Anyone have easy access to the measurements of the washer/drier closet? Sent from my iPad using Forest River Forums

I've read about past quality issues with the Columbus line (though nothing like Keystone and others); realizing, of course, that no RV is defect free, and it seems like Forrest River made improvements to the entire line as a result. I was wondering if the newer rigs have, indeed, improved...

Well ran my heater and the duct that goes to the garage heater vent was sucking air instead of blowing air. I found a Wye duct fitting FR tapped off of to run to the garage was causing a venturi affect making the vent suck air. I Modified the Wye duct fitting so now it blows air. My bedroom vent...

Wife and I are planning our retirement, and are looking at RL floorplans. We've seen some pretty high end stuff (Landmark, Lifestyle, Pinnacle, Redwood, New Horizons). All are very nice, and except the Jayco, well over 100k. The Columbus is as the lowest end, and seems to offer more for the...

I am about to order a Columbus 385BH. I have been researching this unit for a year and thanks to this forum was able to decide what options were best for us and which we don't need. I have 2 concerns that hopefully I can get suggestions on. First, in the kitchen there isn't much storage space...

Stopped at my dealer today to check on the status of my HG 5th wheel warranty work and while waiting to talk to my service rep I was chatting with a guy who just brought in his columbus 5th with a letter from Forest River about bringing in to dealer to get brakes checked if experiencing reduced...
