Forest River Grey Wolf reviews

Wanted to update my review from last year. This trailer is probably the worst purchase I have ever made. Might want to sit and take a minute to read this. It's detailed. Let me start off by saying I've been camping since I was 6 years old. So I'm definitely not new to this. Nor am I a super boujie person. I'm actually not at all, anyway. After rearranging my cabinets numerous times, I've come to the conclusion that inside storage is a huge problem. When people come to visit for a weekend, literally everyone's clothes (including mine and my daughter's) take up the whole top bunk. The only, one, closet in the bunk room is used for games and crafts for the kids. Clothes aren't able to be stored in the kids room. The only real significant storage is in the pantry which is super deep, but you need to step up onto the slideout step (about inches up) in order to reach in the back. You'd have to put shelves on the shelves to help keep it organized. But don't put too much cause then it starts to warp in. Such as a water gallon or water bottles, soda, whatever. That's definitely got to go on the bottom. Kitchen counter space is so horrible. My toaster and coffee machine take up literally the whole counter, so forget about preparing food near your sink and stove. You'll have to do all that on the dinette table, but make sure the kids aren't at the only table or indoor "play area". Unless you want your kids in bed all day while it's raining . My awning arm broke 7 minutes into a downpour. That was this past summer. Also, the cold water hose under my bathroom sink was never clamped tight enough, and I had about a half an inch of water under the cabinet, which seeped under my shower and into my livingroom under the corener shelves and fireplace. All the wood swelled up with water and mold. I also noticed the floor board seam (under the actual floor) was raising and started to come up through my bathroom floor. Because the front jack was twisted which made the wall panel in my bedroom warp inwards the floor also was creaking. That wasn't fixed over the winter year one (2 months after buying it BRAND NEW) so they are fixing it along with the other newly arised issues, replacing the water damaged wood, and my awning arm. This is winter #2 and both winters it was in the shop getting fixed. So I only used this trailer for literally 6 months. I purchased this trailer May 2022. It was delivered July 2022 due to delivery discrepancies from the dealship- no available personnel & RV shows. Picked up Sept 2022 to fix the front twisted jack, warped bedroom wall panel, a broken USB port and slide out tracking system because it wouldn't completely open or close. Was delivered back to me in May 2023. Awning arm snapped June 2023. Water found from opening bathroom sink cabinet to get cleaning supplies and found molded warped wood June 2023. End of July (ONLY APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE) the dealership came to fix water leak, covered under extra roadside and site warranty. Put in awning arm which ended up being the wrong size (too short). Oh, which then, while putting up the new, short arm, accidently tore/ separated the seam of the awning connecting to the top of the trailer. Only then did I find out that it was actually a manufacturer defect and was a recall due to the faulty and wrong glue. Go figure. But I was never notified about it before that or even after. They assessed the damage and decided I should call and arrange for them to pick it up for the winter so they can make all necessary repairs at the shop since they would have to lift the trailer to fix the floor beam and find out why the bedroom floor is creaking. So overall this thing has been a nightmare and it's been a huge headache. Couldn't even imagine if I actually used this trailer as a "travel" trailer which it is designed to be. After all warranties and extra add ons for road side assistance I spent almost $50,000 on something I've only used for 6 months. I have about $35,000 left on my loan. I'm just over it. Show less

First of all we found a big gap in the floor under the dinette which allowed mice to get in. We quickly closed this. Our first night camping we heard dripping comping from our bathroom. Luckily we were able to take a couple of bolts off the bottom of shower pan to find a loose nut. Ok easy fix. The next is where at a naked eye you would think they sealed the windows correctly with butalin tape and sealant....not it was foam. So the furthest window leaked. I actually found puddle of water on side table by couch. Now we noticed the slide dragging and theres pale yellow staining on the floor....yup water damage oh and if things couldn't get worse we now have a soft spot by door.....omg really. Looks the door is channelling water into the entry....its only 3 years old and now with considerable water damage..... I am ready just to get rid of it. Been camping for many years, just was hopeful that this beautifully laid out floor plan would work....ugh....not. Show less

Over quality is made poorly. 1 month into using this trailer last year the bedroom wall warped inwards, the front left jack was bent, shower walls literally is plastic just bolted in 3 spots, is not glued or sealed. Walls in the hallways are thinner than plywood do not anchor to anything solid so you do not lean on them at all. The slide out was off track which prevented me from opening or closing it all the way which then made a gap under and on top which enabled bugs to get in. I do however like the set up. After much thought and organizing I was able to figure out how to store my belongings but the back bunk closet area was super tricky to put any shelves in do to the entrance opening being too narrow.

Ernie and David in sales were a pleasure to work with, my only issue there I stated I wanted a hitch with weight distribution and sway control. Was sold a hitch being told we use this one all the time and has sway control. I have a serious sway issue so in looking for the cause spoke to Blue Ox and was told what I had was an entry level hitch and had minimal sway control. I believe it was lack of knowledge not dishonesty on sales part. After one outing and having a serious sway problem started looking for the cause. I found three of the four tires to have the start of broken belts. Contacted the dealer and was told by Jody in service he found that hard to believe and told me they couldn't just replace tires. He did give me the phone number of the warranty company so I could contact them. Upon further inspection I found hitch was installed incorrectly, spoke to Ernie who is looking into what can be done. Two days and no response. I paid 600 dollars for service I don't believe was done and purchased extended warranty with tire warranty. So on a 2022 trailer that was supposed to be serviced I'm out 600 plus for new tires and have to correct the hitch myself service department is an absolute joke and should be avoided at all costs. Seems once they have you money your on your own. Buyer beware of Manheim location. Hopefully the other two locations have better service Show less

Have had since Oct 2016. Literally slept in it twice then had to have driver side lower half resided because it buckled out. Finally got back and just took it out of town. By the time reached our destination, now top 2 or 3 rows on same side are buckled out! I am NOT a "Happy" camper! Furthermore, air conditioner cycles off and on too much. Stay worried that it is going to burn up! Show less

This is my second Forest River. Love, Love... walkable roof is awesome, very nice interior for the price. Love the interior and exterior colors. Well made and no issues what so ever. We feel confident when camper that we have chosen the best fit for us! Show less

The bed had to be redone before anybody could sleep in it - 3/8 plywood falling apart no bracing, no finish on cabinets when I get done it will look awesome. And I love it for the price. Show less
