Forest River Travel Trailers - Hybrid reviews

Great light weight trailer with sufficient ground clearance for lite off road use. my primary reason for this floor plan was separate bedroom with easy out on both sides with closets, electrical & USB. 2 entries, 2 batteries, 2 propane tanks, electric canopy, electric slider, electric lifts. Layout is can sleep up to 4 or 2 adults in living area and 2 in queen bed. Show less

We’ve had our trailer for 5 years now. We are moving in to a 5th wheel trailer as the kids have grown up. This bunk bed floor plan has been perfect for the 7 of us to take on many 🏖️ beach and camping ⛺️ trips comfortably. It pulls down the road nicely. It has TONS of storage area, a high porcelain toilet, privacy queen bed room and 2 doors! The blue indoor/ outdoor lighting was always fun too. It really is a good trailer for the family vacations and would definitely be livable in a park setting as well! I would recommend this trailer! Show less

Big living area as well as kitchen and sitting room. Nice large flat screen TV with Winegard tv/Internet dish roof mounted antenna. Lots of storage throughout the unit. Nice comfortable queen bed. Electric stabilizer jacks and a roof mounted solar panel. Show less

I purchased this trailer as the 3rd owner, lo and behold after purchasing and spending our first summer I quickly realized how cheaply this trailer was made. With in our first summer we had to replace the thermostat, go around to all the cabinets and touch up nicks and scratches on the cabinets as the material that they are made out of is like cardbord. I have had to replace the city water hookup and the seal was not holding anymore. Overall build quality is terrible, looks pretty but let me tell you, the quality for what you pay for is not there. The best part is the tanks and plumbing, I got under the trailer to inspect the tanks, wow I couldn’t believe what I seen. Litterly two thin metal straps hold up a 40 gallon water tank, the black and gray were the same. Then the plumbing, all the linens are held up with plastic tie wraps, really is this grade school construction WTH! ! The heat vent were full of wood saw dust. Yes far as towing goes a small compact car could tow it because the thing is made out of recycled material and only weighs 6100lbs. Oh and storage, ha ha ha. not very much for a 30’ trailer. We had a 1995 Terry 5th prior to this and let me tell you everything about that trailer was better. But it did weigh in at a hefty 9500lbs. We would have kept it, but the parks are not allowing trailers in under 10yrs old, which really sucks because that 1995 was an amazing trailer. Built to last and had everything we needed. Morale of this review guys, do your homework before purchasing and do a complete under over and all around inspection. Great thing is we are in a great park, I am pretty handy so my plan is to do some upgrades and get the plumbing all mounted with pipe clamps, thinking about adding another window as we don’t get a lot of sunlight in the trailer. Good luck in your search, be mindful. Show less

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

The 2509S has many features packed in a smaller package. The Queen Murphy bed makes it easy to use the available space for either sitting or sleeping. The bunks provide sleeping space for 4 since they are double bunks, and the kitchen table folds down to a bed as well. There is plenty of space for 2 adults and 6 kids, or 8 adults who can cozy up. Or you can sleep 5 adults very comfortably. The towing is smooth with dual axles and electric brakes. The heavy trailer doesn't feel that way behind the tow vehicle with a proper equalizer hitch. With the off-grid options, this trailer can stay out for a week easily. The solar quickly charges the batteries, and the batteries have enough power to keep things running at night. With the max air fans, the need for AC is almost non-existent, especially at night. Show less

Owned this Travel tr for two years now, one small issue with spare tire ( goodyear replaced under warranty @ no cost) . Owned three T/Ts in 16 years . Rockwood well above others for build quality. Upgrading to larger model due to retirement. Will only shop for rockwood. Although they are under the Forrest River brand. Rockwood/flagstaff was original company purchased by Warren Buffet many years ago. All other F/R products are built elsewhere in the country, but rockwood trailers are still made in original factory.

Buying a Forest River product was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. We've had constant issues—starting with the slide-out, which has never worked right, trim falling apart, water leaks, and more. Reaching out to Forest River is useless—they don’t return calls, emails, or show any concern for their customers. When we took our unit in the first time, the tech told us the slide-out hole was cut wrong from the factory. Not long after, that guy was mysteriously gone—seems like he was let go for telling us the truth. Dealers are clearly forced to downplay the problems and claim it’s just an 'adjustment'—but it's a manufacturing defect, plain and simple. Total disappointment. Show less

Our family of 4 (2 Adults & 2 Tweens) LOVED this RV. We use it for state park camping, and visiting different RV Parks & Resorts. All sorts of weekend escapes and vacations! We used our SUV to pull it and didn't have any problems with towing the trailer. We really like the space we get when the slide is out! Show less

I bought my camper Dec 21st 2024. I was on the road to live out of it for 2+ months for my job by Jan 15 2025. When purchased, I was told to leave winterized for the trip, due to having a tank less water heater and driving in below freezing temps. In My 7 day drive, my vent from the stove, flew off from the outside, the lid to my propane cover flew off and my caps to the back bumper flew off. I get to my destination and I called RV Mobile for repairs, left a VM asking for a return call. This was Jan 23rd. On Jan 24, I had my water filled up and we were flushing out antifreeze and water was spraying everywhere. We shut everything down and I called RV Mobile again and left another message. 4 days go, and I still have not received a return call. I called back, asked for Manager. Now I have an apt! Water Pump is broken right out of the gate! They order a new part, it comes in. The week they were supposed to come back, my fridge starts with an E4 code. Now, my fridges isn't staying cold and I am losing food. I called RV .Mobile again and report the fridge, this is Feb 14th before I have another appointment. This time to look at fridge and fix the water pump. FEB 14th apoint is my apt, and RV Mobile forgot to pencil my confirmation In. So they call and tell me they will get me wiggled in. Couple hours later RV Mobile calls and says the water pump is not the right part and they cannot fix that day, but will come to look at the fridge. Later this evening, I went to turn the heat on and now my heat isn't working. It's 9 pm on a Friday with temps in low 40⁰s over the weekend, needless to say at this point, I am very upset and about this entire situation. No water, no fridge and no heat. All the things I spent thousands of dollars on, NOT working for me as needed..... That following Thursday, RV Mobile comes out to check my heat, now, we find that when RV Mobile analyzed the fridge, pulled a wire out which caused heat to not work- that's fixed thank goodness!! Fast forward to March 19th (my birthday) I get a call from RV Mobile (no mind you, my water, covers and vents are STILL NOT FIXED), THIS CALL!!!! RV Mobile tells me my fridge arrived from carriers and it's now damaged from a forklift.. I am supposed to leave work in 2 weeks and go home. Need here for 10 weeks and have nothing fixed, nothing working for the reasons I bout this camper. Limited on people who can do manufactured warranty- there is much to blame on Forest Rivers products as well as their certified technicians that is seriously lacking qualifications. Show less
