Forest River Wildwood Platinum 22RBSX reviews

I purchased this RV new from a dealer June 2025, went in for repair on July 11, 2025 and it took 5 months for them to realize it was manufactured wrong. I have not had my camper since July 11th and they are telling me it cannot go in to be repaired until Mid February. So I have no camper that I make payment on and no on really cares at all. Forest River will fix it at their leisure... In my mind they should of replaced it. Worst Company Ever!!!!!! Show less

Model: 2024 Forest River Salem Cruise-Lite 28VBXL Pros: Family‑friendly floorplan with bunkhouse and king bed Good storage and outdoor kitchen setup Manageable towing weight Cons: Slide‑out malfunctions (multiple failures) Bed collapse and soft spots in flooring Microbial contamination concerns Six extended repair shop visits, leaving us with less than 15 days of use in over a year Warranty and Forest River communication dismissive and misleading Bottom line: The layout is appealing, but the execution has been a major disappointment. Reliability issues and lack of accountability have overshadowed the positives. We cannot recommend this model based on our experience. Show less

Well let me start off by saying we had a Prowler as our starter camper. It was great but there were many things that we noticed after buying it that we wish we would have had. Like dual air conditioning, instant hot water, and a little bit more space in the bunk room. We went to a RV Show last December in Novi Michigan and fell in love with the Forest River Wildwood 31kqbts. We instantly implied to see if we could trade our old one in and get this one and we were approved. We took delivery of it in December of 2024 and we got it from Funtown RV in North Branch Michigan. Upon picking it up I made the mistake of believing the inspectors that they ran water through it and did all the proper checks. Fast forward to April 2025 we took it out for the first time. So when we first hooked it up we had furnace issue. The furnace would only fire up once and then upon cycling would never get hot again. Also hooked the water up and had water leaking out of the outdoor kitchen. Found loose plumbing and also it has a sink with a drain that slides in and out with the slide. It was a hard PVC plastic and it was completely broken half. Upon walking into the camper we tried the first sink faucet in the kitchen and it shot water out like 8 ft. So I had to go buy a new faucet instantly. $200 later I went to install the faucet and when I looked under the sink the drain pipe was not even connected. I could not even make it connect because the pop was too short so I had to go buy a new PVC and fix that as well. Upon getting the faucet and drains fixed we had zero water pressure although we had water pressure going into the camper. Come to find out all of the sinks and faucets screens were completely clogged with PVC trash from the build. So we finally cleaned all that out. This was a trip from Nightmare as we had no enjoyment at all because we were cold and barely had water. So on the next trip we noticed water leaking in two different spots outside of the camper. Come to find out this thing was not winterized properly and a piece on the instant hot water heater had busted and water was Dripping under the camper. I must say Funtown RV were very good at getting someone to repair the camper. Here we are in August 2025 and I'm currently at a campground in Ohio. Suddenly there's I raised spot in the floor right by the kitchen. Part of the subfloor is coming up and that's a major fix because these campers have a one piece linoleum floor that is put down before the walls and cabinets are built. I just got approved for the repair but it is a major repair and my camper will be at Funtown RV all winter. I love the looks of this camper and I love the functionality of everything but I must say I never my wildest dreams thought we would have so many problems. I would personally steer clear of this model because it's new. And clearly these things are built entirely too fast with no proper inspections. Show less

I will start with general rv the salesman we very nice but after that was by far the worst everything went down hill fast from that point I signed for an extended warranty and that didn't happen but I paid for it. I tried to talk to the manager Chris dietrich and thats a one way conversation and NOT in your favor the service department is all lies same with Chris dietrich. Then I get forest river involved and they lied to me and said they had no contact with Chris and had no knowledge of what was going on and that was a lie there were so many problems the manufacturer took it and they had to basically rebuild half the rv leals ,mold,slide problems, solar problems, batteries blowing up, water heater problems, countertops replaced, stabilizer replaced,stains, and just a ton more then they want to give me 3 grand for rolling junk that I paid 43,000.00 and I still haven't even sat on the bed 1 yr and 7 months later we just got it back and the door to the bedroom is broken and do you think anyone will respond to an email nope and now no warranty and no help they just want your money A BUNCH OF JUNK ,LIES, AND THEIVES Show less

Wonderful RV! I love the design from the huge windows on every side, to a slide out that has a hidden bunk/office/storage space behind the decorative shelving. You can use it at your will. The bedroom design is perfect you can switch between 2 twins to a king bed with windows on all 3 sides. The optional solar panel is so convenient for extra juice to the battery and some appliances and offers to upgrade easily for a off grid adventurer. Electric awning with light strip for easy late night hanging outside. Even comes with a outdoor shower and a flat top gas grill outside the RV in a easy stow away cargo spot. The power tongue jack makes hooking up and leveling down a breeze. Easy to tow and go!!! Show less

This is a very cheaply made travel trailer that could have been great if they had any quality control. Within the first few months of it sitting at our seasonal which is only 10 miles from the dealer. The furnaces stopped working,broken thermostat, bad caulking, wood from bed lift falling off, toilet broken leaking urine, door not closing and lock broken. Most have been fixed but this is not good.

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

We own a 2024 FR WW and highly recommend against purchasing. Very cheaply made. While the extra service warranty we purchased runs for six years, it is a real pain getting authorization. But, that’s not the main complaint. The stuff that really goes to crap is what’s not covered after one year. Sliding doors, didn’t last two camping trips before they were a real pain to open and close. The island for the kitchen, didn’t even make it to our first camping trip. I lifted it up and it is such thin wood that it cracked. Bathroom sink, the drain valve just snapped. While it is an easy and cheap fix, on our camper it’s a one piece pipe that was glued on and the entire sink needs to be replaced. The bedroom area is just inconvenient and poorly configured and I don’t know who designed the bathroom, but they must have been under 5 feet tall and weighed less than 100 pounds. Bottom line, the inside of the camper is nothing but cheaply made material that will not last. Show less

I repeat do not buy one of these units. We have a Salem bunkhouse which we bought brand new from. Camping world neither camping world or forest river will back their product this travel trailer has basically fallen around from us. Our first trip out shower floods the floor blinds don’t go up and down. Water traps left out of bathroom, zinc, damage underneath, zinc in kitchen outside big gaps in trailer just basically pearly made, and they don’t stand behind their product please don’t bother this product. You will regret buying it. We are sitting with a white horse that we paid a tremendous amount of money for that cannot be used. Forest River has given me the runaround and refuses to fix it.

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
