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.

This bunkhouse model is surprisingly livable for my wife, myself, and our dog. He has mad himself at home in the lower bunk.But the fit and finish of this unit leave a lot to be desired.Their audio system is supposed to be able to differentiate inside versus outside, but that does not work. The mattress quit after a week, and being a non-standard size, was difficult to replace (short-king 65”x72”).The drawers in the kitchen have pulled from their slides.Their Summit TV is not a smart TV, and is incompatible with some streaming applications if you happen to use an iPhone.You have to be certain to use a regulator with enough volume, or your showers with the tankless water heater will go cold often!And we’ve had intermittent alarm codes given from the water heater from shortly sherry seeing it up.Sooner of this may be due to it being new, but that seems odd.The deadbolt on the entry door is broken and needs replaced.And then there was manufacturing debris all over the unit. Metal shavings, saw dust, staples, and even the material from a hole saw. None of which were caught by the manufacturer or Camping World.Outside of these stresses, it has been a positive experience. I just don’t think I’ll go with Forest River going forward.

This was our first RV. Purchased it for my travel nurse daughter to use while working so she didn't have to pack & unpack in apartments every contract. We had the Wolf Pup 17JG for 3 months & my daughter wanted some heat strips added to the AC unit for just chilly days that didn't need the furnace. Her husband brought it back from her Georgia contract, the schwintek slide had only 7 out/in cycles on it since we bought it. Took it into the dealer, slide worked fine when we retracted & brought it home. They added the strips & after we got it home we tried to open the slide to check their work. The slide wouldn't budge. It was stripped out. Techs said we must have damaged it on the way home from their shop. Yeah right. Couldn't prove it however so we told them to fix it under warranty. They told us that there was a parts shortage due to Covid. Six month's later we have to basically go into the showroom at stage a sit in before they miraculously found parts & fixed it! The slide hadn't been installed straight from the factory & they had to pull it completely out & reinstall it straight with the new slide hardware to get it fixed. We then took it home AGAIN, put the slide out & the first thing we saw was they hadn't installed the weather seal over top of the slide! You could put your hand outside over top the slide! *sigh* Horrible build quality from the Forest River factory, the dealer service under warranty was almost non-existent, just a horrid experience all round. Once they get you signed on the contract they don't want to hear from you ever again!

The roof already has a soft spot in it. The jack broke on our second trip. We replaced it with an electric one from Harbor Freight. The shelves are falling, the latch on a cabinet door broke. The shower doesn’t have a lip so water would leak out of it. The overall quality of the build was bad. Do not recommend this one at all.

This RV is exceptional! The space is great for multiple people, the balance is awesome and makes the towing experience seamless. The full size refrigerator and stove is really nice for cooking meals and there is a TON of storage space with this RV. I really love this RV.

We bought the unit new in 2023. First thing that went wrong was the water heater didn’t work. The dealer was able to get Forest River to provide a different brand (Subruban). This was our first experience with an on demand water heater. If we had to do it over again we would chose a regular water heater. The main entry door never did work correctly (still doesn’t) even though the dealer fixed it 3 times. Still doesn’t work right. On our trip back from Michigan (after the door had been fixed) It came open on the highway even though it was locked and the large handle was closed over it! The current trip we are on is to Florida and now the sliding door hinge to the bedroom came off while traveling and the door screws are stripped. We are veteran rv’rs and have had many different types and brands of rv’s/travel trailers over the years and the East/West is the worst. We would never buy this brand again.

We love our Geo Pro G19FBS! We got it for our small family and dog. It was our first travel trailer, upgrading from tent camping. We love all aspects of the trailer. While it being a smaller trailer, It comes with a slide giving more room! The floor plan is perfect with a full size queen bed. The bathroom is on the other end and works great. Though the shower is great, I am 6ft. and my head is kind of in the Sun window. The kitchen has everything you need, 3burner stove, and oven, Microwave and a propane/ electric Fridge/Freezer. The couch is somewhat comfortable, but add a few throw pillows and it is nice. The TV DVD Combo got a lot of use during nighttime and bad weather. I really enjoy sitting under the awning in the morning drinking my coffee, then cooking on the outdoor griddle. Being a first time travel trailer owner, this trailer is really easy to tow, and to operate.

We loved the Flagstaff 25BRDS. It was a great first trailer for us and our family. We loved the double bunks and also the pass through door under the bunks was very convenient. The Murphy bed was also convenient because it gave us the extra seating when we needed it. The automatic stabilizers were also a huge bonus along with the slide toppers. Overall it was a great trailer and definitely recommend.
