RV reviews

This RV has the best floorplan, however, SO many issues. The cupboards fall off/open during transit, shelves fall in pantry, furniture is falling apart (desk chair broke day 2 of use, recliners do not shut properly, falling apart), the sliding doors in bedroom/bathroom fall off track constantly, leaks in laundry room & kitchen, sinks starting to rust, microwave isn't working properly, bathroom drawers constantly open during transit & do not open/shut properly & are falling apart. Everything about the RV is CHEAPLY made. Afterc6 months, this RV shouldn't have so many issues. We were hit in rear & totaled RV. We are going with a Brinkley or Alliance. Will pay more for better quality. Stay away from Forest River Brands. Show less

Great floor plan, optimum size and layout for hauling and hosting a young family. Generous fresh, grey and black water storage. Great patio conversion, kitchen and decent seating area. Probably the worst assembly quality out there. Customer service turnover rediculous bordering on morons. Leaks because of incorrect sizing of fittings, thrown together hoses. Fuel station problems, NO STORAGE. Additionally bad wiring in control panel. The componentry is excellent but assembly the worst! It's a shame since it could be the best RV out there. Another Berkshire Hathaway company gone wrong! Show less

Hello, I am a proud owner of a beautiful paradigm. However not happy with the warranty department. I bought my unit in December 2025 out of Odessa TX. When they delivered our unit, they didn't pull out the awnings. We didn't think nothing of it. We went on with our trip which is to Tennessee where my husband is working for a bit. At that time, it was winter. So, we didn't use them. However, there was a nice day so we would put them out. Everything was great until we brought the big one in and it broke on one end and I was stuck in the house and my husband had to go get a guy to help put it on top of the slide out. Until we found mobile tech. Because we can't get back to the dealer for a while due to the husband staying in it while working. So, the tech came out and put an idle arm on and brought it out, but it did damage to the awing. The tech said he didn't want to get in to all that. So, I have located another mobile tech that actually files the warranty work. So, I called said lady back to let her know what I had. She said you needed to send photos and a description of what is happening. I said Well I am new to ALLIANCE I have only owned forest river and keystone. They did things differently than alliance. The tech always came out, took pictures and explained what needed done and submitted it to warranty. I just had some work done and she said because I didn't send back broken parts or took a picture I don't get all of my money back. So, I feel that I am not trusted as a customer When I talk to her, she makes me feel like I am stupid. I would not make these repairs up. I just want my stuff fixed as it should be it's a new unit. She also went on in our conversation to tell me that's not what the email said, and I said yes ma'am that is what I read, so, I pulled it up and read it. She also let me know 99% of the awing are weather related. I said we didn't have any wind or rain. This literally was our first time opening them. Also, she told me she was not going to argue with me. I said argue I am not arguing I am a customer just wanting my unit fixed after my purchase. That is one of the reasons we bought an alliance. We read that the service and warranty department was top notch. I haven't had very good luck so far with this department. She also let me know that she has been there for 5 years, and they must trust her to do her job, or she wouldn't be there in her position. There are just a few things that she said to me that I feel is very unprofessional. Like bragging on herself and disregarding my concerns. I just wanted my warranty work done without a big hassle or money out of our pockets. This is my 5th unit to purchase and by far the worst experience with factory warranty. I haven't done my review yet, but I will do that soon. Thank you, Shellie hicks Show less

This has been an excellent rv. In 2026 it is still very solid. I am so glad I bought this years ago. I am turning it into a permanent park model. I did need to replace the converter after 20 years. The a/c and every thing else still work. I am taking out the tub shower and putting in a larger shower. Show less

We purchased a brand new Voltage 3850 and took it out the very first weekend. Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely disappointing, especially for an $80,000 unit that was supposedly ready to use. Right out of the gate, we discovered the black and gray tanks were labeled backwards. While boondocking, what we thought was draining shower water turned into a much bigger and unpleasant issue. That’s a basic quality control miss that should never happen. Next, the A/C units wouldn’t keep the camper below 80°F—even though it was only 82°F outside. After digging into it, we found the thermostats were wired incorrectly from the factory, causing the compressors not to kick on—only the fans would run. Again, another major oversight that should have been caught before delivery. Then the first night, just as we were trying to fall asleep, the light above the bed started strobing on and off. It would stop just long enough to think it was fixed, then start again. Extremely frustrating and unacceptable for a brand new unit. To top it off, the “14 ft garage” is actually closer to 13 ft 5 in. That’s not a small discrepancy when you’re planning around space for equipment or toys. Overall, this experience has made it clear that quality control is seriously lacking. For the price point, there’s no excuse for this many issues right out of the box. Buyers should be prepared to thoroughly inspect everything themselves before relying on it. Show less

We are full timers and our Valor 44v14 is our fourth trailer, and by far the worst so far. We bought this trailer because we fell in love with the floor plan and loved the large garage since we have two small children. The day we brought it home it has been problem after problem and it hasn't even been two weeks. We already have had to file a warranty claim for a list of problems that need to be fixed. It seems this trailer was just thrown together cheaply. Paint is already coming off, trim is detaching, the backsplash in the kitchen isn't secured, none of the blinds are installed correctly, the bed came broken, the roof had bubbles in it, slides aren't working. We realized the bathroom doors don't have magnets to close or locks; the doors aren't installed straight so you have a huge gap, it looks awful and can't be fixed unless we get all new doors. Not to mention the barn doors are awful, I have no idea why they moved away from pocket doors. If you're considering buying an Alliance, you need to do your research, be handy at fixing problems all the time or don't buy one. Show less

