This camper is like a home it's large enough for the whole family, feels very comfortable to be in and easy to cook. I love the kitchen island the most! It has a great speaker system you can listen to inside and out one at a time or all together. You can also mount a tv to watch outside while enjoying the weather. And how convenient is the outdoor kitchen.. the camper offers lots of storage and we'll know that's always an issue in a camper. Easy towing with my Ford F150 and that sway bar hitch I'm including in the sail saves you alot of money.

Overall trailer is great, floor plan is what we needed. We are a couple and only camp 12-20 days each year, no kid, no pets, garage kept. The fender covers were not supported other than screws that kept fenders on unit. When pulling trailer wind apparently vibratred fenders and virtually destroyed fenders until i realized the problems and secured to trailer better. Now I am stuck without fenders. The fenders from manufactory cost up to $400.00 each. There are no generic fenders available. What am i to do.?

I bought the wildcat, like the floorplan! But the quality isn't very good! In some areas! The wiring quality is very poor! Things like in the bathroom the wall receptacle wiring wasn't hooked up very well, could have been a fire hazard! The heater failed bad crimping wires, The cable failed bad crimp! A/C has stopped working bad wires I suppose, it's not fixed yet! It's so hot in the trailer I had to buy a standup a/c unit so I could cool the inside down! Not very happy with the quality!

We purchased this unit new from Optimum RV in Ocala, Florida. I have mentioned them in a rv dealer review. This unit is I’d say mid range $$. For the most part we really like the floor plan and general looks. The overall quality is lower than expected. As we bought this unit new online sight unseen we were a bit disappointed. We bought a Jayco new online sight unseen and loved it but they didn’t have the floor plan we liked this time. So the Wildcat was a disappointment, the king size mattress had to be replaced the first week, yes it left our body prints in it the first week, so that had to go. Shower drain was broken and leaked all over floor, back window leaked. The old style roll up window shades didn’t all work. Some went up some not. Some fell apart in our hands. The radio didn’t work with the tv/sound system. My wife could not open the outside door. The kitchen sink pipes were all loose and flooded the kitchen first time using. Sawdust, plastic wire coverings all in the cupboards and closets. All in all no attention to detail or craftsmanship.

We purchased the 322rli 2 weeks ago. In this time every hose in the RV has leaked and been tightened at least once. The shower drain was crooked and leaks, the shower doors seals leak. Around the shower door base had no silicone and leaked all over the place. The shower floor is soft and after inspection there is almost no support underneath. The back window leaked during a rain storm last week. My wife can not open the outside door it is so tight and out of adjustment. A couple of minor tears in hide a bed and wallpaper. Sawdust and filings in most drawers and in all cupboards. On the outside siding there are several places that I had to file to make the edges smooth. Along the metal siding under the fibreglass part they put a 3’ piece at the end instead of running a whole piece to the end. Then just screwed it together with no trim and razor sharp edges exposed. We have had a Jayco, Heartland and now a Forest River. We are very disappointed with the overall workmanship of the FR. There is no attention to detail whatsoever. After talking to other RV owners Forest River is not the only one that puts out substandard units and workmanship. Again at this point we are disappointed with our first impression but we hope over time this will be an enjoyable RV.

Though we have tried to take good care of this trailer, our first RV, we have had nothing but problems with it since we bought it. The Dometic refrigerator quit working pretty quickly, followed by the furnace, and the converter constantly fried the batteries and now the converter has died completely. Even though the interior looked nice at 1st glance, when you look close, the finishes are put on sloppily and crooked (i.e., switch plates, drawers, etc.). My husband has had to rebuild/fix several drawers, constantly tighten the blind strings so the blinds will stay up, fix leaky pipes, and forget about opening some of the windows - they won't budge unless you yank on them so hard the window frame breaks. We give up on this thing and can't wait to get rid of it. My brother has a Forest River 5th wheel and has had just as much trouble with his. STAY AWAY FROM FOREST RIVER TRAILERS!
