Forrest River reviews

This is our third RV and it is hands down the most comfortable trailer ever. Spacious bath room, powder room and open kitchen allows room for everyone. Residential size stainless fridge. Large pantry. Heated/ Massage recliners directly in front of the 40” smart TV. Custom king mattress and 30” tv in bdr. Tremendous amount of storage. Outdoor kitchen with beverage fridge It pulls like a dream. Show less

This unit was perfect for our family. We bought it to live in while a house was being built. The RV was big enough for the 5 of us to live comfortably for a year, while having 2 teenage boys. Ths was our first experience with a RV, but we had a great one. It is a big unit, so towing was a bit of a hassle. It is essentially a semi trailer you are pulling, but that gives you plenty of space. Show less

We have a place at a RV Resort an hour or so from home. We visited several RV before finding this one. We instantly like the floor plan because of the upstairs loft for our small grandkids to go hang out. We had to have it delivered and they guy was really old and didn’t know much more about setting it all up as I did. So we didn’t have hot water and when I called the sales lady she gave us service well we tried explaining what was going on when they yelled and screamed saying we ruined the tank. So we had a Rv repair come out and showed us how to work it. We still have issues tho. Too hot or too cold. In the cold months the kitchen is cold while upstairs living room is hot. But the absolute worst is the AC it won’t get our room or the loft cool. It never gets lower than 80 with 2 big box fans going. We got it February 28, 2022 I’ve fought with dealership that was a joke OKRV MOORE, Ok DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! WHEN YOU SIGN FOR THE RV THEY DUMP YOU FLAT!! And FORREST RIVER MANUFATUER IS 100x WORSE! The people lie, or quit, or never can get ahold of. Plus the carpet was stained when we got it and where they staples the seams they put mud over staples from front to back side to side mud swiped over the ceilings around the ceiling trim . The heat isn’t working right now and it makes a huge noise. Just beware. I wish I wouldn’t got it for simple fact being in a Rv with AC either too small or the duct work has came loose. Either way we can’t get cool. Also our Rv 5th wheel is under several shade trees and a cover Rv carport so it’s plenty of shade to keep cool. This is a manufactur issue that they won’t honor! BEWARE!!They want us to bring it to them but we would have to pay to have it towed to OKC/MOORE area and these aren’t actually warranty issues these are things that should be working before they ever delivered it and they didn’t. Now we’re out of luck unless we want to pay $1,000 to have it towed. Which I agree if it’s warranty. These are things that didn’t get done right at the manufacturer!! FORREST RIVER RV MANUFACTURING COMPANY DOES NOT STAND BEHIND NOR DO THEY HONOR THEIR OWN PRODUCT!! Show less

The Dealership that represented the product grossly oversold it as we would come to find out as the salesman knew very little about the operation of it and the ownership was even less interested in our concerns. On our first trip out the jack was defective, trim was coming off around the ceiling and the fascia on all three slides is completely peeling off. Additionally the furniture was busted and rigged to seem fine. Then upon the next outing the thermostat turns out to be defective as well as the front stabilizer. When we approached the dealer about sending someone to fix it we were told "we don't make them, not our problem. Bring it in and we'll see what we can do". Funny during the sales process it was the best quality in the industry and if you ever have a problem we'll come out and fix it. Unfortunately I would never recommend the brand and the dealership ( Kikos Country in Cabot Arkansas) can rot in hell for all I care. Buyer beware they will screw you. Show less

This is like the ikea cheap trailer of trailers. I wish I looked closer at the quality before purchasing. It’s just very cheap and poorly assembled. I’ve owned this trailer less than a year and every sink has leaky plumbing, drawers broke after a week of using them, there’s trim pieces that aren’t even cut right, wallpaper in the bathroom is already bubbling, my bathroom sliding door is now broken, taillight went out already. I’ve barely used this thing it’s practically brand new. Just very cheap and poorly made. Not to mention there is not enough storage on this thing and I already am a minimalist. Just definitely research before you buy. Show less

We had a 2021 XLR thunderbolt and loved it! Everything worked flawlessly, it towed better than most trailers I've pulled my entire life. Floor plan was perfect for kids, and even just adults with storage space. Had absoultely everything for dry camping or full hookups, convenience convenience convenience! We miss that trailer!

We love this RV. Very good quality from Rockwood to where we would definitely consider buying another rockwood (all enclosed bunkhouse TT) in the future. We simply outgrew the room only 2 beds offer. Pros for such a small trailer it has excellent inside storage and minimal carpet is a great feature (huge wardrobe and linen closets!!) with little ones. Also the counter space (behind sink and oven used to store weekend items like coffee pot, drinks, etc.) is excellent in this size trailer. Easy to hook up and easy to tow, back etc. We only had a large SUV and it got well within its towing capabilities but the weight distribution hitch was definitely needed to prevent the swat effect at the hitch. The downside is that with great interior storage there has to be some drawbacks and the outside store is definitely lacking on this one. You can definitely store all the essentials like the blocks, sewer equipment, water, power cords etc. needed on the outside storage cubbies but that’s about it. All of our other camping supplies chairs, patio rug, coolers, etc had to go inside the trailer during transit. Show less

So far we are very pleased with our purchase, have used about 3 times in the 3 months we have had it and not 1 problem yet! Look forward to the next few years that I believe this Taravel Trailer is capable of! Show less
