Forest River Wildwood FSX Toy Haulers Travel Trailer reviews

I am writing this review in hopes that anyone who is searching for a RV travel trailer will stay clear of Forest River. I am not sure what type of quality assurance process they have but maybe someone needs to evaluate that department. We purchased a new Forest River Wildwood Platinum 29BUD floor plan RV and have had nothing but issues. This was our first RV so we were not sure what to look for, now I know! The screen door does not latch there is a gap between the door and the frame. The RV bathroom has done nothing but leak since we used it, sink leaked, coupling not attached to water hose. Shower leaked, not only was it not calked properly but the hose coupling on the water line was not seated properly. The gas heat works when it wants too and the bed board in the primary bedroom broke in half!! This is unacceptable to manufacture a product in this manner. Does this company not even care that people spend their hard earned money, I understand that we did not pay 100s of thousands for this RV but 30+ thousand was a lot of us. POOR Quality. I wish the list of ratings were more along the actual product quality. We choose the floor plan so that would be on us if we didn't like it. I'm sure it tows as any other RV trailer, over all quality does not say it all. Show less

We purchased this RV two months after buying our Jayco 265RLS. The Jayco was too big for us to tow with our 2019 Chevy Tahoe LS. Wanting to travel and not just remain Camp Rats, we looked into a smaller yet functional travel trailer that we could easily tow. The real star on this camper is the Super Slide. You would be amazed the added space you get on a 23' camper when it is out. The Wildwood weighs less than 4200 pounds and tows very nicely. While it is a single axel, it still tracks well with our Husky 32218 Center Line TS weight distribution hitch and sway is kept to a bare minimum. We love the Bonus Bunk that folds out above the Jack Knife sofa. This provides a great place for our 6 small pups to hang out and watch the world from the super sized windows. Another plus is the U shaped Dinette. Extra seating where you need it and great under bench storage as well. The 12Volt 11Cu' refrigerator is excellent. Minus's - The toilet is placed a bit close to the right wall in the bathroom. If you are a larger individual, you might have issues. The Roof needed to be completely resealed before I picked this unit up from the dealer - always check your roof seals. The Dinette seat support boards were held in place with cheap angled plastic strips and half of the staples used missed their marks. I replaced the plastic with aluminum strips and am quite happy with the results. There is a wall plate above the TV mount that covers the pass through to the outside wall for the wiring to run to the power awning. Ours had a leak from the factory because some idgit forgot to apply caulking where needed. I fixed mine with no problems. The camper came with China Bombs from the factory and I insisted they be replaced with Goodyears as part of our deal. There are NO power receptacles on the slide side of the camper. We installed AC outlets next to the power / circuit / fuse panel and it really enhances functionality when you need to operate your computer at the Dinette without stringing extension cords across the camper. I contemplated replacing the fans with more powerful units but have not. I considered replacing the wood used on the Bonus Bunk for better support. I considered installing a window into the entry door for light and seeing who is approaching the door. Show less

Purchased used, moved in on existing lot. As with many manufacturers there is some confusion on exact model, Floorplan. Manufacturer placard states model SMT200RK but finding info online is scarce. Overall very pleased with quality, seems well enough insulated to keep heated and cooled even in sweltering heat southeast Texas is known for. Show less

I liked the larger gas oven and 4 burner cook top. I also liked the colors. I've had several leaks which most have been taken care of by the dealer, Camping World of Asheville, until the shower was never fixed. It still leaks from underneath and the sliding glass door leaks profusely when the rain comes from that side. I called again to have them come out and fix what they hadn't fixed and they said it would cost $200 for the service call. I said it was never fixed. Come to find out this Camping World doesn't have a mobile repair van. So I'm at their mercy, until I contacted Forest River they informed me that, that Camping World doesn't have a mobile, that's why I have to pay. During the email they sent me what I needed to do for the warranty work and a list of the mobile repair places that they authorize and they will reimburse me whatever the cost. So I'm awaiting the phone call for the repair people to come out and do the repairs. My unit is a permanent unit therefore I can't tow it. Show less

We had multiple issues including a kinked water line, door's not latching, broken AC vent. Curtain rods hung too far out so hanger stuck out of the closets. On our second trip our refrigerator came loose and popped out at the bottom, staples seemed to be the only thing holding it in place. And that is not everything. Purchased in January, warranty ended after our first trip. Show less

Great family RV with plenty of room. Loved the separate room for kids. Towed well. Sturdy. storage was adequate for full time living. We upgraded our bed to a full queen size.

Love the floor plan the most The Queen size murphy bed is both comfortable and versatile. The 11 cu ft refrigerator freezer works great and runs on 12volt as well as 120vac . The outside mini fridge is perfect for cold drinks qnd snacks. you can even keep a few popsicles in the freezer compartment too. The rear bathroom is large and has its own vanity with sink and medicine caninet. The dinette folds into a bed to sleep an adult or two kids. There is an outside shower with hot and cold water, Also a hookup for an lp gas grill. Also a black tank flush. The holding tanks are ample fir this camper. The AC is powerful, and each roof vent has a small fan. The camper is easy to tow. Dry weight is only 3,100 lbs. It has a rechargeable portable bluetooth speaker to listen to music wherever you want. The cabinet doors over the dinette needed two dampers installed to stay up, but those were less than ten dollars. Show less

We purchased new with extended warranty. Great for a couple, or family with young kids. Easy to tow, and comfortable. I did many simple upgrades myself to make it more homely. We sis have an issue with the slide out the second year but was repaired under warranty. They also did a couple of recalls, so it feels really solid (ours is 170SSX Platinum with fiberglass walls). Wish it had more outdoor compartments, but it is very practical. Show less

We bought our 271rl brand new back in October. When looked at the RV we loved the floor plan and visually the RV was nice. We have had it 3 months now and already things are starting to break, I am noticing things missing like 5 screws in the restroom skylight, the fire place has already quit working, the hidden pantry door drag’s tremendously making it hard to open, the cold water on the island sink stopped working, the catch/latch on the “hamper” by the bed broke, and the kitchen sink wasn’t sealed correctly and now the counter top is bubbling up. There are also areas where the nail holes were filled with putty but not sanded, and I’m sure the list will get longer as we continue to use it. Very disappointed in this RV. Now we are stuck with it and a loan payment. I wouldn’t recommend this trailer to anyone. Show less

We are a family of 4 plus one dog and this camper allows for plenty of space for all of us. The main living area is spacious. The separate master bedroom provides privacy and lots of additional storage. The quality has been great with only minor fixes due to general wear and tear. It tows great and has TONS of storage areas. Show less
