| Re: Forest River Rockwood ultra lite travel trailer | Jessica L | We bought a brand new Rockwood in 2008. As soon as we pulled off the lot the mechanic had to come out and replace a breaker. The electric part of the hot water tank doesn't work. The wallpaper is bubbled up and peeling. Only half of the electric outlets work. Then the water leaked. Then the roof leaked. Replaced both acels twice. Which left us stranded twice. The lines leaked and ruined our whole floor. Of course they do not want to fix anything due to it not being covered under warranty anymore. I am sorry but when you pay $32000 for a brand new rv u expect not to have major issues with it. This thing is a nightmare and I would never recommend buying anything made by Forest River. Rockwoods are junk!!!! I should of just lit $32000 dollars on fire because this thing is not worth anything. |

Once deal was settled, What price range was it in? Thanks |
| Re: Forest River Georgetown class A motorhome | Hating Georgetown | My father has always wanted a Class A RV after having many travel trailers. My father purchased a 2011 Georgetown GTA350. The first month it was back at the dealership twice for things not finished. After a month of waiting on the dealer to finish the repairs it was returned with more problems. Every time they travel now, my sister and I have to be ready to come to them. Electrical problems, leveler problems, heat/air problems...you name it, they've had it. The dealership is good about attempting to fix the problems, but just last week while it was back for another problem, an employee rubbed a 5th wheel down the side of it. The factory has been no help whatsoever about fixing the issues. A convection oven issue took calls to the manufacturer from my father to get replacement parts that had to be installed by the dealership. Don't buy these motorhomes please! Cardinal is made by them also and they have problems galore from what the dealer has told us. Even the dealer regrets taking this company as a product. |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood ultra lite travel trailer | Sad Sack | Bought this trailer new in 2010. So far it's been a big disappointment. Both pop outs were blowing fuses. Fixed finally by the dealer. The front landing legs blew fuses. Fixed by the dealer. The large pop out drive mechanism clutch failed on a trip, fortunately in the "in" position. The unit sat at the dealers for a month until it was repaired. (Non warranty) The lights above the main sleeping area dropped out of the ceiling.The overhead storage cupboards over the sink area pulled away from the wall mounts and dropped approximately three quarters of an inch. Owner added bracing between counter and cupboard bottoms. The propane gas fired oven would not stay lit. Dealer sort of repaired same. The propane gas regulator failed to support more than one burner at a time. Owner replaced and adjusted same. The main escape window in the master bedroom shook free during a trip and was lost on the highway somewhere in Northern Ontario. Owner ordered a replacement and installed it with modifications to prevent this from happening again. I think by now you must be seeing the obvious. Forest River have no quality assurance programs in place. It's obvious to me that the "farm kids" assembling these trailers are ill equipped for the job. This is my first and last Forest River RV. On the up side, this one is probably the best one of the lot as it has been pretty well gone over and debugged now. Now that I'm retired I may apply to Forest River for a consulting job. |
| Re: Forest River Prime Time LaCrosse travel trailer | jim | bought a 2011 lacrosse luxuty light by prime time, there are so many problems i can't list them all. their design engineer should be fired or at least sent to school somewhere. shame such a beautiful camper is so flawed |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood ultra lite travel trailer | Nick | I bought a 2012 Forest River 2304 and have nothing but problems. The a/c freezes up and then when it thaws it leaks all over the TV the dinette cushions and most likely there is water in the walls,the shower leaks, the trim is on backwards and when we tried to have Driftwood the dealer fix it they told us nothing was wrong. I would NEVER buy a Forest River again...EVER!!! |

| Re: Forest River Georgetown class A motorhome | Begone2 | Hi, I purchased a used 2008 374 Georgetown and wonder if anyone has the Battery Control Panel wiring schimatics. The panel outfit was sold by RV Custom Products who are no longer in business. The document under the retracting entrance step is pretty much gone. I have a brown wire hanging and with 2 new side batteries and new coach battery not holding a charge. Open circut somewhere?? Step will not stay retracted when parked. I took specs from Lippert it was some help. Also green wire to chasis is hooked up t battery pack?? Lippert shows it marked to chassis.??
