made. I want to sell once I'm through, I don't have a use for it. Good luck.

I owned the XLR Nitro 351 for one and a half years. Where do I start with all of the problems that I had with this thing. The dealership that i purchased it from is 150 miles from my home and I found out quickly that my local XLR dealerships won’t do warranty work on this rig. Rather than travel 150 miles I elected to repair the simple things myself and had a mobile RV repair guy do the hard stuff. Day one when I backed this thing into the driveway the slide seals fell out on the ground. One of the slides made a horrible banging noise when it was powered out. Within a couple of months one of the cables on the kitchen slide broke. Mobile repair guy fixed it. This spring I had another cable break. The lights in the loft have no wiring running to them. One of the window trim pieces fell out on the highway. The led lighting was falling off of the awnings. The control wires on the refrigerator were spliced together at the factory with cheesy crimp connectors. The wires weren’t long enough so they spliced them. The refrigerator ended up breaking down. The garage entry door had a 2 inch gap at the top and would not latch. The gates for the patio railings were starting to come loose and bend due to their weight. The mesh on the patio was damaged at the factory and it looked like someone walked on it at the factory as there were boot marks on it. The fireplace fell out going down the highway due to no bolts holding it in. The exterior panel on the underside of the overhang was falling out because it was cut too short. The list goes on and on. The quality of this rig was just atrocious. I am using the word “was” due to the fact that after a year and a half of chasing problems I traded it in. I have since purchased a new fifth wheel and when shopping I made sure I avoided looking at anything built by Forrest River.
