Time Out Camperspage=2page=2 5th Wheel reviews

Floorplan is livable and setting up is easy. The hydraulics work well so far but the self lever doesn't quite know where level is. The heater works. Both AC units have died, but even when they worked they couldn't put a dent in the high temperatures. It's like living in a soda can. Beware of the stairs because they both are faulty. One broke then a month later the other one did too. The first one almost killed me. Two of the four locks on the storage compartment doors don't work but maybe someone tried to break in, I dunno. There is a water leak somewhere and when I tried to see where it was coming from I could see the ducts under the floor and it, along with all the water and gas lines, look like a blind five year old put them in. Ducts are crushed and the water and gas lines look like spaghetti. Almost forgot, one of the awnings ,for no reason at all, just decided to let the material part go. I bought this thing brand new and it is the worst decision I have made since I was 20. Show less

I purchased it privately when it was two years old. I was told the hot water tank had already been replaced. There are so many poor quality issues I don't know were to start. One of the biggest issues for me is the fact there is no insulation in the walls. My neighbors might as well be sitting in my unit as I can hear everything. Yes one A/C can't come close to cooling it. 85 outside 85 inside but no humidity. Close the drawers in the kitchen and you can still see the drawer slide ends . Cheap vent fans with small fans blades don't really exhaust any air. I can go on and on but you get the picture. I know most RVs are far from perfect but I definitely would never buy a Prime Time again. I could have gotten a much better built unit for the same price I paid. Looks good but that's it . Show less

Sanibel 3902, for its price, has great space which includes a very workable kitchen with a full-size range and a residential refrigerator plus the full-size pantry. The 80 inch sofa has a fold out bed. This unit includes theater seating with cupholders and charging stations in its console. we have had no major issues with issue unit and I’m not sure what the other negative comments are except maybe lack of experience in maintaining an RV. This particular RV has suited our family well for two years. We are ready to downsize. And pass it on to the next family who will enjoy it as much as we have. This is our sixth RV, all purchased new from various manufacturers and we have yet to own one that didn’t require minor maintenance such as tightening screws and checking that sink drains are tight. This is part of owning an RV. Show less

We have owned our Crusader since new and we love it. I’m surprised by some of the comments on quality. We had a few issues but our dealership stood behind what they sold and repaired any problems. We love the spaciousness, the ample amount of storage and the open floor plan. This is a great rv for couples and there’s even room for grandkids on the comfortable pull out couch. Towing is a breeze. Setting up at camp takes minutes with auto leveling. We Show less

The Crusader 382MBH offers the best in creature comforts for traveling on the road in style. Its spacious interior allows ample room for a quiet couples retreat or a rambunctious family of six. It is a little heavy so make sure your rig is plenty capable, especially if you plan on traveling over the Rockies. Show less

Terrible build quality, screws sticking up through the carpet in many places, trim warped, back flush did not work, took it back to dealer for service , the tech cut large sections of under pining to try and fix back flush issue, did not fix or repair the damaged under pining, I called factory, they were not much held, I did a finally found the back flush vale's was installed backwards. 3 of the water connections under the sink were leaking. Fun Town RV in Conroe Texas has terrible service techs. Will not buy another Forest River product. When I called the factory to try and get the back flush to work I told the about the screws sticking up through the carpet also and they didn't think it was an issue. Doing my own repairs because I can't trust Fun Town RV to do the work correctly. Show less

Let me just that for the money I paid for this trailer, the craftsmanship is crap. If your looking for a trailer, by pass this one. DO NOT buy any trailer 2019, 2020, 2021 or 2022. They are considered COVID trailers. Shabily put together and just all around crap. I am a single person who lost her partner due to cancer, and I took the money that was left to me after being kicked out of my little home to live full time in this trailer. So many things were wrong, broke, and let me tell you the electrical in the front was not hooked up right, I had to have an RV place completely redo it in order for the electrical outlets to work at all in the front of the trailer and on the outside. Also, get this, the shower, was NEVER connected to anything so for a year I used the shower, the water just dumped to the bottom of the trailer. Was not hooked to any pipes or nothing for draining. So if you have one these trailers make sure you have that checked. You will know if your trailer looks like you have a waterbed under trailer holding gallons of water like I do. I think all of us should get together and sue the manufacturer. Any takers? Show less

This 5th Wheel has been home for us. We were in-between homes and needed our own place. So, we purchased this lovely 40' 5th Wheel to call it a temporary home. It's been great to have our own place. We had the septic and water hooked up on our family's farm. It's been home for 6 months. We have redesigned it to accommodate 2 adults. Got rid of the RV sofa bed and the uncomfortable RV chairs. Replaced with Lazy Boy Electric Recliners. Also, a New Deluxe King Mattress. Custom ordered from a Furniture Store. It's only been moved from the dealer to a campground and we purchased it and moved it 20 miles down the road. It has less than 100 miles road travel. Beautiful wood trim and a lovely awning. Tires are good to roll. Show less

Open floor plan and 5 slides helps 5th wheel feel more spacious. Regular sized French door refrigerator insure enough food storage and the island sink helps with clean up. Full-sized shower and bathroom storage help feel like home. Lots of storage for extra camping gear and toys. Show less

RVS.com by Camping World in Nashville is crap. Told the Sales team I was giving them 2 weeks to go over everything to make sure it was working before I picked it up. When I went to pick up the unit, the maintenance technician vaguely did a point to this and that, but never took the time to go over anything. Found that during the 2 weeks, I waited, this trailer had been used as a parts bin for other campers on the lot. Wrote down everything that was missing and got that on a "we owe you"sheet as part of the sale...simple things missing/broken easily fixed. Brought the camper home 3 1/2 hours away. Next day started checking it out. slide switches inoperable, auto leveling system inoperable. Camp side slide sprung outward when closed and not sealing all the way. Forward Awning switch missing, curain broken, grid on closet door warped from heat, shower door cracked, but everything is ready to go. Next day, back up to Nashville I go on a 3 1/2 hour drive for warranty work only to be told by warranty lady that I better get used to everything breaking for at least a year or more. AVOID RVS.COM NASHVILLE or Camping World Period and get something other than a Prime Time Sanibel. Only good thing so far is the floorplan, and what the heck is up with that super long low sweepback angle lippert 1970's pin box. You will need a 250/2500HD Diesel to pull this thing really, but better make sure it's a long bed because of the pin box and even then questionable if it will clear the bed rails. Show less
