Forest River Work and Play

Everything looks cheap next to a Momentum!

Glorified cargo trailer with cheap interior.

We had a '15 WnP 30WLA. It was a good started trailer, but very, very cheap construction and materials. They're in a very different price category than our new Momentum and the quality shows.

2016 W&P, 25WB. Trailer has been good to us so far. We’ve towed it about 7500 miles since new Feb 2016. Has 6K Dexter axles and came with 15” D tires. After the first blowout, E tires were installed and all has been good. W&P’s have an aluminum roof with support every 16”. It will hold a little water if not set up properly. Properly means whichever way lets the water drain off. These things are heavy having a separate 2x3 tubing wall supporting frame. With our gear w/o toy, it weighs just under 10K lbs.

I had a 2006 28BR and a 2011 30WR. These are heavy solid built trailers. They had the highest ramp weight rating at the time of 5000lbs. They don't use the spray on underbelly insulation anymore. I checked out a new 30WRS a while ago and it looks like they went with the sealed underbelly that most trailers use today.

They have a very flat metal roof where water can tend to collect. If I was was camping in the rain I would set the rig off a 1/4 bubble so water would run off.

We sold the 28BR because my wife just hated the sideways queen bed up against the wall. We sold the 30WR after 6 years to downsize (which turned out to be a mistake) Reason was at the time the 30WR was about 36' total length and we towed at about 12800lbs with 1400lbs of tongue weight. We thought going smaller we could get into more parks. I did not like the smaller trailer and I did not like the HD in the back of the truck. Sold the little trailer and went for another Toy Hauler.

I would have went with another Work and Play but the prices of sky rocketed So could not go there.

I know the styling has changed since my 2011 but I am pretty sure they still use FRP one piece siding. What does that mean well about 1" plywood is what the walls are made out of. I never had any trouble but my rigs were stored out of the weather. I read about guys who may have had a water leak, rot out the side around a window and it could be a real problem to fix.

I would do it again....

The Spray foam "insulation" around the water tanks was a big turn-off to me.
