Our Forest River Vibe model is actually a VBT27FK-OR bit that choice was not available on this site. Our dealer declared bankruptcy soon after we purchased the unit. The next closest dealer is two hours away. Parts are not available through Forest River at all. On our first trip, we had a part break. We filed a warranty claim and were told the parts were on order. Now, nearly two years later we do not have the parts. We have noticed several quality defects since then. Our sliding door fell from the ceiling. The screws holding it up are secured to 1/8” ceiling panels. I would not recommend Forest River for your next purchase.

Purchased a 2016 forest River Vibe. Love layout and the camper itself. Unfortunately have had some issues. Purchased the extended warranty because I purchased the Camper used from Myers RV Center. That's useless. My review and comments are for Forest River itself. I Called the corporate office three separate occasions to ask questions, and I never got a call back after leaving messages. Particularly with the parts manager. I've had more run around and never spoke to anyone from the company. So I would say if you like Forest River RV's, check the reviews. I still love my camper but the issues I have never got resolved unless I fixed myself. My latest issue is the 12v refrigerator. I didn't call to ask for them to fix but just to ask what I can do to make better. Apparently my unit was built without a solor system, and vehicle can't handle the charging when traveling. Dealer said forest river didn't install a solar system for that year to maintain the 12v system. Their answering! Call Forezt River....I'm shit out of luck and will have to install myself. Sometimes would be nice to speak to someone from the manufacture to get answers and not have to rely on a person at a dealer you can't trust. At this point, couldnt even get anyone from Forest River to respond..Frustrating company to get someone to speak too.

Purchased a new Vibe in Aug, 2019. refrigerator quit working first outing. Took 5 trips to dealer to get it fixed. This year the first outing the TV falls of the wall, the black water tank flush system doesn't work, interior doors don't open and close properly, and the fresh water tank mounting brackets broke. The dealer has had the unit for 2 months with no completion in sight. Another summer without the use of my camper. When I contact the dealer [Pete's RV] its always that the parts haven't come in. Contacting Forest River is no help either.

We purchased a 2023 Vibe rear kitchen in October 2022. Love the floor plan, beautiful to look at . We have used the camper 9 times and in August of 2024 we went to use the over the bed cabinets and saw that the "wood look" paper was peeling from the sides of the cabinet. Looking further we found the same paper peeling in various places including the entire top of the pull out section. We called the dealer who said it was no longer under warranty. My husband called Forest River directly and they said oh yeah, we had a bad batch of glue. Two days later we found the entire bedroom closet door and jam had fallen off the wall. There is a crack in the top corner of the shower wall. The bathroom faucet handles are cracking and falling off. The camper jack fell down when we were coming home from a trip - scraping the highway all the way home. We had to buy and install a new one. The kitchen seats broke with the first use as the screws were not completely in the correct place. We have since had to reinforce both booth bottoms. Just one issue after another. I have never been so disappointed in such poor use of materials and workmanship for something that we still owe $30,000 on. We paid $50,000. What a complete waste of hard earned money. Do NOT buy a Forest River product!!

I bought the 2013 v cross vibe(forest river) in 2015, for light travel trailer that is 20 foot, it has everything you need plus a good size bathroom. Pull out for bunk/dining area is a full size pull out, so adds space. Quality of finish is so so. Here is what I font like, the queen bed in back is up high, if Lower would be much better, in 2013 Forest River decided to put a 3500 pound axle on a 3300 pound trailer, then in a couple years later did a recall, they sold these travel trailers with a carrying weight of I think around 590 pounds, then they mailed out a sticker to put over old sticker that reduces carrying weight to like 200 pounds total. That is unacceptable, wonder why there has not been a class action lawsuit yet? Is like selling you a truck with 10,000 pound towing capacity and a few years later tell you max is 5000 pounds. There is large storage in back, but useless, once on road that storage needs to be empty or trailer will be back heavy and sway bad. Also they Place the single axle in basically very middle, so is very rear heavy and going up steep inclines tends to scrape the rear scissor Jack's. In 2014 they put 4400 pound axle and 15 inch tires. I love the trailer, but have to be cautious everytime I tow to make sure weight is all toward front. I take it out weeks a year, no real issues except at first when the sway, then I put on a single sway bar and took everything out and put in truck. Don't know if I will ever buy a forest river product again after they knew they ripped off consumers by sending a sticker as their way of fixing the axle that was not strong enough for the trailer. I may go and buy new axle to fix this, is kind of scarey.
