Concertone

FOR SOME REASON MY POST GOT ERASED NOT SURE WHY.
I NOW HAVE MY 2ND CONCERTONE SYSTEM IN 3 MONTHS.
THE WAY FOREST RIVER IS ADRESSING THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
REDICULOUS.AND BY THE WAY CONCERTONE IS PART OF THE FOREST RIVER PARENT COMPANY APPARENTLY.THEY BUILD A GREAT TRAILER IN MY OPINION
BUT WHEN YOU SPEND HARD EARNED MONEY ON SOMETHING NICE THEN FIND OUT THAT LITARALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH
THIS DUMPSTER FOOD THEY PASS OFF AS A "HIGH TECH SYSTEM" IT LEAVES A BAD TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH.



SORRY TO SOUND NEGATIVE BUT IVE HAD OUR NEW TT OUT 4 TIMES
AND 3 OUT OF 4 TIMES THE PIECE OF GARBAGE DIDNT WORK.

Thanks for venting.
Did you call Forest River and tell them how you felt?
Did you call your dealer and tell them how you felt?

Did everything else in your trailer work ok?
Did you have a good time camping???????

My concertone is crap too but everything else is working pretty good.
We're going out again next week!!!

Point Taken!

GOOD POINT. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND MY TRAILER IS
AWESOME OTHER THAN THE CONCERTONE. I WOULD FULLY
SUGGEST A FOREST RIVER TO ANYONE. IF THEY JUST FIXED THIS PROBLEM
THEY WOULD BE PERFECT.

i replaced mine 11 times. the new unit i got the last time has been great so far. it is also the first new unit i have got. all the other ones had been referbished. i am told the new unit has internals from a different source. so far it works. i was in contact with the vp of forest river and this unit is supposed to fix all the troubles they are having. good luck.

2009 cherokee 39bs ok so far

Took delivery on June 20 and so far mine is working fine, although its a very poor system. Maybe they fixed a few hundred bugs the unit had.

awesome dealer

MUST ADMIT I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE A DEALER FACING THESE CONCERTONE ISSUES.THAT BEING SAID MY DEALER IS FABULOUS
THEY UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND ORDERED OUR THIRD UNIT.
THEY CANT DO ENOUPH FOR US AND WE WILL ALWAYS GO BACK TO THEM IN THE FUTURE FOR TRAILERS.IF ANYONE IN THE NJ,PA,NY - NORTHEAST AREA NEEDS AN AWESOME DEALER THEY ARE IT. HIGHLY SUGGEST TRYING THEM.

We have a Concertone 500 in our Cherokee 27BH and the dealer told us that they had to replace our suddenly non-working unit with the new 600 model. The 500 unit has been discontinued due to the many problems it's had. Go figure.

A JVC head unit for a car fixed my Concertone problems!

I just a bought a new 2007 Forest River Wildcat 26 FBS and I love it, however, the Concertone 500 doesn't work at all. It blows fuses and you can see that the installer pinched wires when they pushed it into it's mounting position. The dealer bought a new Concertone 600 as a replacement and then said that it didn't have the tv coax jack in the rear and that the factory rep said that the Concertone 550 is the proper replacement...Now I'm waiting for the 550. Not a good sign.

Good luck.
Our fingers are crossed for you.
There are folks here who think their concertones are great.
There are some of us who think they are way overpriced piece of crap.
My 3rd one has issues but it works so I've given up trying to get a perfect one.
I hope yours is perfect.

Annnnnnnnddddd WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!!!!!