** WORST RV PURCHASE EVER ** This is my 3rd RV, (2 from McClains And now this Forest River Sabre from Fun Town). I purchased this Supposed state of the art fifth wheel unit with the side patio at the cowboy stadium event back in April 2025. This unit was the number one hit at our first RV outings with several of our camping groups. In 12 calendar months, we have only been able to use this unit three times. After each outing with the unit, there were problems and issues with the unit and after all three outings, we would IMMEDIATELY take the unit back to fun town RV in Cleburne, Texas. With the first & 2nd Repairs in April 2025, it took approximately four months for all repairs to eventually be completed, (To be fair, they did allow me to come pick the unit up for a weekend event we had previously scheduled, and I immediately brought it back for the repairs to be completed). Those repairs were eventually completed August 9, 2025. We made our third trip in the trailer, to Galveston, Texas the last week of December, 2025 and departed the RV park January 6th 2026, where we immediately drove from Galveston, Texas to Cleburne Texas to drop the unit off because of, once again, breakdowns and issues with the unit. The unit had several issues, but, the main primary issue was a defective black tank that needed to be replaced. With this issue and all the previous issues where it took them so long to repair, the fun town dealership kept encouraging me to reach out to Forest River so that I, the customer, could have them speed up the approval process and the sending out of the parts process because, fun town said that’s what they were waiting on. I was basically put in the middle and forced to try and be my own advocate & facilitator to get my RV unit repaired between fun town and Forest River. As of today, April 16, 2026, my unit is still at the fun town dealership. They did receive the black tank two weeks ago, but, it still has not been installed. I was initially told, several months ago, that when the tank comes in, I would be made priority and they would rush my unit in to get it fixed and that it should only take about five hours. I contacted the service manager yesterday, Andrew Allegra, and he advised my unit has been in the shop for eight days, but that, he could not understand why it has not been completed yet. He advised me that he would get on it today and he apologized about the delay and he advised that he will check into the reason why it has taken so long. With my unit being in the shop for so long, my one year Unlimited warranty ran out last week. Fun town advise that I should reach out to Forest River to see about them extending my warranty since my trailer has been in the shop for OVER six months of the 12 months, I have owned it. I just contacted Forest, Rive, owners relation department, and spoke with a representative there by the name of Miss Randy. I advise her of the situation and am requesting an additional six months of unlimited warranty for my unit since I have only used it three times and it has been in the shop for over six months of the 12. She advised me that she will speak with her boss today and call me back with an answer. With this last repair where the unit was dropped off January 6, 2026, these last 3 months has been so frustrating and inconvenient. We have missed so many camping outings, holiday outings, etc. because the unit that I am paying for, is not available to me. I have made 3 trailer payments, I have made 3 RV storage unit Payments, I have paid insurance for 3 months, but, I have not had any use of this unit. Unfortunately, I am locked in, contractually, to this unit until I pay it off. However, I will never buy again, nor would I ever recommend again to anyone that they purchase a RV unit from Fun town and also Forest River. Both companies are so unaccommodating when it comes to taking care of the customer post purchase. What we are told and promised pre-purchase, does not match the care we will get post purchase. I feel scammed and duped!!!!😤😤😤 Show less

So we actually had this unit built….buyer beware that Grand design will make changes to your design during construction without telling you. Specifically we wanted the color changing light feature. When unit was delivered they did not supply those and said we are out of luck that they are only installing white lighting. This is not what we ordered per our contract. They said it would now be “thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars” to redo it. So we offered to have them throw In a generator and stairs for the side patio ….which they refused. They told Blue compass ft Wayne to order cheap Amazon lights and cover the others. This is not the “thousands and thousands and thousands” they said it would cost. So we have been told to just accept their change and deal with it even though that’s not what we purchased. Just a warning for others to avoid Grand Design as they will not comply with a written contract. Show less

We love the floor plan and size of this 359. Where this unit loses its shine is in the poor workmanship. Missing or loose screws, the refrigerator poor mounted and supported by two screws and not leveled. Undercarriage has electrical wiring with no installation as they go through the chassis and wires have no excess wire for future repairs. Loose bolts on rear tailgate, missing screw on side latter and the list goes on. Im replacing steel screws that after just 4 months showing heavy rust and replacing them with stainless steel. Over the workmanship is just not there and sad we buy these things with regret months later. Show less

I just got my 2026 campsite elite 36ak. Beautiful trailer 5th wheel with a list of problems that everyone should run away from. Don't waste your money! 118000 worth of problems. Here is a partial list can provide pictures and emails to prove. Windows leak snow and cold, floor repai done bad, fridge bracket does not fit so can lock when in travel, toilet wobble, frost comes through the walls not proper insulation, snow drifts on the floor, windows trim to hold them in was falling off, ac heat strips not there as was part of the deal, furnace not working proper , snow comes through the windows, power running through the pull out to me.a big fire hazard,seal not proper around pull outs and the list keeps going. We bought this at the Calgary rv show where the reps from forest river and rangelad told us how good of a fit this would be for us seniors. How warm it would be for us . We were there to get a good rv fit as a.fire destroyed our rv so with insurance we needed a new one . they knew of our predicament and just wanted a sale full of lies and miss representing it. They have our money. That is all that matters to them. Shame on.all of them and the ones who build these need to put a bit of effort into their products. A beautiful trailer that is worthless!
