Other or unspecified, Equipment, Structure, Sep 8, 2026
The door in the second bedroom will not open if the sofa is opened to a bed. When the bed is open you cannot access the room from outside and you can not exit the room. The specification brochure shows that the door is supposed to open out to eliminate the problem, however the door was installed incorrectly in all of the 2025 models. When contacting Forest River they are denying saying that the door was designed that way with an emergency window in the room. The room cannot be entered or exited if the bed is out with the door being this way. The 2026 models & 2027 models are installed correctly.
