2014 forest river

[dbucher]

We purchased a forest river last summer. I am not thrilled with all the things going wrong and the lack of support. Has anyone else had issues? Thanks for your feed back.

Took over three months to replace my nose cap on my Flagstaff Classic. Never again.

"purchased at keystone rv" There is your problem. Try OE in Falling Waters.

Our experience with Forest River (Coachmen Freedom Express 292BHDS) has been fantastic....or perhaps it could just be our dealer, but I'd be surprised if they had just volunteered to cover everything on their own

The trailer is a 2011 and we've had the following covered for no charge under warranty:

- seals for slide-out. minor leaking along bottom during travel in heavy rain

- both axles bowed. very weird. replaced with much heavier duty axles

- tongue jack. replaced with factory Atwood unit first time and second time, again for free, with a Husky 4500

- radio, twice, again second time with a better unit. wouldn't play DVD's, even store bought ones

- microwave. replaced with a better unit

- water pump. Artis unit replaced, prior to any failure or malfunction, with a ShureFlo

I think that's it. Wow, that's kind of a lot now that I've itemized it.

Forest River makes dozens of RV brand lines. Which one did you buy and what are your specific issues?

Just reading this forum alone you will see that there are lots of issues but you must allow that the complaints reported on the Internet are far outstripped by the lack of complaints. Also there are many many components in an RV that are not made by FR or its brand lines. These have individual failure rates and issues no matter what the brand is of the RV itself.

You really must be specific with your post in order to get meaningful responses. 🙂

We're on our second FR product, a ROO hybrid and now a Rockwood Ultra Lite. Have only had a couple of minor issues and we contacted the dealer....fixed lickety split. FR is usually responsive, so agree that it may be the dealer. What kind of problems are you having?? It should still be under warranty as a 2014. Sorry you're having issues....seems like every so often one slips through the cracks, but your dealer should be going to bat for you. More info??

So what went wrong and how did your dealer handle it?

Forest River is usually pretty good about warranty issues. It could be your dealer. Did the dealer offer you FR's 2nd year warranty for $150? Contact FR direct and you will see some results.
I sent you a PM.

I'm sorry you are having issues. Is the lack of support coming from the manufacturer or your dealer? We bought our TT last July and have some issues. We are local to each other so I wonder if it's the same dealer?
