Forest River Vengeance Rogue Armored reviews

The Rogue Armored Toy Hauler is an awesome RV for those looking to have all the comforts of home, including a garage for your toys, while traveling. This is a large RV with plenty of space and sleeping spots for several adults. We have had up to 8 adults live comfortably for extended periods while traveling. 2 bathrooms, one main and one half, offer convenience. The trailer has many options including outdoor kitchen area, 2 slide outs, full size refrigerator, 5500 onboard generator with remote start button, gas tank with nozzle for fueling your toys and running the generator, large rear door that also acts as a patio area with metal railing system, dual bunks in rear area with another separate kids bunk, washer/dryer hookups, outside hose connections for washing the mud off you and your toys and much more.

I contacted Forest River Customer Service for an issue we have with our camper (2019 Vengeance 348A13) and was advised to email pictures to them. We had a water leak develop in a closet in December of 2021. After checking and recaulking the roof area, outside lights and windows, the leak was still there. We called an RV technician to help identify the problem. After removing the front AC unit, the technician found a tear in roofing membrane and obvious signs of water damage. The area was cleaned, sealed with roofing tape and the AC was reinstalled. At this time, I have spent $258 out of pocket for a repair to something that should have never happened. It is obvious that this tear happened during the manufacturing process. We also have a soft spot on the roof area. I asked Forest River if they could help us with repairing the roof members that were starting to rot and install the roof membrane properly. I was told that our camper was no longer under warranty and that the leak was caused by not maintaining the roof properly. I have applied leveling sealant in all areas that I could reach with a caulking gun. I was also told by Forest River that because I didn’t caulk around the AC, that the leak was my fault. I researched caulking around the AC and couldn’t find very much info. Since the AC has a gasket that is compressed when tightened and access would be impossible without removing the AC, I feel like Forest River was telling me to caulk, just to pass blame on me and not accept the fact that their poor manufacturing process is the root cause for our leak. I will never buy a Forest River product again. Show less

Overall we like the RV, but it lacks in a lot of areas. HVAC system is way inadequate, and the rearac continuously freezes up, and the RV dealer says 3 to 6 months wait time for repairs. The heater alone is in able to heat the trailer,and when running the fireplace , it will warm the main room enough to keep the furnace from coming on , causing water lines to freeze. The water lines themselves , hook ups are in protected from weather and fragile, with a vent letting cool air in, hot water heater inadequate,5min. Showers. The master bathroom, shower leaks through the shower door and walls,the wet room in the garage, faucet keeps breaking, absolutely no insulation in toy compartment,main living area, recliner quit working after a few months,no kitchenette/table, cabinets are perfect for 8 foot tall people, my wife is 5'8", I'm 5'10", my son is 6'. We all have to utilize a step stool to reach the upper cabinets. The sink is huge, but only one single tub. Not a big fan of the awnings, can't learn them down or out enough to get shade,the front entrance steps collect tons of debris under them that is extremely hard to get clean.finally the auto leveling system, you have to have the RV setting pretty damn level to begin with or you will be adjusting blocks/Legos for hours just to get set up . only positive things I can say after having it a year is, it's still a pretty camper , there's no soft spots in floors,and the roof doesn't leak, but all windows, doors,and slides have a constant year round breeze.

Piece of crap. Forest river design techs are beyond incapable, approving management must be Chimps throwing bananas? Beware all the max air vents inside this model and probably all models are MANUALLY operated! Yeah a simple power switch to the fans in kitchen and garage bathroom, but unless you are 9 feet tall your not opening that vent lid. Bulls@ Show less

Bought 2018 toy hauler new and have been traveling with it since purchased. It is our second FR trailer and have enjoyed them both. Recently it developed 2 tears in the soft roof and entire roof is bubbled. It was never wrecked or abused in any way. FR will not cover the roof even though it has a 10-12 yr warranty. Personally spoke to the manufacturer and was told the seal had a leak in it. It is obvious the adhesive left loose and is developing tears. Obtained an estimate for new roof of $6K to replace it. Very disappointed Show less

Warranties with Forest River are above and beyond. Our roof was leaking and caused patricidal delamination which Forest River replaced the roof and put all new side walls on. We didn't pay a penny. So our RV is a 2020 on a 2016 frame. I won't buy any other product than a Forest River Product. The 13 foot garage makes use for an office, pantry, extra closet and chest freezer when staying a place for up to a year. Theater seating with fire place and entertainment center making movie watching enjoyable. The loft above make for extra storage when you don't have the grandchildren with. Show less

This toy hauler is very poorly built. Everything is broken from the 12V electrical to the cracked holding tanks. USB plugs do not work. I got the camper from the dealer so dirty. Would not recommend. Show less

Love this rv, has plenty of storage/ room for our toys, gear, luggage, and people. Kitchen is great for socializing. Ac,s work great, keep it cool and it stays cool. Also has heat on the acts that work quick. For us it's a weel built unit. It also looks pretty bad ass going down the road! Show less

Love this RV! Reading the other reviews of other models and issues I must be lucky! I do live full time and have had my 4007 G2 now for 4 months and have had no issues. We started in the winter season in TN but have also been to Florida and experienced the heat. Only issue I have had is the bathroom door had become misaligned and I had to router out the door cavity to accept the lower door catch. I did remove the original inverter, battery charger, and battery. Put the 1000 Watt inverter in my F350. I self installed a "Mac-Daddy" solar power system so I can't comment on the original battery and related electrical system. But didn't see anything odd with equipment or wiring. I love my 4007 G2 and would buy another. Wish... floor insulation didn't end at the garage door separating the two areas.. argh cold floors. Better oven. And larger than 14 gauge wire for most 110v wiring (but it's an RV and this is normal) dont use 1500 watt setting for electric heaters!! 900 is ok. Show less

Bought a Vengeance from Allstar RV Sherwood Park. What we saw, looked right, but the salesman at the RV Show lied about many thing and we had to learn about them the hard way. Trim falls off, window valances too, the stabilizers rusted up in the first weeks of usage, the entire septic system had to be rebuilt as it had vacuum issues and the entire unit smelt like shit, literally. It took months to fix, they had it over the winter. When they pulled it out of storage, the battery wasn't there as they gave it to someone else or they killed it. They promised it would be trickle charged. Fat chance. Dealer gave us a new one. Thanks Pete. The dealer damaged the dual water heater, but covered it. Thanks Pete! The siphon on the fresh water tank was made by an idiot, we'd fill up with water and it would drain out on its own. The dealer techs lied saying that the drain line cap fell off, they changed their tune when i showed them the video I made. Then the dealer covered that too, its a rudimentary repair, it works, I still hope they have a permanent fix, but anyway, thanks, Pete. I wanted my money back. Dealer refused. The only saving grace it the dealers service writer. Pete has even hand delivered parts to my home on his way home... Guess what... Thanks Pete. Moral of the story, before you speak to a sales person, manager, etc., go visit the Service Writer and ask him which makes and models are having problems... I wish I knew Pete before we met the sales team. Show less
