Forest River Cherokee Problems by year

three-quarter inch by 2 1/2 inch. The air conditioners were improperly installed where the ductwork was taped with HVAC tape completely covered with tape, causing the return error to mix with the cold air and water to run directly into the Camper they also did not torque the bolts to 40 inches per pound they weren't even 20 inches per pound and one wasn't even hand tight, causing severe condensation and a spring tail infestation they eat mold of wood. Also, the ductwork has plastic inside it that was not removed by the factory, causing the air to get caught up and not flow properly the distribution box where the ductwork takes a 90° turn in the back upstairs bedroom to the downstairs bedroom was secured with two screws onto the boot. No tape, no clamp. All the cold air was being released into the ceiling also causing condensation. I have advanced pulmonary arterial hypertension, which has led to right side heart failure. The mold spores are causing severe swelling in my legs because my heart has to work harder because my lungs are in flames. I am on disability. I've had to evacuate the destination Camper, which is my home and I've been staying at hotels which I've drained my savings. Forest River wants to fall back on a warranty when this is clearly a manufacturing intentional consumer danger. This house is a depth trap. The cutting in half two by threes are cracking down the middle. There's so many other issues I could inform you of, but that would take too long

area behind the "Wolf Pack" sign, submitted for warranty. Soft spot in the floor of kitchen (panel not properly secured, found out today [[redacted]]), submitted to warranty. Linoleum by the floor tie-downs coming up, submitted for warranty. Water tank leaked out 2/3 of our fresh water on the only camping trip we took. Only had one camping trip since we purcahsed in March 2026. Found out, skirting was replaced under warranty after Bish's RV in Meridian had to fight for us on the full replacement on both sides. Water tank needs a loop in the vent line since the anti-siphon is not working. Biggest worry of all is what the tech found, and I will quote on the work order: "Tie Down Gussets Missing all Nuts to Secure body to Trailer" The manufacturer "FOREST RIVER" did not have any nuts securing the body of the trailer to the frame. This could have KILLED my whole family!!!!!!!!!! Tech ended with "WOW factor" INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

floor, and movement throughout the front of the trailer. Because the pin box transfers all towing forces into the frame, I considered the trailer unsafe to tow and immediately removed it from service. This is a structural failure involving the primary load-bearing chassis, not cosmetic damage. I am concerned this defect could affect towing stability, structural integrity, and increase the risk of failure during highway travel. The trailer has remained at an authorized repair facility for approximately four months awaiting repairs. During that time, I have repeatedly contacted Forest River for updates, often daily, but have received virtually no meaningful communication. My calls have routinely gone unanswered or unreturned, and the repair facility has also struggled to obtain responses, significantly delaying repairs. I am concerned this may represent a broader safety issue affecting other Forest River trailers built on similar Lippert chassis. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether these structural frame failures are occurring in other units and determine whether a safety-related defect exists that warrants corrective action. I have photographs documenting the multiple frame cracks, structural separation, repair records, warranty documentation, and communication records and will provide them upon request.
