It actually a 286 RL-OK but it’s not on the list. From a company that says that they stand behind their quality We had really high hopes for this camper. This was my first one and it had really put a sour taste in my mouth. I don’t even want to list the number of things wrong with it because there are so many, but the big ones were a structural screw coming out from the floor breaking the vinyl floor and the outdoor kitchen door being able to open when locked. Who ever does quality control here, clearly there isn’t any. To the added fact that is was in the shop for over 6 months getting it fixed, and since forest river does not extend the warranty during the time the camper is down, it is no longer under warranty. It was in the shop longer than we used it on its first year, go figure. This industry really needs a rude awaking that customers will not settle for crap. If they were only held to the same standards as the automotive dealer industry. Then I’d see why these things are so expensive, but they arnt worth the wood that they are screwed/hacked together with. Having only a 1 year warranty just shows me they don’t even trust their build quality. I’ll most likely be going to a jayco after this camper. I don’t even know how forest river is still afloat because it sounds like all their products are junk. Stay away from east to west, and further more anything by forest river, do your research and look over new campers with a fine tooth comb. Forest river is very guilty of bad quality for a while now with their new campers, but I know they are not the only company that is.
