Two years ago we bought a Forest River Cherokee 274vfk. I've been very impressed with the materials and the build quality. The only repairs that have been required are the replacement of the wood screws that secure the bedroom overhead storage with bolts that go through the wood with a flat washer, lock washer and nut on the inside of the storage bin. The other repair was for the strip that anchors one side of the v-nose to the trailer body. The plastic strip that covers the screw heads came loose. I bought a $14 roll of the plastic cover material and had it fixed in less than 10 minutes. Any other work has been typical maintenance such as cleaning and repacking the wheel bearings and replacing the Castle Rock tires with Good Year Endurance Tires.
Last year we toured the factory in Topeka, IN where our travel trailer was built. Many of the craftsmen building the travel trailers are Amish and getting to view the trailers in all states of assembly was very interesting. They're efficient but not sloppy and the quality control was excellent. I've been extremely happy with the quality of our Forest River travel trailer.
