Anyone have the Forest River Blue Ridge 3025?

I did end up buying this 5th wheel. It is in beautiful condition and it was well under nada min price.

I haven't had any problems that would relate to your method of use.

I'm only a sample of one, but keep in mind that most people won't post anything about how great their rigs are. Instead, they will post about the problems they have/had and look for a solution to a problem.

If you don't intend to move the trailer around much or at all, I would say that pretty much any "modern" trailer will do the job with minimal upkeep.

Thanks, I needed to hear that.

Does anyone know if this model has the arched ceiling? Is it a tall enough unit if it doesn't. How does the sofa pull out into a bed? Are the lights on a switch, or do I have to reach up to turn them on? These are the things I can't find online.
I'm going to see it on Sunday, wish me luck!

Yep, I have one. Original owner.

I don't know what you mean by arched ceiling, but it's definitely a high ceiling in the Lounge and Kitchen area with a full height ceiling in the bedroom (I'm 6' tall and have no issues standing up in the bedroom).

The sofa is a "traditional" pullout sofabed with an Aerobed air mattress (at least that's how it came from the factory). I like the Aerobed because it has the 120v fill/drain control so it's easy to use and put away.

The overhead lights in all the rooms are run by a switch mounted to the walls. The reading lights in the entertainment center, above the rear recliners and sofa, above the bed, and the light above the kitchen table are all individually switched.

It was a good value for the money, but if at all possible you might want to step it up a bit for the 2013 (?) or newer models. They have the 6-point auto leveling and the color-matched mouldings around the slideouts (as opposed to the black rubber mouldings mine has).

Your signature doesn't say what kind of tow vehicle you have, but I hope it's capable. This model runs heavy (especially in the pin). It is definitely 350/3500 territory.

We don't have a tow vehicle, we are having it towed to our permanent campground lot.
I'm reading in the Forest River forums that they have a lot of problems, not many good posts for that year of 5th wheel.

Go over to www.cardinalrvclub.org and ask your question there. The Blue Ridge comes off the same line as the Cardinal and there are several members of the club with them. I am not sure about the model numbers but the one I have been in is very nice.
