The only good thing about this trailer is the layout/floorplan. All the used material is flimsy and just slapped together. We bought this trailer brand new. The trim started shaking loose immediately, no wonder when you see that everything is randomly stapled. The table was mounted crookedly, it was clearly just screwed in without measuring. After 6 months the shower started leaking because the support board just cracked (it's just some plywood on 4 legs), and the drain pipe was rubbing against the side of the board (again they didn't even measure it). Two weeks later the black water tank started leaking. The heating just turns off after a while before reaching the desired temparature. Now we get fumes from the water heater inside the bunk house, the CO/propane alarm goes off, so we can't use the water heater nor the toilet anymore. Both the Lazy Days dealership and Forest River keep sending us back and forth. We will never buy anything of them anymore.

This was our first travel travel but we expected to have a few issues to get the rig setup how we wanted. The floor plan sold us on the Forest River X-Lite 273QBXL. We have had nothing but issues with the unit since we purchased it. The slide has been in for repairs for the third time now and this includes it going back to the factory for repairs then it still didn’t make it through the season. The whole side was pulling away from the trailer and when you slide in back in it would tear the laminate in the floor. We stated to them when it was at the factory that we wanted a replacement if this didn’t fix the issue and now they are not standing behind their product. Their solution is giving us a credit towards another camper but not fixing the current unit and passing the issue onto the next person which also affects our trade value. Has anyone had this same issue and did it get resolved? In my opinion I would stay away from the X-lite model with the versa lounge until the actually find a way to build it properly. We fell in love with camping but not the camper. Very disappointed in Forest River and the quality of their product.

We have only had this RV for 8 months and it has been sitting at the dealer service for over a month. Already needs a new slide kit as the slide broke while camping, new propane igniter for the water heater. Shower leaked from day 1, kitchen sink leaked. Sliding door to bedroom bottom brace broke already. Took Forrest River over 2 weeks to approve warranty work. I had to call Forrest river to get them to approve. Dealership does nothing but sit an wait without any follow up. Towing has not been greatest either. This trailer sways more than it should while towing. Even have weight distribution and sway bars hooked up. Would never buy another Forrest River.

This camper is very poor quality. Interior was slapped together, lots of metal filings, burs and scrap metal throughout camper from assembly. We have owned this camper since new in 2018. Trim pieces constantly fall off, water leaks from plumbing everywhere. Electrical issues since new. I’m constantly fixing this camper. Cheap Chinese tires dry rotted after 3 years. Forest River should be put in prison as they are thieves.

This is by far the worst camper I've ever owned. Also had a Jayco and Realite. The first time I turned the water on the fitting blew off. Crimp wasnt tight enough. The refrigerator quit working because the magnet fell off because the screws were to short. We lost $50 worth of food. Also have nice coming in because the craftsmanship is so bad. Holes are cut way too big everywhere so all of Gods creatures can enter. Wood and metal shavings were just left inside everywhere. I had to rebuild the entire inside to keep them out. I realize Americans dont take pride in their work but this was insane. I do not recommend that anyone buy this camper.

We bought our 240BHXL new in May of 2020. Have been on 20 different trips, plus about 15 rentals. Very reliable rig. We love the floor plan of this model. The lower height makes it easier to tow and feel in control. The quality is pretty good; I knew what I was getting into before I purchase. I knew there would be trim and fit and finish issues. After a year, the only major thing that has broken is a cabinet door. After a year, we realize that the size is a bit small for our family and are getting a bigger X-lite mod. Otherwise, we are very happy with this camper.
