we have nothing but heartache with this camper. owned for a year now, to start our first trip out was in a heavy rain storm little window slots were full of saw dust and pluged from factory and water ran down on inside of camper, couldn't stop the water till rain stopped! screws were stripped out of cabinet doors, rear kitchen leaked into bunkhouse, solved that on my own, tank handle fell off during transport, dealership didn't show us that tank, it was full and backed up into rear kitchen that all drain fittings we loose, leaked into bunkhouse, rear kitchen door open shocks failed, electric awning shocks failed, our door, won't close and still won't close after bringing back to dealership three times, back stabizers sound like heck, air conditioning is getting warm, looks , great , pulls great, poor quality, for the money you pay 50$grand, but it sounds more common that not from talking to other campers, Forrest river is putting out junk, that is the parent company for all campers. thinking about giving up camping, never thought i would say that.its like the old snowmobiles in the 70,s use them once, work on them for the next trip, bought rv from wagers in green bay wi. derrick carlson. carlson.derrick@gmail dot com

I’ve owned this RV since new. My walkthrough discovered the shower wouldn’t drain, the bedroom slide was crooked, the bedroom mirror doors were off their tracks, and one of the outside storage doors was falling out of its opening because the hole was too large. All fixed by the dealer. A month after, the DVD/stereo quit, the ceiling fan made noises like an airplane, and another door opening started to cause problems... all fixed by the dealer. Since then the only problems have been the kitchen faucet failed (I installed a quality residential one) and the converter quit working (I replaced it). So, as RV’s go (this was my fifth one), this one has been quite good. It is too bad that the RV industry isn’t as quality conscious as the automobile industry, but overall, we’ve had years of enjoyment. The most important thing, in my opinion, is the dealer you buy it from because no RV is 100% off the lot. Oh yes: The outside kitchen is amazing!

I bought this unit new in 2013 and really liked it. Now that I owned it for 6 years, I have had my problems. First, Window leaked in kitchen and bubbled the wall board badly. I pulled it out only to find a cheap seal around it and an opening cut that is so big it barely gets covered by the window. 2nd Plastic supports for closet doors broke and windows too. Had a water supply leak and tore into it to find the rubber washer was on backwards, another leak, found staple in water line. Now the good stuff. Soft spot in floor in bedroom,3 cracked tanks leaking water big time , 2 grey and the black tank. I bought a extended warranty on this for 7 years bumper to bumper, not true. They would not cover the window leak, but they did cover replacement of the 3 tanks and replace the seal in the bedroom slide. This caused the soft spot on the floor. My brochure calmed 25yr warranty on the floor, I contacted Saber and he said they haven't offered that in years, really ? My brochure states 25 yr that was a major reason I bought it. When I pushed him on this he said I have to go to the manufacture of the floor, What BULLS***! I told him you go back not me. I'm not done with him yet, I just got my camper back from service and the floor repair was $850.00. I will be contacting him. One more thing,why is it when you go and ask for parts on a 6yr old unit they say that's an old unit might not be able to get parts. What a crock,I can buy parts for a 60yr old car and nothing for a 6 yr old camper. Oh ya if you do find a part hang on to your ass over the price, one side wheel skirt $585 shipping for a piece of plastic.

You can take all the creature comforts of home on the road. Large, open floorplan with 9' ceilings (yes, 9 feet!) feels spacious and luxurious. All wood cabinets and finishing is top notch. Loads of storage inside and out. Entertainment system lets you bring your music and movies with you. Enormous motorized canopy lets you sit outside and enjoy nature just footsteps from you home on the road.

I have had 2 shorts in the wiring. Non GFI outlets don't work. The Pex plumbing leaked. The rear window leaks. I have 2 areas were I just found water damage inside under the couch and carpet. There is a leak in the rear inside the wall. There is a leak somewhere above the hitch I can not find without tearing the front outside panel off. Leak on skylight, it started pealing up and I had to rubber tape it the winter. And these are only the ones I have found. Ufffff would NOT BUY AGAIN.

We have loved our Sabre. Towing has not been in the cards for us, with that said, the unit is parked at a camper park. The livability room is excellent! The floor plan makes life easy no matter what you're doing. My wife enjoys the larger shower, as do I. The kitchen is a well thought through design with a focus on counter space. There is MORE than enough storage, sometimes we forget where items are stored. If you are looking for a unit that can be full time, the Sabre 33RETS-6 has every feature making life away from home a breeze.

Great full time RV for 2 people.. Had a couple recalls, however were fixed quickly and all is fine. Pulls great with 3/4 ton truck. Many extra items are standard. Fireplace keeps the unit warm when temp falls to 40 degrees.

In the 5 years we have owned this RV, we have been extremely happy with it. It is small enough to fit in many older state and local campgrounds, and is still big enough to live comfortably for extended trips. In addition to many 3 to 5 day outings, we have also taken to longer trips with it, one for 6 weeks and another for 3 months across the southern US. The rig tows smoothly and is easy to maneuver. The separate bathroom is especially nice when you want to sleep in but your partner wants to get up early.

This rv has had many problems. After I got it home the fresh water tank was falling out because brackets had not been properly installed, am/fm antenna had blown off and damaged the roof. Found leaks in three of four slides. The ceiling fan was sagging, leaks in the front cap, and from grey tanks and a lot of poor finish work. After a couple of months of fighting with factory they towed it back to Indiana and they repaired most of the 50+ items. Got it back had water on floor from slide leak, ceiling still sagging and front cap still leaking. Took it into local dealership they attempted to repair more items. Got it back and rear slide had torn up the floor. Now unit has an electrical issue, lights on all the time, slide wall de-lamination, doors that don't open or close properly, outside storage compartment pulling away from the wall and many more issues. Taking it back into the dealership with another laundry list of repair items. The bottom line is I have had this unit close to a year and it has either been in the shop or had a major issue the entire time. Every time I use it I find more issues. The factory has promised reparations for the time it has been unusable but that doesn't make up for time lost.

Have had a wonderful experience in this RV. It tows great. We live in it 4 months out of the year.