Any help on any of these issues would be really fantastic. Thanks Stuck in laneway. |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood ultra lite travel trailer | rockdud | we have a model 2604. since we have owned it, it has been to the factory on two occassions. first time for stress cracks to the rear end. warrenty covered the repairs. next summer the roof was leaking where the repairs occured. Had to go through BBB to get it fixed. service is terrible, design is flawed. the hinges are falling off the cabinets and now a water leak under shower that I cant access without pulling vanity and shower unit. Very poor design. It only gets used a couple times a year, we have been very disappointed so far. |
| Re: Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup travel trailer | Tina | 2011 wolf pup 1035 miles on it tires shot on the inside, gonna see what they will do |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood Roo expandable travel trailer | DaleW | We bought a 2006 Rockwood Roo 26RS new, so have had it five years. Excellent camper, love the hard slide out. Perfect for a 4 kid family. Have replaced the sink fixtures, other than that been trouble free. |
| Re: Forest River XLR toy hauler fifth wheel | Cheryl Petrowiak | I'm trying to put this politely... LOve our new 2012 XLR 5th Wheel toy hauler.But the quality of it really sucks! This is the first brand new camper we have ever bought and didn't expect all of the major things to go wrong.My feelings is they slapped it together so fast that they didn't care what type of product was being sent out. We used once and the wiring was crossing that would short everything out. the stablizers in the back had to be manually screwed on.and then when camped only the second time we didn't realize we had to manually check our slide outs too. We go to use it and it bends in the whole fender! it leaks behind the shower,little nails (where trim should be) the lever for the gray water didn't push in)our friends have had worse problem... there slide out didn't go in, the water for their pump kept pumping put water in the cargo area, they turned on air and wood particles blew up. I just feel its brand new we have only used it 3 times really? USA quality should mean something right? |
| Re: Forest River V-Cross ST Super Lite travel trailer | Tim | We purchased a 2011 V-Cross with front kitchen and love it. There is a lot of storage and it is perfect for a small family or a couple. Our first trip was to the mountains and we pulled it with a Dodge 3500 Dually and average 15 miles to the gallon through the mountains for more than 100 miles and that included sitting on the highway for over 30 minutes for an accident with the motor running. Not bad mileage for up hill and down hill driving. On flat ground I have gotten about 18 miles to the gallon towing the unit. Just like pulling anything behind a vehicle you know that it is there but with the sway kit there is very littl to no noticeable movement/drag. The V-Cross has surprised us with quality craftsmanship and cabinetry. The unit looks great and after shopping around for several months it met all of our needs and wants. Would definitely recommend the V-Cross and if there were any changes we would make it would be the leveling jacks but, that to me is something that can be done at anytime. Great product!! |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood Roo expandable travel trailer | lori | doe anyone have the rockwood roo expandable toy hauler? If so how much can you put in the front cargo area? |
| Re: Forest River V-Cross ST Super Lite travel trailer | cath | WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE V NOSE CAMPER I HAVE A GREY WOLF THE TIRES WORE OUT VERY QUICKLY ON THE INSIDE |
| Re: Forest River Rockwood Roo travel trailer | Barklee | In 30 years of camping, we went from bigger and bigger tents to a Coleman pop-up. No longer produced by Coleman, we could not replace a 12 year old trouble-free pop-up. We looked at the "next step" and found the hybrids. The Forest River 233S is an amazing trailer. I "over researched" hybrids and found this model and brand to meet any standards I could impose. Advice: shop around for the best price. Ours was custom built with options we added. We paid frieght charges by ordering it from a volume dealer and having shipped to a dealer near us. The local dealer could not match the "volume/out-of-state" price. Hopefully, if needed, service will not be an issue with a local Forest River dealer, who did not sell us the unit. |
| Re: Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf travel trailer | Camper John | Have a 2011 Forest River Cherokee used 5-times and all the tires wore out. They are Trail Express. BEWARE of these tires, they are ALL BAD and have not been recalled. Lots of small stuff going wrong on this Fifth Wheel. Would never buy one again. |
