Forest Riverpage=2page=2 Toy Hauler 5th Wheel reviews

The best feature of the RV is the rear entertainment seating. This is opposing double slides to create an extra large living room complete with fireplace, entertainment center with stereo and DVD and a popup tv that discreetly moves down beneath counter so as not to obstruct the rear view. Second best is the high end upgrades. This makes it feel like a house. Rich wood cabinetry, pantry with pull-out shelves, solid counters and tons of storage. Third is large for an RV bathroom. Corner shower is extra big, toilet is pocelain and there is adequate vanity space. A larger person can easily move around in this bathroom. Last is the master bedroom which truly feels like a master suite with a third slideout, double mirrored closet doors, armoire storage on each side, nightstand, and stand alone armoire for more storage and holds a smart tv.

NEVER BUY A FOREST RIVER PRODUCT. The fifth wheel Has been nothing but an issue since we bought it. The quality control is non-existent from the factory. A seal on the main slide was missing from the factory-something a customer would never realize wasn’t there and missed by the dealership as well. The Rogue Vengeance developed a leak along the slide by the floor and then rotted the floor. Forest River claims it was our responsibility to do every 3 month maintenance and should have caught it. How would we catch it as the leak was under the vinyl and didn’t show up until the vinyl developed bubbles?! What a joke their products are-poorly built and what good did an extended warranty do us? They push that at customers when you buy and it’s a total waste of money. Junk junk junk products and awful customer service as well. They DON’T care about you after you sign your name-they only want your money. Totally disgusting company. Show less

Very easy to pull, we pull either 2025 ford f350 srw without any issues. The living area is great for max 4 people otherwise it gets tight in living area. But can accommodate more. Master bedroom is great with full bath and connecting door. Garage is large and can hayle a Polaris pro r or Polaris xpedition. Bed in garage is excellent feature for guests. Bathroom in garage has a shower/toilet combined (small but functional). Kitchen is nice and functional. Self leveling system works great. 1 year of traveling to camp sights with full hookups and bun docking with zero issues. Generator is a little loud in bedroom but gives white noice for sleep. Very happy with the camper. Show less

Bought brand new at 68,000. The AC units blew the first month after a few uses. The sink brokek. The pipes snapped under sink. Then fauct broke apart. Black tank clogged and would not empty correctly. Sludes are stuck out. Replaced all fuses. Replaced motherboard. Replaced propane regulator because it leaked. Living room floor vinyl was torn upon delivery. On and on. Now AC doesnt work at all. Lights dobt work. Fuses blew. Upgraded panel at recommendation of tech sent by Camping World. Id never ever recommend this camper to anyone. It has been a headache from literally the day of delivery and on. I tried to return it eithin the first 30 days but dealership wanted me to pay them to do so. Honestly if it caught fire from the AC units overheating id not be sad. Show less

Simply love this trailer. Been living full time for over 5 years with no issues. Pulls great down the road and has all the luxury items I need. This unit is well made and shows little maintenance required after road trips. You can't go wrong with this unit. Show less

We spent a good year researching and looking at all the floor plans, hauling, and features to find this toy hauler. It offered the length & weight we wanted, the interior height to make it feel larger, the right amount of sleeping capacity with two kids, and a decent size bathroom so we weren’t squeezed in. The added generator was a huge plus that extended our camping season through winter months for hunting off grid. The garage bay doubled as the perfect travel storage for bicycles, tables, chairs, floats, and all the stuff. We have really enjoyed all the features of this camper!! Show less

We traveled full time for 6 months twice around the country. It was the perfect rig for me. I am 69 years old with a bad back. The hydraulic leveling worked great also had the large plastic pads so I didn't have to put out boards or plastic pads. Electric cord is on a powered winch so no heavy lifting. Connect water and drain and you are relaxing in 10 minutes. Turn on the roof top satellite dish that automatically finds a satellite. Pull a bottle of wine out of the wine cooler hit the fireplace on and turn on some tunes or the game. This unit has 3 ac's with duct that are quiet, a dishwasher, full fridge, 4 burner stove with a oven that you can cook a turkey in. It has a metal frame walls which are more sturdier than the wood. Can't rot either. Insulated glass windows. Show less

We bought this RV used. The previous owner says he only used it about 8 times in 3 years, which we thought was good... WRONG! He didn't use it enough to find all the problems and ensure they were fixed. So far, generator wouldn't start. Probably from not being used, but we did a ton of research and found many places saying this brand was junk. Air conditioner in the main living area and thermostat for it don't work. It will say it's 57 degrees in there, but felt more like 80. Did a ton of research and found the engineer design put the temperature sensor up in the condenser so it reads cold all the time. Took a shower and ended up with a huge pool of water on the bathroom floor. Realized they didn't bother to seal anything between the chintzy plastic walls and the shower base. There is a leak somewhere in the main room. We haven't yet determined if it's from the air conditioner or slide. The siding that wraps under the 5th wheel is peeling away, with the screws pulled out. The fridge doesn't keep food at safe temperature. Anything against the back will freeze, anything in the front will spoil. The back entry door doesn't latch properly. The overall layout and design is horrible... the RV is so tall, and has MoRyde 4 steps to get in, but they used a tiny 10 inch reach fold away handle up by the door knob. The hallway going up to the master bedroom is very narrow. The steps for the back bunk don't reach the floor, so they're not very steady or sturdy. Storage is almost non-existent, and what is there inside is high up so we have to keep a step stool in there. Outside is a teeny tiny door on the pass through, not nearly big enough to throw a chair in. We are hoping the transfer of the extended warranty the previous owner purchased comes through soon so we can get some of this taken care of. My parents had a Forest River Work n Play toy hauler that was garbage also, so I should have known better. Next time we'll spend a little more for something other than Forest River that hopefully doesn't have as many issues. My advice is STAY AWAY!!! Show less

Overall, our experience was very good, never an issue on the road or at camping sites. As with many RVs workmanship pops up. e.g. loose fasteners, cheap faucets, shower heads etc. Those we replaced right away. We replaced factory tow pin with a Reese Goose Box. We never had an issue with heating/cooling, water heater or the propane systems. A big headache was the tank sensors, can't trust them! Show less
