I would strongly discourage anyone from buying and Forest River Sabre Product. We purchased our new June/ 2015. The day we took delivery of this unit there were several things that were either not working or defective. The dealer told us to take it and the bring it back later to have these items repaired. The first time we used it we entered the trailer and found mouldings, valances and blinds that were either loose or had fallen off. All either not fastened at all or fastened poorly. When taken back to the dealer over 30 items needed to be repaired. June/2017 we are still waiting for some of these to be repaired. Forest River Sabre has been Terrible in addressing these problems. The quality of this unit is terrible, no quality control by Forest River. We were sold on the floor plan and initially thought we were buying a good product. We were fooled, it is junk, Forest River does not stand behind its product. It should not take 2 years to get warranty items repaired. I do not recommend anything built by Forest River Show less

I purchased a Forest River Sabre Cobalt 2 bedroom 5th wheel in 04/2024 for $88,000 plus $7500 and paid for an extended warranty from RV Broker through Good Sams. My refrigerator has been non functional since 02/2024 and was still under factory warranty. I have paid out of pocket roughly $520 to have the service techs come out to my trailer twice. They finally dertermined I need a new refrigerator and want another $240 to come out an additional time to install the replacement fridge. I've now been out of a fridge for over 2 months and still waiting. Frustrating as hell. Wait time on phone for RV Broker for service call follow up this morning was 40 minutes. Still not resolved. At this point I would highly recommend staying away from RV Broker and Forest River all together. Simply no excuses for such horrible service. Show less

LOVE our trailer and forest river. Family of 4 with 2 dogs..lots of space for everyone and tones of storage! Our door locks had problem a few trips out, called forest river and they sent tech out within the hour. He got us in trailer and ordered part which we had replaced in two weeks. We have had it 5 seasons and travelled all over with it. Easy hookup, easy haul, in great shape. Two big awnings give you lots of coverage outside and slides go out nicely. People need to remember that these are not built like houses and we are driving them at highway speeds, things are going to loosen! I love the quality, look and feel of forest river and love how our trailer has performed. (People also need to remember that those with negative experiences are more likely to write reviews and most owners don’t write reviews at all. Also, many reviews are people angry at the dealer, but it has nothing to do with the product.) We are now upgrading to our forever unit as we found a permanent spot for it and will be camping every weekend and year round. We are sticking with forest river and have a 5th wheel Sabre. Sad to let our travel trailer go, will miss it, but so thankful for 5 seasons of fun memories! Show less

I purchased the 2021 45 foot Sabre 5th wheel last year as a live in home. We have put a whopping 75 miles on the tires sinse we bought it. This rv has been a nightmare from the get go. The front door was stiff and wouldnt open or close properly and in the first three months tore itself apart and had to be replaced. EVERY single water line connection on this rv leaks. And yes i have an inline pressure regulator to limit the pressure so no its just shitty workmanship. The awning stopped working . the heater stopped working. The a/c works intermittently. The usb ports light up 24/7 but wont power anything. Trying to get any repairs done on it is like pulling teeth a constant battle with the dealer to honor the warrantee. I am EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED AND WILL NEVER EVER BUY FOREST RIVER PRODUCTS AGAIN!!! Show less

Simply put this is the worst purchase we've ever made! This unit is so dangerous that we will never use it again. Every time we have used it we have blown (2) tires while in use. This is such a problem that Forest River took it from Arizona back to the factory in Indiana for repairs. We were with out it for almost a year. Once we got it back, we still have problems. This past weekend we blew two tires while traveling between Utah & Arizona. Care to guess how many spares are on-board this unit? Yep, just one! Chad Cook with Sabre Warranty confirmed that it is out of warranty and "good luck to you" ... even with the recorded history of this unit. We have had issues from the very first trip, what does it take to have someone look at this more? An accident with injuries or death? Anyway, we intend to pursue legal action, in the mean time PLEASE, PLEASE consider every other brand and manufacturer when making your next RV purchase. 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

