Forest River Wildwood 263BHXL 263BHXL reviews

Bought in 2019. 2 camping seasons. Issues with tires, interior and exterior doors. Eavestrough above tip out cracked over 20/21 winter. Water leaked in to trailer through seal above tip out. Been told that 2 year old trailer isn't under warranty and repairs will have to be out of pocket. I will never purchase a Forest River trailer again. Avoid these trailers!!! Show less

We bought this camper and was proud to have bought one but first experience on the way home was horrible it towed horrible the camper just swayed around constantly and there was a whopping 3 mph wind that day,it’s bad when u can feel the camper pulling you around behind a 3/4 ton with the sway bar on, first time we had it out it leaked and the led lights quit working and the under lights came loose, made the mistake by taking it back to dealer which they where horrible because of the time forestriver took on there warranty and parts,after the first year of normal things getting loose from towing it and I mean normal becouse it constantly walks around behind the truck so caint expect anything less the water pump quit working and the breaker box panel broke, the hvac thermostat workes when it wants too. The jacks don’t provide very much stability while camping but r very easy to use Show less

I have had about six different trailers and/or fifth wheels over the last 15 or so years and this one is by far the worst. I have had the trailer for about 4 months and the best thing about it was the price. But, perhaps the saying is true, "you get what you pay for." For me, I like the floor plan and that also was my reason for buying this particular trailer. The problems I have had so far may be relatively minor, but only because I can fix them myself. Right off the hot water pipe going to the galley sink leaked. At 75 and large it was quite a chore for me to squeeze into the cabinet under the sink to tighten the fitting. Plus you need the right tool for this job as any old wrench will not fit. While fixing this leak I discovered that the ductwork for the furnace that went through this area was torn in half. I needed to replace the ductwork and reattach it to the vent. Inside there are numerous thin trim pieces. Three of these pieces began falling off and I needed to reglue and tack them back in place. Where the drain from the galley area goes through a hole in the floor the hole around the drain was not sealed properly allowing any small vermin to easily get in. Also in looking under the sink I could see that about five screws into wood strips had split the wood. Nothing I could do about that except wait until it starts to fall apart and then do the repairs. The most aggravating thing about this trailer is that it is very flimsy. So much so that when you put the stabilizers down it causes the entire trailer to twist so it is impossible to shut the exterior door. There are a few bumps in the vinyl floor where they must have installed the flooring over something that was left on the floor. The Suburban water heater works fine but I had expected it to be the type that would switch from gas to electric when plugged in. That is what I am used to and like but this trailer is straight gas. The good is that for me, as a single person who entertains his two grandchildren once in a while, the trailer is comfortable. Except it was necessary for me to get a new mattress. In my opinion the quality of the trailer is just fair and the quality control of the company just stinks. Show less

we had all the right hitches installed distribution and sway bar with a truck rated for more than the camper we bought, we could not make it but a few miles down the road and only to 55 mph the camper woukd fish tail so bad that it would take over the truck with trips back to dealer needless to say the camper has still not made it home Show less

Very 1st issue I had was setting the trailer up. The cheap jacks can't hold myself steady much less a trailer. Then I called a cable guy to hook up cable.Good grief the manufacturer installed 3/4 of the set up,but nothing to hook up to the outside.I called the manufacturer, they told me that is "optional". Manufacturer wouldn't have had to pay a extra $10.00 to finish installation, told it was to cut costs..well this is my 1st 3 days in this trailer,sure more issues will be coming. Show less
