Hello. I am brand new to RVing with a 2016 Forest River Cherokee 274VFK. My wife and I love the floor plan but, we have read some horror stories about Forrest River' product quality. Our Cherokee is sure to be tested as we are planning a 12 month stay in ours while acclimating to a new area. I hope to learn much from the experience in this forum.
Thank You in advance for the education.

Welcome from Wisconsin and congrats on your 2016 Forest River Cherokee 274VFK. There are far more satisfied FR customers than horror stories.

I can not, will never be a member of "It happened to me, so it will happen to you" doomsayer club.

The more you worry about what has not happened to you the less you are going to enjoy things.

IF something does happen deal with it and move on, quickly.

Welcome from SW Idaho.

Welcome From NC. That's why we all give good advice; because we've all been there, done that. Oh! S--t. What the crap was I thinking club. We're all members at some point.

I always say "that's what warranty is for" if it breaks get it fixed, life is much better that way

The wife loves the v-nose front kitchen. Lots of counter tops and cabinets.
