Forest River Wildwood Toy Haulers 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

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

Our first new camper we saw it and fell in love. Until we went camping the first time. The Murphy bed cracked , the shower rivets started popping out, shower turning yellow. Second time out the smoke sector would not stop going off. Third time out the mattress ripped and no heat , we froze and could not find anyone to come and look at it . We called the dealership and they told us to blow it out sometimes bugs get in the vent.. well if you all know this it is probably a $2.00 fix .and what in the world were am I going to blow it out with I am It is not like I carry a compressor when my brand new camper should have heat , and now the camper has a strong smell of propane. Forth trip good grief I am exhausted from all of this by now the camper has a brand new tank in from our last trip and the smell of propane is stronger had to leave all the windows and vents open and when we went to drain the black and grey water out it was leaking from the connections . I have about had it . This camper has been out a total of four times and $ 28,000 I should not have any problems I am so over this camper. GRRR I AM SCARED TO TAKE IT OUT. 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

Buyers beware of buying new rv's. They are build really shifty. Your walls are cardboard, they use balsa wood or something along that way, and everything is plastic. I have a 2020 rv I bought a lil over a yr ago. The first week I had it a fitting fell off in the bathroom had 2" of water on the floor. Using the toilet paper and the holder came off the wall that is when I noticed walls are made of thin cardboard. The first yr I had decided to go on a trip first TX, planning to travel the states when I went to set it up the electric jack gave out had to get a 2ton jack to get it off my truck. Then I noticed I had a 6 in Crack in my toilette bowl. Thank God I bought a 3 yr warrantee bumper to bumper. The repairman that comes out to fix it makes 185 an hour. Got that all replaced. Living in the sun in TX my vents covering cracked and are disintegrating, my sink made of plastic has a 6 ln and 3 in Crack in it leaking water all over. Went to use the bathroom opened the door and the door knob fell off in my hand. My stove has a glass counter top built into it, put it down and it shatter in Lil pieces, the black water flush the fitting broke water everywhere, also the infresh water inlet broke, driving down the free way a trucker honking his horn told me something flapping in the air. Stopped and my antenna to my radio had broke off, my vents in the floor are disintegrating, now all those things are made of thin plastic. The couch that came with it is flat and when you sit on its like sitting on a pallet very uncomfortable nothing like having a 1x1 in the Crack off your ass. I've only had this rv for 1 1/2 yrs. And a paid a pretty penny for this rv I love the floor plan of it, but for the stuff they build it with is junk. Now trying to find a mobile rv repairman is a problem cause there is none. So now I got to put in the shop to fix it ruining my vacation. 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

We absolutely love our RV, unfortunately for us a little too large, looking to downsize. Large living area, good storage, shower is very accommodating with plenty of room. Has everything and more that you need for comfort. Very large main room window and plenty of other windows! Show less
