Old guy, I believe that Forest River now owns/makes 82 different brands. Now that figure includes pontoon boats, park models and other non RV items. These RV's are made in many different plants that operate somewhat autonomously. So to say Forest River is bad, really doesn't say much. You may have problems with an R Pod for example but no problem at all with a Columbus. And is the problem with the construction or with the components that are under individual company warranties or service.
Having just come from the FROG (Forest River Owners Group) rally, I saw first hand the commitment that Forest River makes to its customers. And I don't believe that any other manufacturer comes even close. The technicians were friendly, knowledgeable (or if they did know got someone who was) and efficient. Yes they replaced microwaves, awnings, refrigerators, etc. but that other than those components were used in the trailers is not directly Forest Rivers' problem if they don't perform properly.
To answer the OP's question, the Sandpiper units that I saw at the rally seemed to be a good unit at their price point.