Like many others, my experience with a Sabre has been a rocky road. I think the 2019 model year was a bad one for Forest River/Sable. The first two years uncovered numerous issues, most small things that could be fixed myself, however, since the unit had to be in for major repairs, I let the service center do it all. The most major issues were: 1. Living room slide floor not installed properly leading to flor rot and screws pulling out. 2. Kitchen slide floor fell out under the residential fridge, caused by insufficient screws, and screws that were too short. Kitchen trim kept separating because of poor workmanship. 3. Living slide roof sagged because of warped boards. This caused a leak in the center of the slide. 4. Roof boards pieced together so areas were sagging (not good for snow load). Entire roof was removed and replaced. 5. Fresh water tank cracked and leaked. Needed to be replaced 6. Water leak under bathroom sink, causing water drip in pass through area. Required PEX replacement. As for the minor issues, well poor workmanship is all I can say. Lack of caulk, cabinet doors coming off, bathroom door warped and tough to close. Lack of attention to detail is a huge issue. Cost cutting in areas that cannot afford any shortcuts My recommendation to anyone buying...take your time to check everything on your walkthrough. Insist on testing the operation of EVERYTHING. Be picky, and demand things are fixed immediately, or get them on a list so they are reported BEFORE the warranty period ends. This is a big investment for many, so it is worth the time/effort to make sure it is right. Even after that, you will encounter issues, so be patient and work the system. Show less

We purchased our 2022 Sabre 37FBT from Camping World in Indianapolis. The purchase was painful enough, that's a whole other review. Short version, don't waste your time. They don't want to work with you unless you have an unlimited budget and know exactly what you want when you get there. But that's a good starting point. We had to fight to get them to even show us several Fifth Wheels that they had on the lot. We ended up walking around by ourselves to look. When we did settle on this one (after another battle that included their corporate office), we asked them to have it open and ready for us to inspect since it's a 4.5 hour drive from where we live. When we get there, no power, not open, no way to inspect it and they didn't care enough to even try to move it for us to inspect it. We did the paperwork and would come back the following weekend to pick it up. When we got back it was there and open, so we inspected it. The items we were able to find from our initial inspection we not repaired. We also found several more items and made a list with pictures. We were told we needed to give all of that to our representative and the parts would be ordered. We requested they be sent to Bowling Green as that was the closest dealership to us. That didn't happen. We called multiple times to see when the parts would be shipped and that the awning had pulled out of the outer wall the first time we opened it. We haven't been able to use the awning at all and we've this camper for almost a year. Other parts that were ordered were supposedly hand delivered to the Bowling Green store. Nobody bothered telling us that this happened. We had to call constantly. Once they said they had everything, we made the appointment for the repairs. Before I took it in, I made sure they had what was needed to repair everything. They did not, so I cancelled the appointment. After talking to the Bowling Green service department, they stated they weren't able to get the Indianapolis store to call them back to go over what was sent, what was ordered, etc. If these are the same company, they should be able to look up owner's info since supposedly we can take our camper to any Camping World anywhere. This has gone on for so long, that I went to Indianapolis and got copies of all the paperwork and delivered it to the Bowling Green service department. Now, several more months have gone by and they are supposedly verifying what was ordered, what was delivered, and ordering other parts since now, the wall in the bedroom is separating, the trim in several spots has fallen off, I've had to fully crimp over 10 different PEX connections due to leaks, and this is combined with the awning issue, the microwave issue, the water heater door issue, the recall on the LP system, cabinet door issues, the shower doors leaking issue... Now for the camper itself. It's supposed to be 4 season usable. Nope. The heater can't keep up when it's cold. There is no insulation in this thing. The floors are freezing and the heater has to be augmented by the fireplace and an additional heater. The belly isn't heated well and the water lines will freeze unless an additional heater is put in the basement to keep it above freezing. There are no outlets in the this thing and the all of the ones that are present on one breaker. That makes no sense. It has the main landing legs and two additional automatic jacks. That's it. It's shaky and wobbly. I've added two additional sets of scissor jacks to make it better. The half bath has two lights in the ceiling, but no light switch. They have to be turned on by the buttons on the lights. Perfect for little ones who use it in the middle of the night. So far, all of the faucets have leaked and had to be tightened or lines replaced. The storage area doors are cheap don't shut completely unless you turn the latches and lock them. Instead of just putting on two latches, they chose one latch and the lock as the best method to close the doors completely. I will say that it has lots of storage outside. That is one bright spot. It also came with the solar system to keep the battery charged. Not sure how long it lasts or anything, but that was a bonus. Compared to our 2013 Sabre fifth wheel, this on is a step down. We had a 30', that was better built, more insulated, plenty of cabinets and storage. This one is 42', with less storage, less outlets, less insulation, and on and on. I would look at other brands before buying another Sabre. It's difficult since there are only a few companies building RVs. This is our 3rd Forest River. The second was a 2021 Brookstone that had to go back due to being a lemon that caused us to have to buying a 2022. So coupled with the two crappy Forest River units we've had the last two years and terrible experience with Camping World in Indianapolis and Bowling Green, I am only giving this a one star. I would give it less if allowed. Show less
