Are all Forest River products garbage?

As a former FR Rockwood owner, I will say that I am not a fan of Forest River products. They use the same components that most other manufacturers use so it is not fair to judge them based on component failure complaints. My complaints about FR in general is poor attention to detail and poor construction techniques. Fit and finish is usually lacking on their trailers and you will find a higher percentage of little annoyance type failures.

All things considered, when you buy a FR trailer, you are not paying the same price that you would for KZ, Mobil Suites or any other top of the line models. The old adage that you get what you pay for rings true with Forest River. They are good for what they are (upper entry level units) and nothing more. Most of the complaints, including mine, come from people that probably expect more than they paid for.

I don't mind less than perfect fit and finish in a low-cost TT but I won't compromise on construction quality. Most of the negative owner comments that I read seem to stem from poor construction problems.

i bought a new 2014 flagstaff over the christmas holidays and have been over it with a fine tooth comb. the construction is high end, and the quality is impeccable. the dealer totally checked everything out and gave me a one hour walk through. i ordered it with most all the bells and whistles. the laminate fiberglass aluminum frame construction is top notch. this ain't my first rodeo. ive had two 5rs, and an ultra lite. this is by far the best consructed yet.
