Forest River Wildwood 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

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

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

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
