Spacious and well designed and laid out travel trailer, including a full size bathroom which is a rare yet greatly appreciated. The cabinet finish, kitchen sink, stove backsplash adds a modern touch. The amount is storage space allows you to organize anything you'd like to bring along for a trip before hitting the road and without having to unpack and reorganize once you've reached your destination. Makes for a fuss-free, enjoyable getaway. Lots of storage kitchen utensils, dishware, pots , pans, small appliances, bakeware, bath towels, toiletries, full kitchen pantry, "his and hers" closets, plus large under bed storage space and overhead cabinets. Small door next to bed can be utilized as a laundry shoot that's accessible from a separate exterior door. Interior and exterior speakers offer great sound with option to watch TV outside as well. Great trailer!!! Show less

Purchased used, moved in on existing lot. As with many manufacturers there is some confusion on exact model, Floorplan. Manufacturer placard states model SMT200RK but finding info online is scarce. Overall very pleased with quality, seems well enough insulated to keep heated and cooled even in sweltering heat southeast Texas is known for. Show less

This RV has been great and while the floor plan isn’t perfect it is a good layout. The only reason we moved on from ours is that our family is outgrowing it. The camper is light and very easy to pull. I noticed a big difference when we got the new longer one. I love our new one but miss the towablility of this model. Rockwood makes a high quality camper and you can tell it. This model has gear driven slides as opposed to cable which is very nice and reliable. Overall a great little camper. Show less

Awesome camper that I lived out of for three years in Montana. I will miss it. The experience was like no other. My wife, my dog, and myself all made it together almost two years and allowed us to explore Montana while living cheaply and simple. Show less

Upgrading Axle after 4 years. Tires are severely worn on the inside. The torsion axle is rated to 3500#. The RV gross weight is 3920#. Spoke to customer service through email and they said that Forest River says to never travel with water in your reservoir. They did not design the trailer to have 250# of water moving around while driving. What a joke, the convivence of an RV is to bring potable water with you to the forest. I live in Colorado and the last thing I want to do is camp at a KOA...... Show less

We started out with the Georgetown because it is roomy and we were going to be full time rv’ers. We headed out west and saw so many wonderful things my husband did all the driving plus we towed our Jeep with the Blue ox. We left I in May of 2021 and went as far as Montana when my husband took ill around July, drove back to Charlotte to our doctor they found a baseball size tumor on left side of his Brain so driving is now out and we need to sell.

We purchased our 2019 Sandpiper 379FLOK in August of 2018. At first we loved the floor plan and the hydraulic leveling system. When the dealer tried to show how the hydraulic system worked, it overloaded and threw the breaker. When we picked it up in August of 2018 we only had a few items that needed attended. The doors on the bathroom and pantry were already peeling the edges and the slide room floors on the outside showed scrapes where the rollers were bringing them in and out, these were noted on the sales papers and we gave the dealer 1 week to repair. Nothing had been done when we took possession of the unit. We packed it up and started out for Texas from Bartow Florida. That evening, first travel day, the landing legs would not extend and we could not get it off the tow vehicle. That caused a 5 day stay in Tallahassee, FL while their trained staff of mechanics tried to figure it out. We arrived in Texas 9 days after starting out. Setting up we noticed the bedroom slide wouldn't come out all the way to seal the room. 10 days later, the heater stopped working and the closest Camping World was over 70 miles away. Called them for mobile repairs, they didn't offer any. Next month the awning went out, coming back in it bent the awning arms because the fabric rolled up crooked on the tube. Then the recliners (2) stopped working, no heat or massage. Then the converter failed, no 12 volt system, no lights or computer to operate the rest of the RV. The toilet water supply valve sprang a leak, the bathroom fan stopped working cause the blade cracked and fell off the spindle. Then the black tank fell out of the frame, causing a bulge in the belly covering. When it leaked out the sides, thats when we knew something was wrong. After getting a couple of people to help remount the black tank inside the frame, we called warranty again, no mobile service available. Then the Fireplace stopped putting out heat, the microwave inside just stopped working. Tried different electrical recepticals, no luck. The thermostat stopped working, no a/c or heat. The outside kitchen faucet would not turn off, causing immediate replacement by us. The front landing legs started leaking down the legs, the bedroom slide cylinder was leaking on the ground. We were adding 3 quarts of fluid to the system every month, it was going somewhere. Now the hot water heater has a weld crack at the combustion chamber and extended warranty wants us to wait till they can send out an inspector in 4-5 days. This was our 4th purchase of 5th wheel RV, most disappointed with Forest River for lack of quality control. Show less

We've enjoyed this RV. It has served us well. We've found that we don't use it as we had anticipated. It is time to move on to different adventures. The RV is comfortable and a perfect size for my wife and I. It is very manueverable with no problem in parking lots, city streets or highways. Show less

We bought this from the factory. We have had problems from the beginning. The bathroom door was messed up. Still is. Dealership did a shoddy job fixing it. They did not hook up the tv antennae at the factory. We have since found out they hooked nothing up to the tv and the dealership only hooked up the antennae. So the cable and satellite hookups don’t work either. It leaks in the rain when it’s closed. Haven’t figured that one out yet. The rubber seal over one slide out has jiggled itself loose. That’s taped in place to keep it there. The shower drain broke after like 4 uses. Things are screwed into the walls crooked. The cover on the water heater is cheap, cheap. Overall I will not buy another forest river product. It’s cheap. Kitchen has very few cupboards. I do like the floor plan. That’s it. Otherwise I wish I’d bought something else. Show less
