WARNING!! DO NOT purchase a Forest River Toy Hauler!
The Ramp Doors they use allows water to enter at the top, and then run down the side of the ramp door undetected to the bottom of the ramp door, where it runs beneath the ramp door sill and under the vinyl floor covering (again, undetected). The Insulation used beneath the floor, rather than waterproof foamboard, is like the fiberglass used in older homes that acts as a “sponge” to soak up and hold the water and moisture under the flooring for years, causing MAJOR damage and wood rot beneath the vinyl floor covering.
I purchased a NEW Toy Hauler Travel Trailer, and after just 6 years, the undetected water leaking around the Ramp Door and through the uncaulked gap between the vinyl floor covering and the ramp door bottom sill, caused all 2" X 2" Floor Joists, Insulation, Wall Studs, and Flooring Plywood beneath the vinyl floor covering to rot from the water damage. Although much of the plywood atop the 2” X 2” Floor Joists was still strong and firm (further allowing the issue to be undetected), the wood damage beneath the plywood reached nearly 15 feet into the 30’ trailer from the ramp door.
Forest River limits their warranty to just 1 year, with NO EXCEPTIONS. Their position on undetected flaws and issues that are not discovered within their 12 month warranty period is “Too Bad, so sad” and “that sucks for you”! They take NO responsibility for their defects, including those that are hidden or undetected for years.
Save yourself the headache, and heartache, that a Forest River Toy Hauler will give you. Unlike Forest River, there are better quality manufacturers out there that will take responsibility for an unknown “flaw” discovered in their product.
