Forest River Alpha Wolfpage=2page=2page=2page=2page=2 reviews

Both slide out installed improperly from factory cost to repair out of pocket $8400 Leaky window improperly installed also with screws either missing or actually pushing the frame outward cost $2460 because of water damage on the inside…. The insulation in walls is also insufficient in part of the wall…. The 1 year warranty is a joke…. Since the vast majority of people will not use their trailer in cold weather. It only gives you 5 months at best. Show less

What piece of garbage. Yes, there are thing I like compared to the one I traded in, but discovered this one is cheaply made. The entry wall is not even straight. Oh well. Guess I got the lemon. But, I don't recommend...there are others out there built better with better warranty service. Show less

Drove our Alpha wolf thru all 48 states in 2 years and with minimal repairs. Had problem with the electrical fuse box (screws not tight enough) creating a slew of problems. A blown tire is Chicago area…. Really bad freeways. And cables for slides misaligned which is getting fix by insurance. Overall my wife and I absolutely love the trailer. I have 1050 watt of solar a Expion lithium battery rated 360 amp ( could use a second one for truly boon docking)we boon docked 45% of our travel. And a Xantrex inverter sw 3012. I towed it with a Ram Laramie 2500 Hemi …. Sorry no diesel for me for many many reasons. Show less

There is not much good aboit this RV. On our way home the side molding started to rip on brand new trailer. After fighting with forest river finally got that repaired. A little over a year while driving home from camping the belly cover came off all the inside dropped dragging on the ground. Sine then ever single glass cabinet insert came off. A cabinet hinge just came off. After about two years the rubber molding around the dlides came off The interior fake wood moling all is coming away from the wall. I should have done more research. Stay far away from forest river. Show less

I have owned this motorhome since I bought it new in 2019. I have driven it from Seattle to Disney World, and to the national parks of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana and many places in between. I have 37k miles on it and have lived in it since shortly after I bought it. As far as manufacturing and assembly, all the important pieces work well except for the refrigerator. When it was a few months old, we had a torrential rainstorm in Salt Lake City and the refrigerator outside panel was not installed properly. As a result water poured into the refrigerator workings and it was damaged. After warranty repair, it works acceptably but ice cream will get a little soft in very hot weather. Other than that, a few small trim pieces in the coach were not installed correctly. I have had no other issues with the generator, the furnace, the two wonderful air conditioners, and the three TV's which are Furion. They have excellent pictures and one is very large. I tow a Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk behind it and it does fine. I have had no suspension work on it and I find it very controllable. The only time I get white knuckles is when I am going over a narrow bridge with opposing traffic. The motorhome is wider than some of the lanes on county roads and it is tight on some state highways. I read about people who have all kinds of trouble but I think it is just like buying anything, some people are not lucky, and some people are. I replaced the king mattress that came with it with a memory cell mattress, and I sleep very well in it. I have two big dogs, and they have plenty of room to stretch out. I love my FR3 and it works great as a home I can go almost anywhere in. I would highly recommend it for its relatively low price and its reliability, as well as its comfort. Show less

My wife and I purchased the trailer to live in full time while our new home was being built. We spent 6 months full time living trailer has a rear kitchen which we really like living area in the middle and bathroom and bedroom are up front, unit has plenty of room there is a 50" tv above the fireplace and a 32" in the bedroom. Also the outdoor kitchen and grill hook up is wonderful for entertaining . Only selling do to health conditions and if I had to purchase another unit I would buy the same. Show less

We really love this travel trailer. It has plenty of storage and sleeping area for the entire family. The oversized sinks and cold weather package is awesome. It's one of the few campers that still had the propane/electric option for the fridge. It tows great behind our GMC 1500. Show less

Purchased this unit in 2020 as a 2021 model. First issue when we picked up the unit the camper was a dirty mess. Screws missing putty on staples looked like someone put it on with a magic marker. The fireplace that we ordered was not there. Dealer did rectify that. Floor was covered in greases and glue. The entry door didn't fit in the jam because the jam wasn't installed properly. They had to loosen the mounting and hammer it straight before we could close the door to tow it. The first trip we discovered the shower pan has no support under it very poor-quality control. The usb ports all blew out because of faulty wiring. Forget about that twelve volt refrigerator your better off with a cooler and ice. We know we weren't buying a Rolls Royce but we also weren't expecting a Ugo. I have some of the best towing equipment you can buy 'this is the worst trailer I have ever pulled. My advice don't just walk away run away very fast don't look back. Don't be like us spend a few bucks more and buy something with a lot more quality. Show less

Purchased a 2021 In late 2020. Trailer towes much smother than the Jayco hybrid we previously had. I can concur that build quality is not as sharp as I would I like, but this as a camper made on the cheapest PO's won buy product suppliers. I believe they did a great job producing a well built camper, with the weight it has. Just beware that trim lines are not completely smooth, the roof edge line is off on laminate tongue and groove joints, and there are zero power plugs on the slide. Now, my service side of the camper. I have had the following already go bad in less than a year. Water heater exhausted fumes in the camper. Stated the exhaust seal was not correct. This is a bid deal but addressed. Some bolts that hold the cable drive plates on the slide sheared off. Not sure how they fixed, but done. Small area of the slide didn't have silicone allowing a small water mark under the slides underbelly. And the biggest, when rolling up the awning after a great weekend, the drive motor drive shift snapped in half, allowing the one side to drop on a table and swing bending the main roller and one side arm. I had a friend who owns a Machine shop make the drive pin out of a better metal and back in working order. They did not cover the roller under warranty as they said it still worked. Show less

I purchased my camper from a dealer lightly used. I was told it was an all season camper, it is completely not. The sliding bathroom door keeps falling off and breaking things, and after I tow the camper there is always a ton of what looks to be sawdust to be vacuumed up. I did a lot of research before I purchased and the Forrest River brand seemed like a solid purchase however they have an issue with build quality which I did not find out until after purchasing. If I had to purchase again I would not purchase a Forrest River camper. Show less
