Forest River Toy Haulers Travel Trailer reviews

2023 Forest River Wolf Pack 24Gold14. I love this RV for its size and floor plan, but it tows absolutely horrible! I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 that has 9100 lbs towing capacity. This RV weighs 6500 lbs but it tosses my truck all over the road. Towing this is the definition of white knuckling. I had a friend tow it with his 3/4 ton and it was a little better, but it tossed that truck around as well. I believe the trailer has an inherently bad design with excessive tongue weight , extra tall and extra wide. If anyone else has experience towing this trailer, I would love to hear about it. I am planning to trade this in on a Jayco Hay Flight 265 TH, which is 1500 lbs. lighter and 300 lbs. less tongue weight. It is the same length, but is 2 ft. Shorter in height, and 6 inches narrower in width. Show less

I have tryed multiple times to reach out to Camping World in Wentzville Mo and they keep telling me they will call back, But no one does. They contacted my credit union about a trailer I wanted and My credit union told me thay would approve a certain amount . Then I told them I was interested and I needed to know What the total amount was going to be. I was told $36,489.00 .They were supose to get back and no one did even after I made several attemps to reach out to them. I talked with Robert and Jason James and others there, Im very disapointed sofar, when people tell me multiple times they will call back and dont, Make me wonder If they can be trus The next day I went down to Camping World and I understand why they did not contact me it's because they were swamped by customers. I ended up purchasing the camper through them I'm waiting for them to do small repairs on the trailer . Ok I really got screwed. the repair work I was concerned about on the corners of the slide out and other corners were not resealed and they reashured me it would not leak at all and they fully checked it out and every thing was fine. They refused to let me check the roof do to liability reasons. the damage on the slide out on the inside was hidden by new recliners so you could not see the damage. Here is the real kicker, they told me that the trailer was going to cost me 38,995.00 and my payments were only going to be $455.29 a month and did not tell me there was going to be a $42,957.20 Finance Charge. for the lone. total of $81,952.20 for a 2019 wolf pack 25pack12 travel trailer. If I would have known I would have left without it.I strongly beleave I got Really screwed over. People they do not have the customers best intrest in mind. they are willing to hide the damage and be dishonest just to make a sale, Jason James Rv Sales Associate helped Show less

Bought new. Was setting on the dealer lot for two months. We have had nothing but issue after issue from the decals coming off to tear in the floor to the refrigerator panel falling off in transport to the ac not cooling and even wiring. Yes went back to the factory but came back as bad as it was before. Never again will we buy a Forrest River product. Their warranty sucks and you are without the rv for a prolonged period of time while they still don't fix it right. Show less

Trailer floor plan is ok and pulls well. However, soft roof has leaked since it was 2 years old. Glue on roof came lose & roof started tearing. Factory would not cover under warranty because they blamed in on roof material & glue. Roof maker would not cover it and neither would dealer. Dealer reglued roof but $1800 & 2 yrs later roof ripped in same place & started leaking again. Very disappointed in manufacturer!! Was totally ripped off. Buyers beware. Show less

Purchased new 2022 Shockwave toy hauler Jan 2023 at CW Mesa, AZ. Dealer prep horrible. Fit and finish horrible. Quality control horrible. Hauled to campsite instead of going home to CO for Winter. First night and every one there after heater failed during night. Been 5 1/2 months and no one can fix. Numerous attempts by CW. Then picked up by Forest River and taken to CA factory for repair. Should do it right? No way Sent with list of about 20 other items also, some fixed, some half done and few they said no to.??? Heater was not fixed, they lost my keys and returned without the tables. After many e-mails and days I was told to find a dealer to take it to. They said they would ship me tables. Only reason they don't get negative 100 stars. So will have to update when and if I ever get a working heater. Other items that were defective: fridge wouldn't run on elec, showers, floor structural, carpet, windows. doors, underbelly, various trim. This thing is a bad 70K paper weight. I have stated my preference to return for a full refund. But once they have your $. So don't make my mistake don't give them the $ find a different brand. I already found mine, do the research. I can't even sell this thing until I find a tech that can fix it. A reputable co would take it back and deal with it and let me move on. Show less

We had purchased our 29qbx with the intention of going on a 6 month vacation. But after on having towed it 1200 miles every thing fell apart. And I mean everything the walls we collapsing the roof leaked the slides leaked there was mold growing under our mattress. The craftsmanship of these units is unacceptable and really sad. They should not be allowed to operate this way. Our trailer is currently at the manufacturer waiting to be “fixed” and I have lost all hope we only owned it for 4 months and have no idea when any thing will be done. The warranty team at xlr is about as good as the quality of their product after being pushed around for a month with little to no contact I asked to speak with a manager and have been stonewalled every time. Please save your money and your sanity and DONT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM XLR Show less

Toyhaulers don't come any easier than this! Simple, quick set-up and tear down. There is plenty of storage space including under the Queen Size Bed and the 2 benches. There is also Heaps of living space with room to add a prep table in the kitchen area, right in front of the huge window. Power levelers make things as easy as possible! The party patio is our favorite part, and causes many conversations with fellow campers. The power awning is another wonderful feature that makes this travel trailer EASY PEASY! Show less

The latest issue I have had is the two 50 gal water tanks bulging and falling out of the frame! I had to drill a hole in the tank to be able to lift it back up in the frame. I then added 2” by 1/4” straps (3 on each tank) to prevent this from happening. When I contacted Forest River warranty, they said take it to the dealer and they MIGHT cover it it was not overfilled. Evidently, they want you to watch to four lights on the control panel to determine when the fresh water is full…….I never heard of such a ridiculous statement. The tank is full when it comes out the overflow!!!! Then discovered one of the knife drains was blocked by plumbing pipe glue and the tank overwintered more than half full. So much for the new, state of the art quality inspection facility. I am not even going to go into the myriad defects I repaired when I took delivery of the trailer. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop to see what is next. We should have gone with the similar Stryker toy hauler trailer!!! Show less

This trailer is the biggest hunk of crap. I had 28 thing wrong after the first camping trip. It has taken 1 year and 3 months to get fixed. Do not buy anything from forest river .you will suffer...... Show less
