Bought this in March of 2022. The awning didn't work (motor had to be replaced), stairs were installed incorrectly (needed to be moved), air conditioner didn't work, awning fabric came loose and had to be replaced, second awning motor didn't work (replaced again), water leaked from the roof and had to be sealed several times, tv not properly connected, outlet went into the wall when we tried to plug in a charger, bottom bunk shade didn't work (replaced) but had to wait a year for the shade cover, outside ladder was installed crooked so you cannot see if you installed a backup camera, the outside fridge door opens if there are items in it (while traveling). Needless to say, it's been in the shop for 8 months out of 12. Emailed Forest River to receive a complacent response. Calls went unanswered, so tried another extension. Finally talked to a nice gentleman. He suggested I work with Longview RV, CT for a remedy. Meanwhile, they gave me another 1-year full warranty. Hope all problems are fixed from this point on.

Purchased the trailer in 2022, it had little use, 1st trip had 2 tires blow out, the oem tires junk. !st thing when you get a new trailer get rid of the oem tires , Forest River puts CHEEP TIRES on. This is our 3 rd trailer so we know that there is always things that need attention. We have used the trailer on 4 tips and have had little problems, When we used the A?C for the fist time it work , but right there was a problem with the control-thermostat, i called the dealer and told of the problem, he asked me if i got the service contract, i did not, the dealer gave me the parts at no cost and I replace them . over all the trailer is good. the trailer is only as good as the dealer you get it from

Initially, our family loved the layout, livability, and overall unit. But time had a different opinion. Just about every finished surface has issues. The wall covering laminate is letting go, caulking and sealant around the unit failed, even with consistent yearly maintenance, counter-tops bubbled, Formica trim retracted and adhesives failed. Fabrics lasted about 7 months before seams un-threaded and wainscotting separated. Warranty requests through the dealership were met with lukewarm at best responses by the manufacturer and included compromised repairs with us having to pay for labor (well into the $1000's) and the manufacturer covering materials (less than $1000). In hindsight, the reduced price on a prior year model (even with an extended warranty) was instantly offset by the defects at less than 2 years old, let alone the staggering costs at 4 years. The unit now requires a new roof and subframe due to substandard products that the manufacturer claims are "professional grade". Yet they only cover defects in the roof for 90 days from the date of purchase. Seems like the consumer is the only person that loses when they buy a Forest River. Dealerships get to charge astronomical service fees, hourly rates that exceed union carpenters, or mechanics at your local car dealership, the manufacturer is not liable for anything, and the extended warranties are written in Latin to obfuscate the layman. 100% will never consider a Forest River unit in the future. They are built to be throw-away units, at legacy prices. If you are in the market, just keep looking. It isn't worth the long-term price.

This TT has the best layout we could find that would fit our needs. My wife and I have three kids (ages 4,7,15). Having two queen beds and two bunks made the sleeping arrangements very comfortable. It also tows very well behind my Half-Ton Pick-up. No problems with this TT what so ever. Love it!...

Our RV is very comfortable. The large bathroom is accessible with a large shower, tall toilet, sliding door, and plenty of storage!
The kitchen is well thought out with plenty of room and there is a very large pantry closet as you enter the RV.
We have only taken this on probably 5 to 6 camping trips. So it is still like new.
The reason we are putting this up for sale is we decided we’d like to use our extra money for cruising instead RVing.

Seasonal package a joke...zero insulation in floor! China bomb tires blow out after 1000 miles, causing major repairs. Basically a piece of JUNK. Have gone to 3 dealerships for repairs, most incompetent industry ever. Don't waste your time and money. Will be getting rid of it for sure!

Hello; 2017 Forest River Heritage Glen hyper lyt 299. Bad news; Only 4 trips out and we are out over $2000.00. First, all tip outs leaked,repaired. 2nd trip, electronic controller for schwintec was in stalled under bathroom sink, leak shorted it,, $800. Next; trip to eastern Washington in the heat, all 4 (4 ply oem) separated. $760.00 for 10 ply tires. 4th trip, fresh water drain hose managed to work its way down low enough to become a syphon on the road. We get to RV site, fresh water that was full is empty, $265 repair.
Going to sell and buy something else, cant afford $700 or so for a trip of one or 2 days.

Hello, bought unit a year old with very little use the salesman said and the interior showed like new.
1) major leaks during the rains in all three tip outs. Dealer repaired. However, lots of very wet personal gear.
2) First trip,,, bedroom tip-out control was on the floor UNDER the bathroom sink, improperly installed pipe leaked, shorted controller...$800.00 to get tip out in so we could leave the RV park.
3)Next trip, to hot pavements of Eastern Wahington, all 4 of the 4 ply tires tread separated, $850.00 for tires and tow truck to change the first blow out. Tires at 4 ply from factory should be 8 ply or 10.
4) Full fresh water tanks empty in 3 hours !! Turns out the hose was installed by factory too deep and it became a syphon. $250.00 repair.
Other problems that I wont bore you with. Factory support zero.zero help. Never buy the forest river brand again.
