2021 Forest River Work & Play 21LT

Our Work & Play toy hauler obviously works really well for taking our Polaris XP-1000 RZR side-by-side out to the desert or mountains for riding, especially since it has a 30-gallon fuel station built into it. I was always uncomfortable with carrying gas cans inside our previous older to hauler. That being said, the toy hauler does have 2 built-in vents; one that draws in outside air toward the front and one toward the rear that expels the air.
The little secret about toy haulers is that they work great for "regular" camping since they are very roomy. We've used it many times for camping trips, and we took it to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons last year and it was great! Unlike many toy haulers that have a bed in one corner of the main area, this one has a separate bedroom on a slide-out adjacent to a large bathroom with a large shower. Being a toy hauler it also has a 98-gallon fresh water tank!
We put the patio kit on ours, which makes the ramp into an outdoor patio area, separated by a wide screen to keep bugs out. This is great for BBQ'ing so we didn't have to go up and down the steps each time we needed something from the kitchen.
One minor downside to this toy hauler is that it is 8.5 feet wide, so visibility in hindered a bit along the sides of the trailer. However, I equipped ours with a wireless camera and screen which I clip onto the mirror in our truck so it's natural to look at it for a good view of the road behind.
The 21LT only weighs 5928 lbs empty (UVW), so it is easily towed by a half ton truck that is geared appropriately. Gas mileage suffers though as the trailer is both wide and tall.
Finally, we used a Blue Ox Sway Pro weight distribution hitch which does an amazing job controlling sway, and is also very quiet compared to the friction type hitches.
Note that I rated the factory warranty / support as 3-stars based on experience with a previous new Forest River trailer we had bought. We bought this toy hauler used and did not have to used Forest River for any repairs.

2023 Forest River Wolf Pack 24Gold14. I love this RV for its size and floor plan, but it tows absolutely horrible! I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 that has 9100 lbs towing capacity. This RV weighs 6500 lbs but it tosses my truck all over the road. Towing this is the definition of white knuckling. I had a friend tow it with his 3/4 ton and it was a little better, but it tossed that truck around as well. I believe the trailer has an inherently bad design with excessive tongue weight , extra tall and extra wide. If anyone else has experience towing this trailer, I would love to hear about it. I am planning to trade this in on a Jayco Hay Flight 265 TH, which is 1500 lbs. lighter and 300 lbs. less tongue weight. It is the same length, but is 2 ft. Shorter in height, and 6 inches narrower in width.

This RV was an awesome camper. It's a full-length bumper pull toy hauler. The best thing about this unit is the floor plan. It literally has 2 separate bedrooms each with a queen size bed, and each room with a real door to separate the spaces. This is perfect for camping with kids and guests. The second bedroom converts to the garage and it also can be arranged as 2 couches, a table and benches or 2 twin beds. Each bedroom has direct on-suite access to the bathroom. This unit also has a slide in the main living area created a spacious feel. Many bumper pull toy haulers do not have a slide. The outdoor shower is convenient for rinses off or washing feet before entering have having fun and getting dirty. This camper over all was excellent and I would highly recommend it.

I have tryed multiple times to reach out to Camping World in Wentzville Mo and they keep telling me they will call back, But no one does. They contacted my credit union about a trailer I wanted and My credit union told me thay would approve a certain amount . Then I told them I was interested and I needed to know What the total amount was going to be. I was told $36,489.00 .They were supose to get back and no one did even after I made several attemps to reach out to them. I talked with Robert and Jason James and others there, Im very disapointed sofar, when people tell me multiple times they will call back and dont, Make me wonder If they can be trus The next day I went down to Camping World and I understand why they did not contact me it's because they were swamped by customers. I ended up purchasing the camper through them I'm waiting for them to do small repairs on the trailer . Ok I really got screwed. the repair work I was concerned about on the corners of the slide out and other corners were not resealed and they reashured me it would not leak at all and they fully checked it out and every thing was fine. They refused to let me check the roof do to liability reasons. the damage on the slide out on the inside was hidden by new recliners so you could not see the damage. Here is the real kicker, they told me that the trailer was going to cost me 38,995.00 and my payments were only going to be $455.29 a month and did not tell me there was going to be a $42,957.20 Finance Charge. for the lone. total of $81,952.20 for a 2019 wolf pack 25pack12 travel trailer. If I would have known I would have left without it.I strongly beleave I got Really screwed over. People they do not have the customers best intrest in mind. they are willing to hide the damage and be dishonest just to make a sale, Jason James Rv Sales Associate helped

Bought new. Was setting on the dealer lot for two months. We have had nothing but issue after issue from the decals coming off to tear in the floor to the refrigerator panel falling off in transport to the ac not cooling and even wiring. Yes went back to the factory but came back as bad as it was before. Never again will we buy a Forrest River product. Their warranty sucks and you are without the rv for a prolonged period of time while they still don't fix it right.

Trailer floor plan is ok and pulls well. However, soft roof has leaked since it was 2 years old. Glue on roof came lose & roof started tearing. Factory would not cover under warranty because they blamed in on roof material & glue. Roof maker would not cover it and neither would dealer. Dealer reglued roof but $1800 & 2 yrs later roof ripped in same place & started leaking again. Very disappointed in manufacturer!! Was totally ripped off. Buyers beware.

Purchased new 2022 Shockwave toy hauler Jan 2023 at CW Mesa, AZ. Dealer prep horrible. Fit and finish horrible. Quality control horrible. Hauled to campsite instead of going home to CO for Winter. First night and every one there after heater failed during night. Been 5 1/2 months and no one can fix. Numerous attempts by CW. Then picked up by Forest River and taken to CA factory for repair. Should do it right? No way Sent with list of about 20 other items also, some fixed, some half done and few they said no to.??? Heater was not fixed, they lost my keys and returned without the tables. After many e-mails and days I was told to find a dealer to take it to. They said they would ship me tables. Only reason they don't get negative 100 stars. So will have to update when and if I ever get a working heater. Other items that were defective: fridge wouldn't run on elec, showers, floor structural, carpet, windows. doors, underbelly, various trim. This thing is a bad 70K paper weight. I have stated my preference to return for a full refund. But once they have your $. So don't make my mistake don't give them the $ find a different brand. I already found mine, do the research. I can't even sell this thing until I find a tech that can fix it. A reputable co would take it back and deal with it and let me move on.

We had purchased our 29qbx with the intention of going on a 6 month vacation. But after on having towed it 1200 miles every thing fell apart. And I mean everything the walls we collapsing the roof leaked the slides leaked there was mold growing under our mattress. The craftsmanship of these units is unacceptable and really sad. They should not be allowed to operate this way. Our trailer is currently at the manufacturer waiting to be “fixed” and I have lost all hope we only owned it for 4 months and have no idea when any thing will be done. The warranty team at xlr is about as good as the quality of their product after being pushed around for a month with little to no contact I asked to speak with a manager and have been stonewalled every time. Please save your money and your sanity and DONT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM XLR

There is also Heaps of living space with room to add a prep table in the kitchen area, right in front of the huge window. Power levelers make things as easy as possible! The party patio is our favorite part, and causes many conversations with fellow campers. The power awning is another wonderful feature that makes this travel trailer EASY PEASY!
