| Re: Forest River Rockwood Roo expandable travel trailer | C.W. | How do you carry 4 bikes on a Roo travel trailer that is 19 feet? I have a Trailblazer. |
| Re: Forest River Surveyor travel trailer | Jon | Just bought a 2011 Surveyor 189 (19 foot). It has a noisy refer fan that is loud enough to keep you awake. When I took it into the dealer I was told they have had 5 complaints on units with the same thing. Of course the standard answer was "There's nothing we can do". After further thought, I called the dealer owner and explained how unhappy I was with the problem and their service department's response. The owner asked to keep the trailer for a few days while trying to get a "fix" from Forest River. I was told Forest River modified the fan to get the refer to fit and it left the noise problem. This is my seconf Forest River-never again. |
| Re: Forest River Surveyor travel trailer | Disappointed | Bought new Forest River Surveyor 29 feet in May. Had problems with the slide and has been back at the dealer for 1.5 months now with them arguing back and forth with warranty division. Should have kept my Mallard. |

| Re: Forest River Georgetown class A motorhome | Steve Riddle, Oklahoma | Just bought a 2011 Forest River Georgetown 37.8 TS and except for the defective louver air conditioner vents, which are being replaced, I love everything about my new motor home. |
| Re: Forest River Surveyor travel trailer | New Campers | Recently bought our first brand new trailer, the Forest River Surveyor. Our steps do feel very sturdy and squeak every time you step on them. We looked at other brands and the steps are attached to the frames, but ours are not. The tech told us that is the way they are! Does anyone else have this problem? |
| Re: Forest River Georgetown class A motorhome | Khan B | Forest River make a great Rv. Never had a motorhome from them but this looks good. |
| Re: Forest River Georgetown class A motorhome | Wendell Baker | Our 2006 Forest River Georgetown is great--except the transmission went out at 24000 miles. Over $2500 in repairs. No hauling of any vehichle. Shouldn't a Ford pump last longer than this?? |
| Re: Forest River Georgetown class A motorhome | marian | Is there anyone who has a 1998 Georgetown 325S brochure I can download |
| Re: Forest River Sunseeker class C motorhome | Julie and Bill | We have a 2004 Forest River Sunseeker. Forest River is good. We've had a good time with this little RV. We did get stranded for a week when our fuel pump broke. We love the size and cozy feeling. It's easy to drive. The kids love it. |
| Re: Forest River Surveyor travel trailer | Tim Seattle | Bought our first new T/T, a 2010 Surveyor SP210, very nice trailer that is light enough to tow with my KIA Sorento. Only odd thing with the trailer was the DVD player is not hard wired to work with a TV. Seemed odd that Forest River would put in a DVD player without a way to hook it up. Furnace is incredibly loud when running. I have heard that is not a unique problem. Other than that great trailer with only a few minor defects at delivery (three loose and one missing screw) |
| Re: Forest River Cherokee travel trailer | Craig P | We had a cherokee for a couple of years and really liked it. Like the floorplans now. Didn't know there were other floorplans when we bought ours, we just bought what the dealer had. We liked it but these reviews make you aware of the possibilities. Thanks. |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood Roo expandable travel trailer | BT | We have a Forest River 23'. The front bunk on it leaked when closed up. Turned out to be the small channel that is where the hinge is located. This was clogged with leaves and all kids of other debris. We cleaned this out so that the water could drain, and we have been dry since. Be sure to keep all rain channels clear especially on a sloped surface. |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood Roo travel trailer | Jan P | We have a 2008 roo and it's really great. Looking forward to using it again this year. Never had a leak or a problem. Really been nice for our family. |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer | witherig | we purchased a 2009 rockwood minilite new from dealer then the dealer went out of business due to fdic closing the bank they used. so far very happy with the camper. |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood Roo expandable travel trailer | Bonnie | We just ordered a 2010 rockwood roo 23SS. We are very excited. We are upgrading from a Coleman popup,but we still wanted the openess. I will keep my finger crossed we don't have any leak problems. Hopefully they improve things year after year. |
| Re: Forest River Surveyor travel trailer | AcadianBob | We bought a 2008 SV235RKS. We found the quality of the trailer upon delivery to be excellent. In 40+ nights of camping, we have had 2 problems; a leaking water fill tube and a broken trolley on the slideout. Both fixed under warranty by our excellent dealer. This trailer pulls very well; a function of torsion bar suspension and the low ride height. We would definitely buy another Surveyor. |
| Re: Forest River Georgetown class A motorhome | Virginia Bates | Have 2004 Georgetown, love it except half-time oven went out and dont know what to do, can anyone help?? |
| Re: Forest River Surveyor Sport travel trailer | Hal P | Really like this trailer. Looking to find an expandable Sport about one or two years old - halp437 at yahoo.com |
| Re: Forest River Flagstaff tent camper | Yves Lacombe | Have a 620ST for the past two years. It's a fine camper. I would trade the electric winch for a crank one but haven't experienced the freefall phenomenon the previous poster mentionned.
Minor quality issues that were fixed by the dealer with no problems at all.
Very happy so far.
