Love the RV, perfect for living or vacationing. Forest River thouggt of everything when they designed the Cedar Creek RV's. I would highly recommend anyone looking for an RV to give the Cedar Creek RV brands the chance to make your vacation/2nd home a great one. Show less

The fifth wheel over all is excellent. Floor plan and storage is very good. The only problem I have is the front cap it looks terrible. Call and talk to Forest River and told me it was out of warranty. Could not do anything with it. Just told me to polished it. Even know they caps are bad. I like the RV but not happy with Forest River. Do not know if I would recommend cedar Creek unless caps are paint. Show less

We purchased a new Cedar Creek Hathaway for the floor plan and finishes. After camping several times in our area, we made a trip to Alaska. The camper developed several problems to include window seals, split half bath wall, and slide issues. We were able to get the slide partially repaired, and finished our time in Alaska. I called cedar creek and was directed to an authorized shop in Coeur d'alene Idaho. I was told the camper would have to return the camper for slide rail upgrade. The half bath wall, as I was told, would need to be re-glued (wall joists did not line up) and the leaking window did not get addressed. I traded in the camper and will not buy another Forest River product. Show less

I purchased a 2021 silver back 5th wheel ( cedar creek ) and it is so cheaply made it's sad. The awning is bent, there was a nail sticking out from under the bed and ripped the flooring, the pantry shelves are so thin you can't put anything of weight on them because they will fall through, the mattress is GARBAGE on the couch literally just wrapped in cloth no padding, the mid bunk the couch isn't even sleep able. The air doesn't cool and it has 2 air conditioners. We had to put tinfoil do divert the air flow. The speaker is crooked, wall paper ripped. I could go on but there are so many other things. Please beware of this company, pull out the beds lay on them, look at the cabinets ect. I had a Forest River for 20 years and it was a tank LOVED it boy has the quality gone down so sad. Show less

We purchased this RV in 2017, 2017 Forest River Cedar Creek Champagne 38EL. This is considered a luxury 5th wheel. With full body paint it is a beautiful unit. Paid a lot for it. Last year we began seeing that the vinyl recliner headrest material was starting to bubble. I called forest River and they declined to help with repairs because it was outside the warranty period. only a couple of years old this should not be happening. After a few more months the entire headrest material was disintegrating. I again contact the manufacturer and they told me it was a lazy boy chair.. I called lazy boy and they would not help me, saying it was made by one of their affiliate manufacturers, but they would not tell me who. I searched the chair and found the manufacturers name and the piece number. Called them and they felt that the material should not do what it was doing. very helpful and sent me a new back for the chair at no cost to me. Contacted an upholsterer who told me that the material was top coated vinyl which is the cheapest material that RV companies use. we really thought we were getting leathers recliners. We paid way too much for our RV to be having an issue like this and for the RV manufacturer do refuse to help us. Buyer beware!! Show less

BUYER BEWARE / We have been fighting with Forest River to correct the LIFE SAFETY CONCERNS, but the back peddling has become too much to bear. We just opened up a BBB complaint and that is when I found out that the dealership (ALL OF THEM BY THE WAY) are required to provide the consumer with the Attorney General LEMON LAW Recreational Vehicle Packet at time of acquisition. If you're a betting person, bet on me because it was NOT in our closing documents. This models front door was cut improper and the occupants are either stuck inside, what could potentially be our coffin if a fire breaks out or we are simply locked out; this is every single day. We have 4 Mobile RV Repairmen (and all of them placed it in writing) who have stated that Forest River needs to get a certified factory technician out ASAP, but again no one seems to care. If the door is stuck closed, throwing my shoulder into is going to take me down the flight of stairs. If I am outside, yanking the door so hard; that it will eventually cause a free fall accident. The kitchen vent pipe (A VENT PIPE FOLKS) was never hooked up, Living Room TV mount falling off the wall (55in HEAVY TV), 3 compartment doors ALL cut to wrong size, so they do not latch correctly and/or rainfall enters, none of the gauges are labeled correctly nor do they work for that matter, hydraulic defect on large wall, opened awning on slide-out wall for the first time and it came crashing down, nearly smashing all of the wall windows (my RingCamera caught that footage), which merely seals solidifies our position that this coach is a LEMON and a piece of JUNK. Honestly I could go on and on and on, it's one thing after another. Brand new residential refrigerator doors won't close correctly, water dispenser doesn't work now, the dryer with the brand new SPLENDID unit not drying clothes and just so many curb appeal blunders that a good sunny (and non-rushed) day would have been caught, by everyone!!! I will be uploading my video clip to YouTube, along with my Forest River Cedar Creek Champagne 38EKS Review that will include loads of photos!! Shame on Forest River for NOT expecting more out of your build team. DO NOT PURCHASE FOREST RIVER PRODUCTS or PURCHASE FROM GIANT RECREATION WORLD of Winter Park, Florida. Show less

