Forest River Hemispherepage=2page=2 Toy Haulers 5th Wheel reviews

I'm finding little things that tell me that I bought a $45,000 turd. The owner before me bought it new and lived in it—very little towing. I've only towed in once; the main issue concerning me is a water leak the previous owner covered up. I would have had to disassemble the RV to find it! After tearing into the RV to find the leak, I discovered that Rockwood uses flexible nylon piping and tries to connect it to PEX, even though this is against building codes, and there is no way to connect the two. They force it! This creates a bad connection that will most certainly fail at some point, especially if you tow it. So, now I'm trying to decide whether to pass this problem on to another unsuspecting fool (like me) or try to re-pipe my entire fifth wheel. The thing is, I'm not really a fool. I went over this thing with a fine-tooth comb, but I obviously couldn't tear it apart when I was inspecting it! Steer clear of Rockwood! They cut corners that you will pay for. Show less

This RV provides a spacious floor plan at a very reasonable price. The rear living room layout and dinnette table with chairs provides a home away from home feeling. The midbunk room is a great option for kids or a home office. Tons of storage through out the coach including under belly. The modern decor and residential fridge adds a stylish appearance sure to impress friends and family. Cant say enough great things about this floor plan. The only thing I would change is having large propane tanks which is an easy upgrade! Show less

It was built during the pandemic, so everything that could go wrong did. 3 of the 5 slides were bad, the refrigerator doors wouldn't open all the way, the custom Morryde independent suspension was installed incorrectly and almost caused a catastrophic failure, (I'm still dealing with the problem now 2.5 years later) awnings installed wrong, shower walls delaminated, tank sensors replaced and still don't work, etc. The manuals and other would be helpful paperwork was virtually worthless. I asked for a schematic of the plumbing and the manufacturer stated they don't have one. The electrical system Is designed to work as the coach is delivered so if you want to install a good solar unit it's very difficult. Riverstone doesn't offer a good solar unit. As an example of the warranty service... When I discovered that the refrigerator doors would not open all the way because the cabinet was blocking them the response from the dealer was, "WELL THAT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY" Now for the good news. Recently I ran into a couple that had a 2024 Riverstone Legacy and they stated that they had the coach for about 4 months and NOTHING was wrong. They have been living in it and found everything worked as it should. Therefore, I put my nightmare experience down to Covid. Show less

Love the floor plan. Couples coach. Great outdoor kitchen. Quality is good. Floor plan is very unique and price point is affordable. Things I would like to see improved. Plumbing- lot of tubing with pex clamps Shower- would like to see full fiberglass unit. Forest River in the newer models have made improvements and made great upgrades. • Opened up rear underbelly of coach for additional storage that was hidden in 2021/2022 models. • Open stairs Overall we are happy with the 36fl and would buy another 36FL without hesitation.

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 is our second CK Fifth wheel. Only had our 2020 for a year before we ordered a bigger version. First with what we like. 1. Floorplan spacious, lots of storage, roomy everywhere it counts. 2. Options. We were able to get carpet in the living room, and bedroom. Everyone brags about no carpet. But our dogs can actually stand up, and jump up and down from the bed etc. We had to put carpet samples in the last one. The dogs just slip on the plastic floors. 3. Our dealer in who they no longer allow to be one because he wouldnt stock many units when the RV market crashed. They dont want smart dealers apparently. Even if customers love them. Now for the problems. 1. The underbelly. Sections of the underbelly have fallen off twice on the road. Dragging wires and insulation on the hwy. We are talking 10 - 12 feet gone! Last time I had to buy a plastic tarp, cut it to size and Duck tape the thing for hours, after stuffing the stuff back in. Terrible design underneath. The dealer tried brackets secured the first time. A strong crosswind ripped it all out. 2. Westlake tires- AKA China bombs Replace them Nuff said. Blowout at 10,000 miles Blew a chunk out of the side of the rig. 3. Auto level works 2/3 of the time. Slide doesnt come in when unlevel. Have to manually level it. 4.Screws come loose from all over. But I blame some States roads. Colorado? Would we buy another one? Yes But we would duck tape the entire underbelly. Replace the tires. Tighten every screw down and bring extra. 3. Show less

This is the best RV out here for full timers. Quality is great and no issues. We work remotely in this and have had a great time. This 2022 Riverstone Legacy “Luxury Package” 42FSKG is a 44'10” Fifth-Wheel Toy Hauler up for sale. This has been the home to my wife and I for 2 years and are now executing our exit plan by moving into a sticks and bricks in Massachusetts. This RV is ready now. I have kept very good care of this RV and have used “RVLife Pro – Maintenance” to document my maintenance. I can provide printout if desired. This RV was purchased at Bills Happy Camper, which if you have a Riverstone you know who they are and their great reputation. We have traveled 13000 miles while working remotely since June 0f 2022.
