Disaster from day 2! This manufacturer builds crap! Everything breaks and everything leaks. 2 of 3 slides are soaked and broken to the point that one has a 2" gap at the seal. It rains buckets inside. We have mold. And we live in it. Bankruptcy is the only way out! RUN!!!! Do not buy Forest River! Show less

Buyer beware. If you buy one of these be prepared to go over and reseal every place they caulk or sealed in any way or within 18 months the water will be coming in and it is your fault because you didn’t redo there poor quality work . They will blame it on government regulations that don’t let them use quality materials any longer. Gorilla tape and silicone caulk would be a vast improvement. Would not recommend this brand to anyone. Show less

Let's first say. Do not buy this rodent welcome home p.o.s. there are holes everywhere. Not just holes but 5 inch up to 10 inch holes left with nothing to protect from the outside environment. Mice RATS and snakes have total free will to the inside. So if they drilled a hole for anything but was off, they drilled another 1 or 2 times next to it leaving the rest totally open. I've found 20 of these in mine so far. Now as to quality. Doors are wall paper and pealing off. Drawer have all broken cracked, split, or just the rails completely fall out. Plumbing leaks underneath. Propane line with holes in it. P traps installed wrong. Shower panels not glued to the wall. Shower floor cut way to big and falling in and leaking. Counter top pulled out from the wall. Awning broke completely down. Getting a reimbursement from them is like pulling teeth. Bedroom fireplace quit working. Lights over stove and pantry quit working. Oh. Did I say we've only had this for 6 months??? Let's not stop there. Bedroom dresser drawer, sides, and frame have all broke. Screen door does not slide. Gaps on the bottom of the slide outs. Refrigerator growls loudly ha,ha, no not at 2am it's not!!! So please BID THIS WARNING. DO NOT BUY FROM FOREST RIVER. Show less

2023 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB Twin Bed Review The 2023 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB Twin Bed is a stunning travel trailer that combines timeless Airstream design with modern luxury and practicality. With its distinctive aluminum exterior, sleek lines, and compact size, the Globetrotter 25FB is a perfect blend of classic Airstream charm and contemporary features aimed at the discerning traveler. Design & Build Quality: 9/10 Airstream has long been known for its high-quality craftsmanship, and the 2023 Globetrotter 25FB is no exception. The iconic polished aluminum exterior gleams under the sun, ensuring that this camper stands out wherever you take it. Inside, the Globetrotter is equally impressive, with a clean, minimalist design that utilizes premium materials like walnut cabinetry, ultra-leather seating, and expansive windows that offer panoramic views. The build quality is top-notch, as expected from Airstream. The aluminum body is not only eye-catching but incredibly durable, providing excellent insulation, soundproofing, and resistance to rust and corrosion. The smooth ride and stability are noticeable when towing, thanks to its robust frame and suspension system. Interior & Comfort: 8.5/10 The twin bed configuration of the 25FB is an appealing option for those who prefer individual sleeping spaces, or for couples who want a bit more room to stretch out. The beds themselves are comfortable, with high-quality memory foam mattresses and ample storage underneath. The layout feels spacious for a 25-foot trailer, and the clever design ensures every inch of space is put to good use. The living area is open and airy, with plenty of natural light streaming in through the large windows. The kitchen is well-equipped with a two-burner cooktop, a microwave, a high-end refrigerator, and plenty of counter space for meal prep. There’s a substantial amount of storage in the kitchen and throughout the entire trailer, with deep drawers, overhead cabinets, and even hidden compartments. The bathroom is compact but functional, featuring a stand-up shower, a porcelain toilet, and a sink with counter space. The design is sleek and clean, although a little tight for taller users. Technology & Features: 9/10 The 2023 Globetrotter 25FB comes with a wide array of high-tech amenities, all designed to make life on the road easier and more enjoyable. Airstream has partnered with brands like *Sonos* for premium audio, and the trailer includes USB charging ports, LED lighting, and smart technology integration throughout. The Airstream's Smart Control System allows you to monitor and control the trailer's climate, lighting, and more via a mobile app, which is a fantastic touch for those who enjoy tech-savvy solutions while camping. Towing & Performance: 8/10 Weighing in at around 6000 lbs, the 2023 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB is easily towable by most mid-sized SUVs or trucks, though you’ll want a vehicle with a tow capacity of at least 6,000 lbs for added peace of mind. On the road, the Globetrotter performs admirably, offering a smooth, stable ride thanks to its torsion axle suspension and solid braking system. The aerodynamic design helps reduce wind drag and improves fuel efficiency when towing, which is especially important for those planning long road trips. While towing the Globetrotter is relatively easy, it’s still a large trailer, so novice towers may need to get used to its size when maneuvering in tight spaces. Pros: - Beautiful, timeless design with premium materials - Comfortable twin bed configuration, perfect for couples or friends - Excellent build quality, highly durable and insulated - Abundance of smart features and tech integration - Solar panels for off-grid capabilities - Smooth towing and good fuel efficiency - Spacious and well-appointed kitchen and bathroom Conclusion: The 2023 Airstream Globetrotter 25FB Twin Bed is an exceptional option for those seeking a blend of luxury, performance, and iconic design. It offers a level of comfort and style rarely seen in travel trailers, with a fantastic layout and a suite of modern features that make life on the road easier. While it comes with a hefty price tag, the quality, durability, and overall experience it offers justify the investment for those who want a premium RV. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a cross-country adventure, the Globetrotter is a reliable and stylish companion. Show less

