Forest river heritage glen 272RL

Hi everyone, almost ready to pull the trigger on a new heritage glen 272RL. Anyone have any experience good or bad with this trailer? Looking for your thoughts. Thanks everyone, looking forward to learning a lot from this forum.

Thanks,
Eric
P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong area to post this in
  • I wouldn't own a Forest River product... a friend bought a brand new one and it is falling apart and the dealer won't fix it either... read reviews on them... they suck bad.... I bought Open Range.... great quality and great service....
  • We have a Salem Hemisphere which is basically the same as a Heritage Glen. We are very satisfied with the quality of the unit and have had no problems in two years except for a temperamental awning motor.

    You may want to post your question over on the Forest River Owners Group forum. http://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/
  • Thank you very much. This is my first camper purchase. So a little nervous...
  • Coincidently, we were just in our brand new Forest River Heritage Glen
    36BHBS which is still at the dealers today taking measurements and looking at the quality.
    We right now are in a 2007 Pioneer 25 footer which we bought new and never had any problems
    Most if not all of the appliances are pretty much standard in almost ever make trailer, except this new one has a full size house refrigerator
    I was comparing the construction of supporting frames for the various dinette benches and cabinets with our Pioneer, and the wood in the Forest River was much thicker and better put together.
    The drawer slides are much better.
    I have built two houses from the ground up and realize that the trailer manufacturers have to make things as light as possible therefore cannot make them like a stick built house, but I was quite impressed when I compared it with my Pioneer, and some other brands.

    Naturally only time will tell.
    But it appears to me I made the right decision, and hopefully you did too.

  • Just purchased our fourth Forest River product, a Heritage Glen 282rk. Had excellent experience with the first three and expect the same with this one. All RVs have some issues, the secret is finding an excellent dealer that works to maintain a good reputation.
