Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen 5th Wheel reviews

If I could rate them a 0 I would.. I purchased a new 2025 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen fifth wheel from Bish’s RV – Kalispell, along with an extended service contract, expecting reliability and support. Instead, I’ve experienced ongoing mechanical issues, poor follow-through, and a complete breakdown in service and warranty accountability. Since January 27, 2025, my RV has been without reliable heat and/or hot water, making it uninhabitable. I live full-time in this unit with my child. A heating failure led to additional damage, and despite multiple service visits, the problems have not been resolved. Most recently, a technician serviced the water heater and left it non-functional, throwing an E4 ignition error. I was told no one was available to fix it until days later — leaving me with no hot water after months of issues. What has been most frustrating is the lack of ownership: Problems have been repeatedly reframed or deflected Warranty coverage has been denied or delayed despite covered components Repairs have taken weeks, not days Communication has been inconsistent The burden has been placed entirely on me This unit is not a true four-season RV, yet I was left dealing with the consequences of system failures without timely support or accountability. I am still displaced, still without full use of my RV, and still waiting for resolution on a unit that is new and under warranty. I strongly caution anyone considering purchasing an RV here to ask hard questions about after-sale support, warranty responsiveness, and what happens when something goes wrong — because that’s when it really matters.

FOREST RIVER RV'S ARE COMPLETE JUNK ,THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORIBLE I have one of their newer 5th wheels and it's complete CRAP . BUILT WITH COMPLETE IGNORANCE, AND NO PRIDE AT ALL. If you want a quality built rv, trust me, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING BUILT BY FOREST RIVER. Show less

This is an absolutely beautiful 5th wheel. Tons of space. easy to heat and cool. Amazing floorplan with a huge loft. Three TV's ,great refrigerator with a wine cooler. Sleeps everyone comfortably. Slide toppers added to all five slides . Retractable Huge tv and gorgeous fireplace in front living room with comfortable couches and recliners. Outside lightening and huge awning make outdoor time special as well. I would recommend this dream RV to everyone. Show less

The fact that this unit has 5 slide outs which opened the livability areas of this RV is crazy good. When in tow with a vehicle designed for this size of unit, you really don't know that it is behind you. It rides very sturdy in bad weather situation and stays stable when all jacks are down giving you the home feeling. This unit from the factory was designed to be used in RV parks plugged in for power and comforts while out with the family, however this unit had a professionally installed Onan 6500 LP Generator which allows this unit to be used off grid 100% The master sleeps (2) with that home feeling, the up-stairs loft sleeps (2) and they (2) pull out couch bed up front sleep a total of (4) and if needed the wall hugger recliners will accommodate extra sleepers(1) each. This unit receives an annual safety inspection for peace of mind. Show less

Just got our 2023 Forest River Grand Villa 42 View. Few things wrong. Bar stools are nice leather in all videos but ours is fabric, no vacuum hose to use w vacuum system, no tray for outside, cannot get propane to work, counter top had scratches, few minor cosmetic flaws that were missed, scratch in door, etc. Overall happy w the camper and layout but wish they did better inspections before selling them. We are in our camper and hungry bc cannot get our propane tanks to work. Make sure you get a walk thru and make sure everything is working correctly as we are finding out the hard way. Show less

This is a 1st generation camper ,with upgrades. A lot of issues with this unit upon with everything right front the start . Refrigerator noise, defects right front the factory counter top gouges, frost in glass missing, hinges not keeping cabinet doors closed , Refrigerator doors open when traveling, used the camper 3 weekends for the 1st year ,the hot water heater corrosion and the avoid was totally disintegrated. ( bought a new Jayco in 2014 and never had to replace it that quickly. And still after a 1 year and a half still trying to get everything fixed under warranty Show less

We enjoy all the space this fifth wheel has along with the large windows in the living area so you can see all around you. We camped with family of eight and with the help of a tent for sleeping we all ate and watched movies on the large 55’ tv. The unit is easy to pull and lite enough for a 3/4 ton truck. We love this fifth wheel but we are fully retired now and our needs have changed so we have decided to sell. Show less

This is the second Heritage Glen we have owned. The first one was amazing. This one however has been nothing but a nightmare. We fell in love with the floor plan as it would accommodate our kiddos but still give us ample living space. However the first trip we took we realized it was a mistake! The AC does not cool the bedroom or loft. If it is 70 degrees in the living area the master bedroom and loft will be 85-90 degrees. We were forced to travel with a portable ac unit just to be able to sleep. Also on the first long trip we took we had broken slides, auto level malfunctions, 3 shattered glass shower doors (even though they were locked in place), the drawers in the bedroom dresser fell apart, one by one the window shades broke, the black tank flush stopped working, and the refrigerator latches came loose allowing all of the contents to empty on the floor. Heritage Glen has refused to address the AC issue stating "it isn't a manufacture defect, it is a floor plan issue" which means warranty will not cover it. When speaking with Tashia at forest river she was incredibly rude and even gave me an analogy to explain her point. Her analogy was this... "If I buy a car and decide I don't like the back seat I cant expect the manufacturer to change the back seat just because I don't like it". This was the most ridiculous irrelevant analogy she could have given. I explained to her that when you buy a car you drive it first. You are able to test the back seat. When we spend $60,000 plus on a camper we are trusting in good faith that major issues like this have been tested as we do not have the luxury of taking the camper for a "Test Drive". At this point the only thing we can do is get an attorney involved. So very sad and ridiculous. Show less

Livability in this 5th wheel is high with all the expected accommodations from a luxury coach. Very unique layout with stair leading to a loft above the master bedroom, and living room in the front. Island sink with residential size fridge makes camping and meal preparation very convenient. Two 10gal propane tanks lasts a long time if dry camping. Show less

I will never ever buy another forest river product people do your job an research before you buy these low quality made Rvs, I bought my RV brand new in Texas first year I had it not to bad second year all heck broke loose, awning came apart screws were only a half inch long with that heavy of an awning.then my front AC went out, drawers in camper came apart Trac broke on many of the drawers, three windows leaked had them resealed.kitchen floor seam incoming apart, plumbing issues, the worst of all a slide out leak started after warranty went out I didn't notice the leak untill it started ruining the floor in master bedroom, the whole floor needs replacing carpet also facia board is warped, finally figured out what caused the leak after putting expensive awnings up over each slide out that kept some water out it was the rubber seal it was three inches short allowing water to travel in the rest of the slides have at least three inches over there not leaking this was done during the building of the RV they cut corners and didn't care this has cost me a mint to fix thanks crappy forest river, I even went to camper dealerships around Florida and looked under slide outs you can clearly see water marks meaning water leaks inside so folks allways inspect your campers before you buy if you see water lines walk away first sing there is an issue yeah the dealership sillicones those areas seen that crappy fix that don't stop the water from coming in water can get in from the smallest hole I have to completely replace all the seats the material came apart already replaced all the blinds strings broke microwave enamel came off so that's next to be replaced,and all the bulb seal , tires the china bombs are next outdoor kitchen pipes came apart underneath for some reason that needs fixing as well so after this is all said and done I've put more money in the camper I'll never get it back in fact I'm going to donate this piece of crap to someone I feel bad trying to sell something this crappy I'll never ever waste my hard earned money on this product again.