Lived in this model for 2 years and had little to no issues. Easy to tow, easy to go off grid. To be fully boondockable, I recommend updgrading to Lithium, getting in inverter, and an additional solar panel. The kitchen area is very well laid out, and surprisingly there are a ton of storage options. It's well suited for 1 person and a pet. 2 people can also share the space, but not recommended for long term living arrangements. Show less

We bought ours used from a couple that only used it 3 times.We have had it out 6 times now. I have fixed a few minor things and added windows and other upgrades That we wanted. I did find some sloppy/overlooked things that I took care of myself. It seems to me after reading reviews the factory that makes these has good days and bad days. I think ours was built during mostly good days. Show less

Because of the limited towing capacity of our vehicle the Shasta Compact 16RE was the perfect option. Campers with slide outs, longer lengths, and a dual axel were too heavy. I don't feel like I'm sacrificing anything with this camper. The bed is large, there is a lot of storage space, I like that it has a shower and a toilet. I wish it had a table but we opted for the model with a couch since we typically eat outside. Show less

Just bought this unit the furnace that came in it didn’t work right was bad from factory . Was sent a new one and it works better but not correct have to keep re setting the thermostat it is absolutely ridiculous the heater is in back of camper bedroom in front and only has one vent it struggles to keep warm in there apparently this system is new 6 months old I don’t recommend buying this until that system has bugs out and a good working furnace Show less

We purchased a 2023 Vibe rear kitchen in October 2022. Love the floor plan, beautiful to look at . We have used the camper 9 times and in August of 2024 we went to use the over the bed cabinets and saw that the "wood look" paper was peeling from the sides of the cabinet. Looking further we found the same paper peeling in various places including the entire top of the pull out section. We called the dealer who said it was no longer under warranty. My husband called Forest River directly and they said oh yeah, we had a bad batch of glue. Two days later we found the entire bedroom closet door and jam had fallen off the wall. There is a crack in the top corner of the shower wall. The bathroom faucet handles are cracking and falling off. The camper jack fell down when we were coming home from a trip - scraping the highway all the way home. We had to buy and install a new one. The kitchen seats broke with the first use as the screws were not completely in the correct place. We have since had to reinforce both booth bottoms. Just one issue after another. I have never been so disappointed in such poor use of materials and workmanship for something that we still owe $30,000 on. We paid $50,000. What a complete waste of hard earned money. Do NOT buy a Forest River product!! Show less

The concept is nice, but the frame design is lousy. Towing at a near level profile with a balanced load, the suspension is crappy as contents so not ride with any stability and doors fling open and food and clothes and everything else is a scattered mess upon arrival after conservative driving Bottoms out and damages to sewer connections and stabilizers occur. Would never buy this ever if we had known Show less
