It's been quite a while since I've logged onto this forum. (Years I think) I find it funny there's still fresh threads about Forest River and their quality. IMO based on my own experience and close friends who own FR products, it's anybody's guess on how well your particular trailer will hold up. Back in the early 2000's, I had a very negative experience with FR and their lack of quality and customer support. Long story short....I purchased a new 2002 Wildwood. By the beginning of the 3rd season the roof rotted out due to it not being finished and properly sealed before it left the factory. I had to sick my lawyer on them before they'd admit it was their fault (FR tried to say it was my lack of proper maintnenence) and they had to get the repairs done. Even at that, I had to take it down to Goshen, IN myself and they had it for almost 3 months before I got it back. They did do a good job with the repairs. Even so, I promptly drove it home and traded up for a 2004 Sunnybrook 3310 that's still going strong today. That was my experience. I know of folks that have had zero problems with their FR products and I know some who have. It's really hard to say. Best thing to do is go over the rig with a fine tooth comb and don't settle for any defect or problem you find. Open cabinets, check under counters, look behind access panels, etc. Best of luck to you and happy camping!
