Forest River says: "The Salem LA (laminate)
line is designed for cost conscious RV’ers who are
seeking the contemporary look of fiberglass with an
aluminum framed superstructure and vacuum-bonded
laminate side walls. In addition to structural
differences from the
Salem LE line, we’ve added some standard features to
take your RV experience to the next level. All Salem LA
’s come standard with radius entry doors, tinted
windows, 3/8” walk on roof decking, heated and enclosed
underbelly, etched glass in the slide-out cabinets, two
interior wood grain options and an upgraded exterior
graphics package."
The above exterior is the
LA312-QBBS model (see floorplans below) |
The Forest River Salem LA with aluminum framed
superstructure really is a well thought out
trailer with an amazing array of options with lengths
between around 29 and 37 feet. All models have
slides and there is a choice of floorplans with or

| Ken Bolinger | I'm a Forest River fan. We have the Salem LE 19BH. Very small but very easy to tow. No slide but everything we need. And the price was amazing. I look at many of these reviews and wonder why so many people pay so much money. The Salem is good quality at a real good price. |
| Rossiter | Really like Forest River. We have the 2008 235RKS Surveyor rear slide. Wonderful RV and great floorplan with the king bed slide and the twin bunks. Big enough for our family but small enough to tow easily. |
| charles paton | Love forest river hated the dealer we bought it from. forest river have given us a lot of support and i really think they're a good company we have the surveyor and it's a really good rv. chuck. |
| John Parkes | I've always been a fan of Forest River. I've had 2 of their RVs and been totally satisfied both times. |
| Greg H | We have a 2007 Forest River Rockwood Lite. This is our first RV and we've been very happy with it. The bunk beds work fine and it's perfect for a family of 4. No real problems and it tows well. We've had a few minor issues dealt with by the dealer and they are not easy to deal with but Forest River are very helpful when you talk to them. I would certainly buy Forest River again but I would choose a different dealer. |
