RV nightmare: Every camping trip was a DISASTER!

Thank you, Liz! ❤ That is a lot of money with way too many problems to warrant the money spent! They could have bought a gentally used RV and many been better off.

Flintstone wagon.

I lucked out, I bought a 2003 Winnebago Journey 36LD about 10 years ago. Never had a single problem with it! I'd love to upgrade, but unfortunately the entire RV industry seems to have given up on quality. Which is a shame because America is the best country on Earth to explore in a camper.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

Money back is the answer. They have been sold a second hand RV or damaged with the natural disaster, not brand new as promised. UNBELIEVABLE FOREST RIVER!!! What a ripe off!!!

Is there a “lemon law” to get a different vehicle or their money back?

Get these folks there money back. Forest river is turning out to be a disreputable business.

I'm hearing more and more stories regarding Forest River. The quality, fit and finish just isn't like it used to be.
Looks like they are going for profit over quality, which is really sad.
Had a Forest River hard side pop up and it was a great pop up camper, no issues. My uncle bought a Solera and at first I fell in love. Considered trading in two camper and a boat for one, but after a full season of camping it was roof issues, water pump, battery burned out twice, crooked door, rusting hinges, bad fridge, etc and some replaced under warranty, some given the run around (roof issues)...I'm just not interested in their products anymore.

It's a LEMON. They need compensation.

Why would anyone pay 131k for that small piece of cheap junk?

This really makes me nervous about my 2021 Forrest River travel trailer. So far we’ve not had issues and drove it 8000 miles across the country last fall and had no issues. I’m hoping this camping season goes just as well. We purchased this used last summer. I would not purchase Forrest River again after watching these 2 videos.

Why would anyone buy an RV?

It always amazes me how stupid people are.

Avoid Forest River like the plague!!!

What a nightmare ... Really they should diffently give your money back .. Go through the
BBB ... That's what I do !!

Been looking at a forest river rig. I’m out!

We need to get RVs covered under vehicle lemon laws!

I subscribed, glad we going after them. Prices so high and they cat back up their sales. Such a shame. Thanks for what you do:)

GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY BACK

Feel your pain! My new 2025 700K RV is 'still' in shop after 5 months. Have only taken it out for one day. Hopefully, all my issues will be addressed in another week or so.

Time for some congressional hearings and some answers from industry CEOs! I’d tune into that!

Liz - keep doing what you are doing. Keep making these videos. Excellent work!

I can't stand this commercial.

I’m getting a RV this year, good to know that forest river is the first one to avoid.

Great work helping people, but why take a vehicle that has visible problems before even buying it. My experience looking into the industry and wreckage I have seen on the side of the road is that many if not most rvs are little more than sheds on wheels. Thanks again

Wow this is crazy. What a horrible experience. Forrest River is a hell no

Owner disclosures should be standard practice for selling RVs as should certified inspectors/inspections just as it is in real estate but that industry has real estate agents and buyers. It sounds like you need to hire buying agents / inspectors if you're going to make such an expensive purchase. Rather than spend hours upon hours like this couple did trying to resolve it, it may have been more economical to hire an attorney to deal with both companies and threaten to sue and sue if that doesn't work.

If it had this many issues on the lot, why did they accept it? They weren’t required to buy it.

Boomer sucker.. What every dealership loves.

I have a buddy that told me RV’s are made of balsa wood and rice paper. I bought a two year old Airstream and am very pleased after a year of ownership.

Forest River should have their license removed to do business until they fix these problems.

I built my own. 5 years old and nothing has broken. Well, maybe some coffee mugs😀

Got the message I WILL NEVER buy a FOREST RIVER RV , Bad quality low standards .

If you can afford a a $131,000.00 RV you should be able to afford an attorney. That’s the way you should go and should have earlier!

You can get a lot of comfortable hotel rooms for 130k

I'm so sorry this poor couple was victimized by yet another business with absolutely no integrity. May their road lead them to the happiness they're owed.

Camping with Barb Anderson.

What can we do? Write Forest River? I will if it works. I won’t touch this company with attitudes like this. They need to fix people’s rv’s. Or don’t sell them. Part of being a descent company. Fix it!!!

Just retired last year and almost made the mistake of buying an RV because we thought we could travel wherever we wanted to go whenever we wanted and all our "stuff" would be with us. We came within a whisker of buying one, but upon researching we found out the huge numbers of horror stories and just how difficult it was to reserve campsites ahead of time. We finally decided it would be a big mistake and said forget it. We're going on a big vacation this year, flying, renting an SUV and staying in hotels (can cancel all those reservations up to the day of if something comes up). The money we would have spent on an RV can fund these vacations for many, many years.

That sick, I got 5bd home and 50ish acres of land for less than that nightmare, I can't believe what people will pay for this junk. I've scrapped out 2 class A units (with videos on my channel to prove it) and they were built like a joke, both fleetwood units. I'll never have another, I bought a school bus and outfitted it to suit my fams needs and it's worked out great the last 7 years, 5 of which were full time while saving money to buy a home. Dunno why people wouldn't take that kinda money and buy property that usually increases in value rather thana RV that plummets like a tesla in value if not worse.
In an RV park I had a neighbor with a $450k unit, he told me it leaked from day 1 everytime they put the slides in amongst other things, so if that guy couldn't get a nice RV at near half a million then the outlook is real back when they aren't even half that cost. People really need to just stop buying these things and show the RV industry the way out of business.
I hate bashing, but $130k for something that small, I just can't understand the way people think they really just don't know how to value anything, it's no wonder people wind up ripped off, they pay that much money and take delivery of a shotty rv just because they really wanna do the RVing thing rather than blow off the deal and keep looking, people need to stop rushing to hit the road...

Really disappointed in Forest River. They used to make a quality product. Thanks for exposing this BS Liz! Hope this nice couple gets some resolution.

Seems like RV manufacturers are just throwing units together as fast as they can using the cheapest parts and materials they can find. With so many stories like this one, I don’t know why anyone would buy one of these overpriced pieces of junk!

Why didn't you just rent? There are thousands of elements to an RV. 1000 things can go wrong.

I live at citys outskirts where i see an couple "living mobiles". Know an couple ppl, they sayd an pre corona 40k 💶 is now near 60k 💶 😮, most are ok with their mobiles, some small annoying flaws here and there

What up horrendously sad story. I feel for this couple. That unit and no doubt that entire manufacturer put out nothing short of a piece of junk. No care or pride was put into that build whatsoever and workers had to have known all along the line that it was garbage.

I wont buy from them

NEVER buy an ex rental van, they’re bloody money pits. Thrashed by everyone.

Hey Forest River congrats. Your company has not only gone viral in America, but thanks to the big wide world Web your name is now global. Well done goof balls. Your shoddy work and disgusting customer service has made you famous for all the wrong reasons.

Wow, this video just sold me on a Grech
