Forest River Sandpiper 5th Wheel Reviews :::

Hi Guys, I am looking at moving from my Lance TC to a 32 foot Forest River fiver and would like any feedback available on this company.
I understand the Wildcat is also FR and I'm seeing them everywhere out here. Thanks in advance.

    On our second FR Sierra/Sandpiper with no major issues. Current unit, in Sig, going on three years with only an A/C failure that Dometic replaced under warranty in my driveway. Would another in A second.

    I remember several years ago people complaining about the stated weight verses the actual weight of the Sandpipers, and that the axles, and tires were barely adequate for that weight.
    Thats the only complaint I recall.

    I had a Forest River Surveyor and now have a Forest River Sandpiper 365. Virtually zero issues with either unit. Dealer though does awesome job at inspecting units upon delivery.

    We had a Wildcat for 13 years. It served us well, never leaked and in some ways it was built better than our new Northwood unit.
