I bought a travel trailer from them in October. They were easy to do business with.
I just returned yesterday from a 3700 mile trip with my trailer and I did have to replace one of the tires due to a separated sidewall. Both tires also were wearing excessively on the inside, so I need to contact their service department to follow up with them about warranty and/or recommendations.
Will post later about their customer service.
Well I went to Funtown for service on my travel trailer. I was not impressed at all. I did not make an appointment and of course I didn't expect to have my problem addressed immediately, but I didn't expect to have to beg the service guy to come out to my tt just to let me explain the issue so I could leave it. He was initially rude though I will admit that after I convinced him to at least walk out to the tt to look at it he did seem ok. Things were going pretty well till he got it written up and proceeded to tell me that it would be 4-5 weeks before they "LOOK" at it. That doesn't include getting approval for the warranty work, ordering parts if needed, etc.
The issue to me at least is minor and he did seem to indicate that they might at least look at it within two weeks after further discussion about the timing and the fact that I'm planning a weekend trip in two weeks. He said they might be able to at least look at it and then I can pick it up for use while they do the parts ordering etc.
Since I am in the market for a new tt, I did discuss the issue with my salesman(same that sold me the tt being serviced) and he said he would contact the service manager on my behalf.
Bottom line is if they can't give me reasonable service on this unit, I won't buy another from them. I did find that RV-Max down the road is also a Forest River dealer. They told me that they can do warranty work on the unit and that I should expect 1-2 days to assess the issue or I can set an appointment and then of course they have to deal with Forest River for warranty approval, parts etc at that point.
