You know you have an FR camper when you are 4 years out of warranty; pull into the Goshen rally and a team of experts literally just about rebuild your camper for free.

You know you have an FR camper when the cool kids at the campground can't believe you got such a great deal on your unit.

You know you have an FR camper when you find out that all the cool kids own campers made by that same manufacturer.

You know you have an FR camper cause you get to hang out on the FR Forums with the TRULY cool kids.

I could go on, but need to go camping!

You know you own a Forest River product when you are at the rally in Goshen and you see four frogs and a dog drive by on a golf cart.

You know you have a FR trailer when you consider selling your good unit because the FR dealer is so difficult to deal with.

I know the taillights meet dot spec, but I would have liked to have seen a little bigger. I was running with a group this weekend that had these big taillights that just screamed stop when the brakes got tapped, I think my little ones are less noticeable which as a safety Sally kind of annoys me. Than again others would probably say that bigger would look funny. Like coot says, I can always hit a store or the internet if it bothers me too much.

I know I have a FR trailer, and had a FR motorhome, and realize honestly after owning them, that any brand is as good as another. That being said, I "kind of" still like mine, and FR / dealer is taking care of me. For that, I do like FR. Quality? No matter what brand, the demand and speed in which they're built is destroying the quality.

Does "empty weight include funiture (i.e. rocker/recliners, free standing dinnette table and chairs, etc.) that are not integral to the unit?

Was speaking of a generic dog.

Poor Toby was a hostage and was tied to the cart.

Toby was the best looking (and best behaved) of the whole bunch.

When you look closely at your flat tire and it says "Trail Express."
