Maybe you didn't get ahold of the right person at Forest River. Try Steve Hicks. We have a Cedar Creek and belong to a Cedar Creek RV Owners Club, and most all of them are very happy with the service they've received from Forest River and Steve Hicks. If you pm me, I'll give you his email address and phone number.

I think you mean to say "what will happen to me".

Sounds like your over-reacting just a bit. It's just decals.

Here, have a beer.

what kind of answer is this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so if you bought a new car and the side moldings were coming off or the bumpers flapped in the wind you wouldnt react??? ooo the the paint is chipping ? have a beer and relax its just paint!!

I am on my 3rd in a row Forest River product. My current unit has been to the shop once to replace a door hinge in the bedroom. My last 2 were never in the shop for anything. IMO FR is very good product. I would try fixing the decals yourself. You may be able to take a blow dryer to the bubbled spots, get them warm and use a credit card or something similar to work the bubbles out. Good luck!

Interesting because we've had a few issues with our flagstaff and there's not been a single problem getting them fixed. Perhaps your dealer is the issue? Ours has provided amazing service and we WILL buy another Forest River when we upgrade to a 5'er in a few years. I guess some of the lemon sneak out of the production line, but we're extremely happy with our TT and the service.

I have contacted the actual warranty department and talked with the girl that handels the warranty claims on my TT. The first time I had talked with her she made the mistake of telling me they even had a batch of decals that had bad glue on them. It just seems they will not help, she also stated to me my 2009 TT is to old to be covered by there warranty. I wish I new what there warranty was good for and for how long.

I think that most vehicle manufacturers, including motor vehicles and RVs, don't handle tire warranties. I think that this is usually handled through a dealer who represents the tire manufacturer.

Your 2009 TT is too old?? What were you supposed to do, buy a 2011 model? I don't blame you for being frustrated.

this may help, may not - Forest River has seen a slew of bad decals - peeling off left and right - I've heard of lots of folks with those new Rpods say they're coming off. Now IMHO most RV decals can come of and the thing looks better, but from what I've heard it's also been no problem to get new decals under warranty.

Perhaps you can try talking to someone else... or perhaps your dealer is at odds with them and it's not helping your situation...

best of luck.

On our 2005 FR Flagstaff, the mountain decals shrunk and bubbled. Took it to our dealer and FR had no problems covering it under warranty.
