Forest River 30DS

I looked a new Forest River 30 DS this weekend, but I'm not that familiar with the manufacturer. Are they an independent manufacturer or are they owned by someone else? They look like pretty nice units and seem well equipped for an entry level motorhome. Any feedback on them would be appreciated.

  • Don't think I would ever buy another Forest River product. Took them from the 16th of July to the 10th of October to get the replacement front cap to my dealer under warranty. This was a 2013 Flagstaff. To me that was unsatisfactory service. JMHO
  • i would assume you are looking at a georgetown
    forest river is a berkshire-hathaway company
    warren buffet is ceo since he owns every thing
    it is a well funded company
    we enjoy our gtown and have used it about 200 night since new
    no major problems and the few we had were taken care of even after
    the warranty period the replaced our seats (defective piping) and replaced our steps that were not always returning
    if we had to purchase a new unit to-morrow they would be 1st on my list
    12000 miles of enjoy Americas hi-ways and bi-ways
