I remember during the recession 10 years ago, a few new Forest River owners were complaining they had day light from the outside seen inside their upper cabinets where the wall meets the ceiling. Apparently the construction interconnect between the wall and roof had gaps. The dealers solved the problems with friggin caulk.
After reading too many unhappy FR threads, I encouraged people (in private) to shy away from any Forest River product. I heard the company was bought out since those days, hoping the reformed company cleaned up their quality issues. Apparently not so much.
Spend the extra cash and buy a Phoenix Cruiser ;). PC owners are a happy bunch. Read our experiences on the PC forum HERE. No rig is 100% perfect and Phoenix Cruisers are no exception. But put into perspective, PCs are ranked very high in quality in design, material, and workmanship.
