Would never buy another one. Bought it new in 2013. Many problems. In shop over month last summer during prime camping season, this summer has been in shop for 3 weeks, during prime camping season, bunch of crap!!!

If you bought it new in 2013, how was it in the shop last summer? Sorry for your problems. Hope you get everything fixed soon.

I know! I know!!! Just guessing here, but I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of:

1) Buy a brand new toy hauler
2) Load it to the hilt with ATV/side by sides and stuff
3) bomb down that 4x4 trail as fast as possible to ensure you get the "prime" camping spot
4) Cruise back after camping just as fast
5) Then start asking "Why is my trailer falling apart?"

Sorry, but that's what my Uncle did.... He couldn't figure out why the trailer wasn't capable of holding together like his side by side.... I told him to slow the puppy down....

Or it's built like junk like many RVs are and loaded with poor workmanship but I agree with a few posts ago asking what is the point? Is the OP looking for help fixing things or are they just trying to vent?

Here's my guess.
Shower leaks ( they all do easy fix)
Slide out rubs on carpet(easy adjustment)
Cabinet door fell off or loose (another easy fix)
Water leak somewhere (seems to be a under tighten fitting)
Crooked blinds
Cheap tires
I drove 1000 miles to pick up a 380 amp that had everything we wanted from a dealers knew nothing about,did I have any issues with them or rv?.i can say that I only had very minor problems that could have been easily overlooked,I would buy forest river again I think they are top of the line in toyhaulers.

I hope this blog does not become a venue where members get to cursing and criticizing other members concerning their posts. I thought the intent of this blog was for responsible campers to be able to share experiences, problems and solutions with each other. I was disturbed by the member who made crude remarks in the discussion about 1/2 ton tow vehicles. If this becomes the norm I out of here and hope others will do the same.

Anybody towing a double axle 5er with a 1/2 ton is asking for trouble.
