WORST Major purchase EVER! We bought the Grey Wolf. If I could go back in time and walk away I would. We purchased this as a last resort just to have somewhere to live for a year. I have to say my daughters toddler toys were built more sturdy and durable then this thing. It literally started falling apart the FIRST day of use. Our 17 year old daughter's bunk usb port came out of the wall the FIRST time she pulled it out. The screws were backed into nothing. Nothing was holding them in. So we had to Use double sided tape and duct tape to hold it in for her.Next went the curtain rod holding up her curtain, again a screw with nothing holding it in..The first time my husband plugged the tv chord into the cable outlet on the wall...something inside broke off and fell inside the wall..never to be seen again. It has been just downhill from there people. The panel at bottom of pantry hiding a giant duct just decided to fall over one day.The "high quality" cabinets are no more then cheap splintering wood with the outsides seeming to be a wood looking sticker that is peeling..the sink cover for extra space got moisture due to storing it under couch.so it has swollen and no longer fits in sink..
The fridge quite working 1 month in and ruined new groceries..the shade above the dining table won't stay up..the window behind couch where mold is growing wont slide open. You cant open both drawers for kitchen together as since they were never bolted or screwed to the floor the tip over coming out. Trims are popping off everywhere just for no reason. The electric fireplace burned a white hot spot into the grating and a burnt circular spot on the glass below it (big fire hazard) The tub seal broke and looks to be dislodging.
The cushions on the dining seat are the most annoying cushions ever, they do not stay in place, you will be readjusting them EVERY time you stand up. The kitchen sink where the counter meets the sink was not sealed and started to swell right away. There was pieces of metal shavings in every nook and cranny from when it was made as well as saw dust. My dad had to make a backing for the screen door latch as this was useless and would not hold the screen door closed.
The condensation is so bad on the windows it actually leaks down into puddles on the floor..all the windows had to be shoved full of heavy paper towels..even on sunny days your windows are never dry. Our daughters mattress and sheets were soaked as the window sills just over flowed with condensation and rain water. The Condensation is so bad the metal latch hooks from the storage areas are rusted and cannot be turned with hands anymore only a multi tools. The keys don't work they only spin in the hatch doors.
That storage area under the couch DO NOT use it..The trim on the outside of the pop out where that area is dislodged from the trailor allowing rain water to soak in through the walls to the inside. Everything in there was ruined. And little did we know we have breathing in mold for a couple months. OUr daughter is breathing on a inhaler for the first time in her life. My husband had to get a high dosage of antibiotics for a bacterial/fungal infection and all of us cannot seem to breath good at all every in this thing.
Now our trailor came with a warning for formaldehyde, I believe the levels of it are VERY high. Our eyes and throats burn ALL the time in it.
We purchased the platinum insurance and have read they actually cover very little of anything..calling the rest normal wear and tear. This kind of damage would occur naturally on a house after 20 years..forest river products seem to take less then 1 year to come apart.
For example I took a picture of the bathroom door scratches appearing. These are happening just from opening and closing the door..that part of the door is so soft the back of your fingernail and a light graze leaves a scratch like that.
We are 3 people with no little kids..this kind of wear and tear shows how badly these things are made.
We paid $27,000 for this thing, put 2300 down, with a 12 year loan, total for this pile of garbage will come to $62,000. The way its falling apart we won't be able to resell it. Why is there no lemon law on rv's. read more