We purchased our Cedar Creek in 2018 and lived in it full time for a year and a half in 2019-2020 in western South Dakota, a portion of that time being the third coldest winter in South Dakota's recorded history! While other full-time RVers were dealing with frozen pipes, our unit handled the below zero temps successfully, thanks to the tank heaters, custom skirting, and other typical winterizing measures taken. We have two house dogs, one an 85 lb. black lab, and we didn't have any space issues having them in the RV. I worked remotely, so we replaced the tri-fold couch in the 2nd bedroom with a sit-stand desk for my computer workstation. I also used the 2nd bedroom/office as my vanity, clothes closet and dresser, and coffee nook. We also wintered in it for 6 months in Arizona, November through April, and the two A/C units kept up with the 80+ degree days. We were very comfortable. The electric fireplace in the living room helped warm the RV when nights were cool. The only reason we are selling is because we downsized to a Class C so we can make shorter trips and I am able to help drive. Although we like our new Class C, it does not carry the quality of workmanship, cabinetry, and furniture as our Forest River, so we will miss that. Show less

Owning and using the 2014 Forest River Cedar Creek Silverback has been one of the best decisions we've ever made about RVing. We've made trips from PA to CA and back with ease. The AC did quit on us, but it was under warranty and the manufacturer replaced it quickly. We liked the openness of the floor plan, allowing TV watching and enjoying the coziness of the fireplace from the comfy LazyBoy recliners, the dining chairs, and the couch with a pull-out queen-sized bed (which was also comfortable in itself). The bathroom is small, but we wouldn't trade it for the extra space in the bedroom. You can actually stand up and walk around the queen bed. A walk-in closet covering almost one whole wall has a light inside it and hook-ups for washer and dryer. We did not use the w/d feature ourselves so cannot speak to its use. There is also a smaller tv mounted above the dresser in the bedroom. There are many cupboards and a pantry-pullout with shelving for dishes, food, etc in the main living area. A bonus - a central vacuum system! There is also lots of storage room under the camper itself. We added solar panels to the roof and 4 new batteries for the times we would dry-camp. It has a 65-gallon water tank which came in handy during dry-camping. It also tows easily. All in all, we would recommend this 5th wheel without hesitation. Show less

I would not recommend this RV to anyone because of the poor quality we have dealt with. We bought a Cedar Creek Hathaway in January 2018 and after only 1 1/2 years, we have had so much go wrong with it which has been very expensive and time consuming for our family. We have already had to deal with so much this year with our disabled daughter getting pneumonia twice and was in 3 different hospitals; she had to get a trach which was too big and cut off her oxygen, so we thought we had lost her 3 times in one day, etc, etc, etc. Now to have all this trouble with our new RV because there is only a 1 year warranty which ran out 9 months before the issues happened of course. First we had to drive from NM to KY and back with the biggest slide sticking out because while trying to close it the first morning, the rain cover got stuck between the slide and the RV and broke it. After we got home, my husband had to build a part to get the slide to work properly. It's a good thing he is a Mechanical Engineer! Why doesn't the manufacturer already have this figured out and make quality parts so we do not have to remake something to last and that actually works? On the same trip the fender came loose and shredded the tire below it then flew off just as it was getting dark. We asked the company if they would replace it because they didn't do a good job constructing it, but of course they wouldn't. Instead they told us where we could buy new parts. We had to pay a lot of money to buy another one and what an ordeal to get everything put back together!!! I can only imagine the expense if someone had to hire all of this work done. It took us 3 months to get it all finished after ordering the right parts and building new ones. On the first trip after fixing it, just 100 miles down the road, the new fender has come loose again even after my husband glued it this time. It is now broken again. :( We searched for several years trying to make sure we got a good quality RV as well as one we liked, to find out very quickly that the quality is very poor and it is a money pit with no help from the people who built it! It's only been more frustration to deal with. Uggghhh :( I would love to know if there is a more reputable and reliable company out there so we could have avoided all if this mess. We thought Forest River was just that from what we had heard from dealers, but we found out different. I would not buy a Forest River product again after this horrific experience. Show less
