    1) We love our Sabre 36QBOK. We had one of the earliest ones off of the production line - literally in the first dozen that they built.

    2) We just had issues with one of our Schwintek slides that required a factory return trip. It started as a debacle and turned me into a devoted Sabre customer. Love the product + company now. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. The plus side- the schwintek slides are no longer used on the 36QB.

    3) The MegaCab- if it is pre-2013, it will have an extremely limited payload capacity. If you want to stay within your ratings, you'll likely want to look at another truck. The 36QB run with about 2,300 - 2,500 pounds of pin weight.

    4) I have a bunch of pictures from a tour of the Sabre factory and they were building a handful of 36QBs in the early part of the line:

    5) Forest River/Sabre offers a 2nd year warranty for $150. Your dealer likely won't mention it, but buy it.

    6) My next camper will likely be from RVW instead of my local dealer. I'm not happy with their service whatsoever.


    thanks for all those info

  • We have had our 34RLQS for over a year and towed more than 10,000 miles and we love it. It has been great with only very minor problems. I think that you will be hard pressed to find more trailer for the money.
  • Might want to check your GVW on the Mega Cab. I believe they are a bit lower than the double cab ones and, when we looked at them, the bed seemed to be a bit shorter than the double cab ones.
  • We have a 2013 Sabre 34REQS-6 and have been very happy with it. Only 2 minor problems which our dealer took care of right away, string broke on day/night shade and kitchen faucet handle was loose and after repeated attempts by me to tighten the set screw it eventually got stripped.

    Bought our cruiser there in 05, very good experience

    good to know thanks for the feedback
  • Have not had any experience with them, the floor plan looks nice and at 14666 GVWR The RAM will be a great choice for a TV with a cavernous cab for the family.
