I purchased this RV in 2020 used. It had some minor issues that I addressed immediately when I purchased it. There were some of the issues that I have read from other reviews like a shower that leaked. Simple 10 minute fix and has never leaked again. Some pealing of vinyl in closet. Another 5 minute fix and perfect since then. Yes there was some trim that was loose but a small brad gun and 30 minutes and I secured everything and perfect since then. I understand all RV's have challenges but this floor plan fit our lives perfectly and a little owner maintenance and its an AWESOME unit. I never did deal with the factory or warranty so I cant speak to that but overall this has been an outstanding unit for me and my family. My one complaint is the outdoor kitchen is a great idea but I removed the stand for the outdoor grill and mounted a bumper stand for my generator. The kitchen is a good idea but not practical.

Good looking trailer, very clean like new Excellent floorplan for a couple or family, lots of storage and have owned for 2 years and everything is working just fine. A 16' awning, a large pass through storage and a large slide out sound in your next trailer?? You will also appreciate the Sure-Step entry steps to safety get inside to the rear kitchen layout with a skylight above offering additional natural lighting, a walk-in pantry with shelves, and a booth dinette to eat at.? Someone might even like to use the sleeper sofa to relax on after a big meal.? You will love the oversize panoramic windows in the slide out , the full bathroom to get ready in each day, and the front private bedroom including a? walk-around queen bed , wardrobes and overhead cabinets

We bought a 2022 forest river 26rk brand new and the TV in the living room, that Just happens to control the outside speakers got damaged. We have been trying to get a replacement for it for 3 month only to find out that forest river no longer uses that TV and they can in their own word "can not source one." I do not understand how a company can sell a next year's model and already discontinue one of the main sell features in it.

The layout of the Vibe is great, the quality of the build is not. We purchased the Vibe in 2021 new. The couches came ripped, the shelving was crooked, the lights did not all work, panels popped on the slide out, microwave seal on door was faulty and the refrigerator seal was broken. The very worst has been the leak in the shower into the wall. The dealer we purchased from has had the camper for 3 months and not gotten the leak fixed yet.

Bought in April, within 2 months, awning broke, cable not wired correctly, dealer tried to fix and radio stopped working. poor finishing job for paint splattered and fingerprints, stick on paper laminent peeling off, molding falling off, window curtain so tight it pulled screw out of wall and now hangs....outside outlet and outlet for fridge/convection top stopped working. 2nd dealer fixed but lasted less than 1 week; now at 5 months- countertop falling apart from water leaking between undermount sink and counter top. doors coming off tracks, shower still leaks, toilet sometimes leaks. air to front bedroom? yeah right even with all other vents closed and portable fans blowing air toward the room. did i mention the vent over oven never worked right and then fell off during a trip? dealers fix was to "wedge" with cardboard open the external flap. solar panels don't work for off-griding, you get maybe 2.5 days fridge use only and everything starts shutting off. slideout sits high not flat on floor.... hit your foot on that a few times!....screen door closing mechanism refused to stay in place. was shown how to "fix" it, (i did multiple times) and it fell off after the dealer left. now screen handle doesn't retract and catch latch, so handle has to be "jiggled" to ensure it catches....awning arm broke instead of "dumping", had to go to manufacturer for warranty... dealer and FR did not want to warrantee.... what else would you like?? we like the floorplan, bathroom size, counter and storage space... that is it. would like my refund now.....
