I saw the Jayco Jay Feather in 19 foot model. Everyone has heard of Jayco but Forest River was a new name to me. Anyone have any experience with the manufacturer and any of their hybrid models? msereno • View posts Parkersburg, WV Senior Member Joined: 09/19/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/04/04 08:09am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Forest River is a large manufacturer of many models. Kind of like GM. Forest River makes Rockwood, Surveyor, Salem, Wildwood, Shamrock, and Flagstaff just to name a few. I've had two Salems by Forest River and I am very happy with them.

Click here for a search of Shamrock in the Hybrid forum for the last 12 months. Some of the post are just from folks that have a shamrock or Forest river listed in there signature, but I'm sure there will be some post regarding the Shamrocks that may help you out.

Have been happy with all of them. Our dealer is great, that is one of the most important things. A bad dealer can make any good rv maker look bad.

Numerous posts I have read over the past couple of years applaud Forest River customer service when individuals have had trouble getting satisfaction from their dealer. In fact, one dealer volunteered that Forest River terminates franchise contracts after five customer compaints against the dealer within a 365 day period./jfg Dad (Older than dirt), Mom (Hybrid Convert) Daughters (1996 & 2002) 2006 Nissan Titan XE Crew Cab 4x4 with Off Road and Towing Packages 2005 Surveyor SV-210T coxmcse • View posts Parkville, MD Full Member Joined: 08/14/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/05/04 08:04am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We are on our second Forest River product (both Rockwoods) and we have had nothing but good times. Our Roo 23B was taken back to the dealer for a leak and a misaligned screen door but there was no problem getting those items fixed. Our dealer is great and that is why we went back there to get our second RV. As far as what the dealer volunteered, without seeing it in writing from Forest River and/or comparing it to other companies' policies, it seems unfair to mention. It is, nonetheless, good information to keep in mind. I think a dealer with too many complaints is warning sign for a potential customer whether that customer is a consumer or a manufacturer.

I seen a lot of post with leak problems on different brands but I never heard anyone complain about leaks on a Jayco hybrid. Search for leaks and see if you get any hits on that model.

When making our decision to buy I felt the quality of the Shamrock was above other units we looked at. We did not look at any Jayco hybirds. So far we have been very happy with our pick. 2004 Chevrolet 2500 Suburban 6.0 Liter 3.73 2004 Shamrock 25BH This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Open Roads Forum  >  Hybrid Travel Trailers  > Forest River??
