We just bought our FR Salem earlier this year. It was brand new, a leftover. It's a nice trailer but the fit and finish leaves a little to be desired. No major problems just little stuff that I can live with. The Prowler we had before this was better built than this one. That was a solid trailer.

We have a Forest River XLR 3712SA (it's a TH) and the fit and finish has been fine....no real issues to speak of, and the 1 or 2 things we found during the first few trips were fixed right away.
All in all, I'm very happy with our Forest River product.

Forest River is made of several different companies it has bought. Different plants make the various models, some are better then others. I bought a Cherokee and it has held up better then I expected. It has not been trouble free. The tub/shower pan cracked along with the bottom of the bathroom sink. That could be from storing it at a place that was -54 degrees one winter.

We bought a 2004 Rockwood Roo 21 RS (by Forest River). The problems started the day we purchased it. We had to wait an extra day to take delivery then the day of pick up we still had to wait for a couple hours. We had plug wiring problems till the day we traded it (Nov 08) sometimes lights worked and sometimes not, sometimes brakes worked and sometimes not. I had it in a bunch of times and they never found the problem. We had problems with interior wiring as well. There were problems with the fridge after the first month that they couldn't figure out as well. I believe it was tied into the electrical issues. We were disappointed in the quality of the finish inside as well. After a year it looked like a 10 year old trl. The cabinetry was falling apart, wall paper falling down and trim was coming off. There was some other small things but that was the big stuff. It is possible that it was a lemon... but you could just tell the workmanship wasn't there.

We love our Flagstaff. Very few issue over 3 years and 20,000 km. We ind the workmanship to be better that most in the same price range.

First TT was a Gulfstream, second Starcraft, and third is a Flagstaff. None of them went back for warranty work. I think the fit,finish, and quality was pretty much the same with all three.

We have a FR 8314SS that is doing well except for the soft floor where the furnace ducts run. Several minor items were self repaired when new and the new dining table chairs finally came in. Took almost a year. Over all we like the trailer floor plan and all the functional items still work well. We have pulled it just over 13K miles and spent two summers in it. The quality seems to be on par with the other brands. But being an Ultra-lite it is built with inexpensive lightweight material.
