Forest River is so famous that you can find Forest River products in almost every campground. In my opinion, Forest River has some outstanding features that distinguish them from other brands. They require strict standards for their products. These automobiles are subjected to additional review to make sure that each model meets all criteria, including pipework, electrical and LP systems, cosmetics, rain bay, function, navigator, as well as other miscellaneous tests.
LOL - No, not even close.
Generally, the best build quality comes from independent "Mom and Pop" companies.
Some examples:
Bigfoot
Casita
Escape
Oliver
Outdoors RV
Arctic Fox
None of these companies is owned by a large RV manufacturing conglomerate.
Not coincidentally, the best service also often comes from these same brands. Most of them have few or no dealers, so service is handled right at the factory.
The technicians are good at troubleshooting and fixing them, due to being intimately familiar with them - It's all they ever work on.
Being located right at the factory, they also have factory replacement parts immediately available - No sitting on a dealer's service lot waiting 3 months for parts to be shipped and installed.
