Used Forest River RVs for Sale: Prices, Models & 2026 Values
Forest River was founded in Elkhart, Indiana in 1996 by Pete Liegl and has been a Berkshire Hathaway company since 2005. Together with Thor it accounts for the majority of the RVs built in America, and it does that through dozens of semi-independent plants and brand names rather than one product line — which is why a 'Forest River' listing might be a $12,000 Cherokee bunkhouse or a six-figure Berkshire diesel pusher.
That structure matters when you shop used. The division that built the rig sets its quality, not the Forest River badge on the tongue. Rockwood and Flagstaff are sister lines built to a higher spec (aluminum framing, better tires, torsion axles on many floorplans); Wildwood and Salem are the volume-priced sisters; Cherokee sits between them and is the most common Forest River trailer on the used market by a wide margin.

What Forest River is known for
- The largest range of floorplans in the industry — bunkhouses, rear kitchens, toy haulers, destination trailers — at every price point
- Sister brands built in the same plant to the same spec (Rockwood/Flagstaff, Wildwood/Salem) that let you shop by dealer rather than by name
- Huge dealer network, so parts, warranty transfer and service are never far away
- Motorhome lines (Forester, Sunseeker, Georgetown, Berkshire) that share chassis with the best-known competitors

Wildwood / Salem travel trailers
$9,000–$35,000 usedEntry-level sisters with conventional wood framing and aluminum siding on many floorplans. Cheap to buy, cheap to fix — inspect the roof and floor carefully.
Puma, Vibe & Surveyor travel trailers
$15,000–$50,000 usedMid-range lines from the Palomino and Vibe divisions. Modern interiors, solid-surface counters and larger tanks; late-model examples compete directly with Grand Design Imagine.
Forester / Sunseeker (Class C) and Georgetown (Class A)
$45,000–$130,000 usedFord and Chevrolet chassis motorhomes sold through the same dealers. Mileage, generator hours and roof condition move these far more than the badge.
Ranges are typical asking prices for privately sold and dealer-listed rigs in the U.S.; condition, mileage, and floorplan move prices substantially. For live median asking prices by brand, class, and model year, see how much is my RV worth in 2026.

View detailsBuying a used Forest River: what to check
- Identify the division first (it is on the data plate and the front cap): a Rockwood and a Wildwood of the same length are different trailers at different prices
- Walk the roof or ask for photos of every seam — Forest River's budget lines use EPDM or TPO membranes that need resealing every few years
- Check the axle and tire ratings against the loaded weight; many budget floorplans ship close to their limits and the original tires are the first thing owners replace
- Ask whether the trailer was a rental or a full-timer; the volume lines are popular with both, and wear shows in the cabinetry and slide seals before it shows in the price
