Forest River Arctic Wolfpage=2 reviews

I bought an arctic wolf remembering the day when arctic wolf was the best brand out there well Forest River owns article now and it's the worst trailer out there one month in sewer tank came apart six month in I figured out that a bunch of the accessories didn't work right but dealership I bought it from did their best to get everything fixed three years later the ceiling the slide is gone the roof is leaking and the plumbing is leaking and there's water damage on both end of the trailer I called Forest River cuz it the roof has 12-year warranty they said if you did not maintain the roof that 12-year warranty doesn't mean a thing the trailer is only 3 years old you think they'd stand behind their product I have Forest River one star and I really suggest that everyone stay as far away from Forest River Products Show less

This floor plan is great for families or if you want to have a separate office space to work remotely. This camper sleeps 9 easily and comfortably. The higher BTU units (2) keeps the camper nice and cold on those warmer days. The garage storage is huge. Also love the 2 refrigerators and ice maker in the outdoor kitchen. The fireplace in the living room can be set to look pretty, but also can be used as a heat source, wonderful on the chilly nights. The control panel's ability to work with the app on your phone is very handy, can check your tank levels, battery levels, control awnings and all the lights. We also enjoy the solar panel which charges the batteries. Highly recommend this camper! Show less

This has been a nightmare since day one. Everything is cheaply made, no storage inside the rv, the bunk house has no ac and yet the vent from the water heater goes directly into the bunk house making it unuseable as a bunk house. . The front a/c is not powerful enough to cool the rv in the summer months. Holes for the electrical wires and plumbing are so big that rats find it extremely easy to get into the rv and wreck havoc with the wiring,paper thin walls. The shower walls are not sealed at the bottom so water seeps down. Be sure you get an independent inspection of the rv prior to signing a contract. Dealership discourage this as if there is anything wrong they are responsible to fix it if you wait warranty might fix it but it is a long wait and you will be responsible for paying what warranty doesn’t cover.

The floor plan is excellent for families; that is the best I can say about it. If you plan on using the 5th wheel anytime the temperature outside is near or above 80 degrees, you do not want this trailer. It will not be cool, the further into the RV you go, the worse it gets. The AC is designed to deliver air 20 degrees below ambient, which means you have a trailer that will be warm when you factor in heat gain. The trailer is a 2 season trailer as long as you live in the northern tier of the United States or like it warm and do not have dogs. Factory support is nonexistent; too bad; the basic response is so sad. Steer clear and buy something else. The photo I would like to share is our unit in the Black Hills of SD. You'll notice it is in the shade; the ambient temperature was 80 degrees that day, best we could bet inside was 75. Show less

We previously owned a Grand Design Imagine and decided to upgrade for more space from a tow behind to a Fifth Wheel rig. We were pleased with Grand Design and looked at their fifth wheel models but they seemed a little pricey so we opted for a Forest River Arctic Wolf Cherokee. A bigger floor plan has been great but after a few months in the new rig we are realizing what poor quality has gone into the unit. Missed staples on the interior trim, cheap veneer quality, compartment doors that don’t close or seal properly, a missing button on the faux leather bunting, just seems like very poor materials were used on the unit. The models are supposed to get a thorough inspection before leaving the factory but whoever is signing off on these rigs the way they were allowed to leave is not doing a very good job. We’ve had the new rig for three months and keep finding issues constantly. Very disappointed at this point. Show less

This camper is the biggest pile I’ve ever owned. Extremely cheaply made. The outside isn’t too bad, but the interior is poor quality. Forest River should be ashamed for putting out such a poorly built product. Show less

while I was told this is a 4 season rv ,,forget it,,,it eats propane in the winter and both a/c struggle in the summer,,,propane lines leak,,,roof leaked 1st year,,outside weatherstripping fell apart and fell off,,,stitching on awning fell apart,,awning works when it decides it wants too,,bed fell apart,,,fresh water tank fills up on its own,,and there is not way this is a four season rv,,,oh and recliner seats fell apart in 2nd year,,and only used by 1 lightweight senior dude,,,and either nails or fasteners used under the flooring keep popping up ,,have to hammer them done on monthly time,,,Forest River left a very bad taste in quality on their products Show less

Forest River Inc. you are a huge disappointment and I will make sure everyone knows about your horrible business ethics and how you don’t give a damn about your customers. Selling faulty RV’s and not honoring the warranty on a brand new RV is honestly disgusting. Don’t ever buy ANYTHING from Forest River, they are crooks. They sold us a brand new camper with a faulty water control panel, and the living room floor and fireplace are now completely ruined. They are now refusing too honor the warranty on it. A brand new 70k fifth wheel and they refuse to repair THEIR faulty equipment that damaged our BRAND NEW CAMPER. #badbusinessethics #forestriver #crooks #lemonlaw #campers #camping #fifthwheel #unprofessional #badbusiness #faultyequipment #poorcustomerservice #poorworkmanship #waterdamage #travel #rvs #traveltrailer 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

Overall, this is a great RV. Like virtually every RV, it isn't perfect, right? Some issues with quality (detaching trim, loose cabinets, etc.), but nothing that detracts from our recreational use of the vehicle and nothing that I couldn't fix in a single day. We use this rig for recreation, which is what RVs are designed for: recreational and temporary living. Despite what some people will tell you, even some dealers, RVs - which are recreational vehicles - are not designed to be lived in full time. They're designed for recreation. Mobile homes are, for example, designed to be lived in full time. Period. So while the rig isn't perfect, it's pretty darn good for essentially a condo on wheels going through a Cat 4 hurricane each any every time we drive it. If you took your $500,000 home, put it on a trailer, and drove it 70MPH down a pot-hole riddled highway, I promise you'd have some trim popping off and cabinets leaning. So, with all that in mind, don't listen to a lot of these negative reviews. If you use this rig as intended and have realistic expectations, Forest River makes some great RVs. Show less
