You will hear many negative posts about forest river and many positives about cedar creek. How's that for confusing? Here's how it works
Forest river is a HUGE company owned by an even bigger company (Berkshire Hathaway- warren buffet). Forest river has been buying up many other Rv companies and one of those is Cedar Creek.
Forest river then manufactures trailers under thier own name and these other companies do as well.
So quality and price are very much dependant on what model you buy.
All this is not unique at all. Thor industries does exactly the same with making trailers under thier name while owning keystone (cougar and Montana), airstream and many others.
