Forest River Class A - Diesel reviews

We purchased a 2860DS and have had it for almost 3 years now. We love the outdoor kitchen and have loved the layout inside as well. We have traveled over 13,000 miles and have enjoyed every minute. We plan on more in the next two years. It’s easy being right at 30 ft. To park in a larger parking lot with no problems. Show less

This was one of the best purchases for our family. We are a family of 6 and using this RV for camping or extended road trips was as easy as it could get with the variety of seating arrangements and seatbelts in multiple locations throughout the coach. Also having full access to fridge, pantry, and bathroom makes the need for multiple stops along the way a thing of the past. Show less

I had an exceptional experience camping with this RV. It’s a beautifully designed, luxury unit that drives smoothly on the highway. With a convenient bath 1/2 featuring separate sinks for him and her, it offers the perfect blend of comfort and functionality. The plush king-size bed guarantees a great night's sleep, while the ample cabinet space and commercial-sized refrigerator provide plenty of room for all your essentials. It features a convection microwave, a stove with an oven, and a dining table that comfortably seats four. The couch converts to a jackknife sofa, and there’s a nice-sized pantry for even more storage. Plus, the pull-out bed above the captain’s seats adds versatility. You’ll love the TV with a fireplace for cozy evenings, and the two slide-outs make the interior incredibly spacious. This RV comfortably sleeps 6 to 8 people and the furniture was just redone last year, adding to its appeal. There’s even a TV with a radio outside for your entertainment needs. With several compartments for storage, this RV is designed for convenience and enjoyment. I absolutely love this unit and have had zero issues with it. I’m selling it only to upgrade to another model! Show less

electrical outlets could be dangerous. wires are push in and make contact only when insulation is pierced by pressing into metal tangs. no screws to tighten down on wires. can't believe they would do that. the fresh water inlet is lower than the tank inlet. hose must be held in place and a rag used to block the water from coming back out of the inlet. shower handles turn in opposite directions. that is completely anti-intutive. scalding is possible. cheap, cheap, cheap is the equipment and the engineering. tv antenna will not reach stations 50 miles or more away.

I bought this motorhome in May 2024. I have stayed at 33 campgrounds in 18 states. I have lived in it full time for 2 months now, and it has been very much a home for me. The bedroom is large enough to live in with plenty of storage. This thing has so much storage in the cabin and underneath I am not even remotely close to using it all. Show less

I purchased this 2025 new RV and I’ve had one issue after another with it. Every time I’ve taken it out, I’ve discovered something else that’s broken. The RV part- I’ve had 2 major leaks (one had to be sealed on the roof and of course it didn’t come with a ladder to fix it!). The shower not being properly installed, windows leaking and one window is the wrong window (it’s too big for the space so it bows and you can see light coming from the edges), the putty they used to seal the nail holes turning yellow as though it’s old, the modem in the Winegard having to be replaced, outside door locks being installed upside down or not locking, the generator struggling to turn on or randomly shuts off, the front door not closing properly (both screen and outside), and I had to replace the “stainless steel” sink because it was rusting! The truck- 2023 Mercedes diesel chassis (a 2 year old chassis?!). I’ve had issues with the key fobs - it won’t “push to start” without it being manually plugged in, the engine going into limp mode during drives and losing oil, the e-brake not letting up without toggling it many times, and overall squeaky sounds when driving forward and backward when parking.

Our first RV - purchased new in OH and drove back to AZ. A Forest River Sunseeker Mercedes Benz 2400T. It was planned for just my wife and I - we love the 2400 T layout. Two electronic theatre recliners, with tray tables - instead of a booth (we do not like booths). We have the fold down queen bed, a nice sofa and a pop in dining table. It all works for us. Probably the best feature is the bathroom - that sold my wife. It is the largest in its class, the full width of the RV, with plenty of room and privacy to get dressed in. Love the electric awning with the LED lights too. Show less

This is one of the best floor plans for how we RV. Literally everything is accessible while traveling. No need to put the slide out for an overnight stop. Amazing storage- this is due to no bed slide or outdoor kitchen (my preference).we can store our eBikes and tones of other gear in the rear storage. For a class C it has tons of storage bays. My 18 year old says that the bunk over cab is very comfortable for sleeping. We added a 1” eggshell style pad to help with seams. So much interior storage! My one negative here is the wasted space with the wire shelf pull out “pantry” total piece of junk. There is no perfect RV. You will always need modifications /personalizations. Other than that we are very happy with our purchase. Show less

The quality after 8 months is very disappointing. Leakages caused damaged interior parts, very poor finishes and quality of used materials is very disappointing. Airconditioning fan in living room stopped working, sunshade motor cover missing, windows can not be locked any more, sun screens inside poor quality. The driving behaviour is very unstable with the slightest side wind. Above 50 mph it can get really scary on the highway. The engine makes a lot of noise on higher speed and starts shifting down very quick when driving on a hill which causes very high rpm. Show less

Have had nothing but trouble with this $100,000 piece of crap. Have to use a stick to push feces down the ledge under the toilet. Marvelous! They told me to grease it up and use more water to flush. Great for dry camping, right? First time we pulled it onto a campsite we had no hot water. Couldn’t get any help from the dealership to correct until 3 weeks later. Now we’re here 2years later and we have no hot water again. It was fine before we left to get here . If someone built a house like this they would be sued Show less
