California Forest River RV Lemon Law Attorneys
Owning a Forest River RV is supposed to feel like freedom—road trips, national parks, cozy campfires, and living your best #RVLife. But if your Forest River has spent more time at the dealership than at the campground, you might be wondering if your home-on-wheels is actually a rolling lemon grove.
Whether it’s slides that won’t slide, AC that only works when it’s 65° outside, electrical systems with a sense of humor, or a water leak that turns your RV into a mobile rainforest, California’s Lemon Law may have your back.
And here’s the good news: under California law, Forest River has to pay your attorney’s fees—not you.
RV Trouble? Lemon Law Can Help
Forest River RVs are known for variety, comfort, and accessible design, but when your motorhome keeps returning to the service center, the experience can quickly shift from enjoyable to stressful. From electrical or plumbing issues to slide out failures, leaks, or recurring warnings, even newer models can develop persistent problems that interrupt your trips and peace of mind.
The good news is that under California’s Lemon Law, you may qualify for a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement if your Forest River RV cannot be properly repaired after repeated attempts. And since the manufacturer covers your legal fees, our attorneys can handle the entire process at no cost to you.
Clients often call us with issues like:
- Slide-outs that get stuck halfway
- Water intrusion & roof leaks
- Electrical shorts or total power failure
- AC or furnace systems that give up during extreme weather
- Appliances that work… only when they want to
- Alignment, suspension, and axle issues
- Plumbing leaks
- Frames or walls separating (yes, seriously)
If your Forest River has repeated defects that the dealer just can’t—or won’t—fix, you may qualify for a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.
How California Lemon Law Works for Forest River RVs
California’s Lemon Law applies to motorhomes and towable RVs (including travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers), and you don’t need a million repairs to qualify.
You may have a strong RV lemon law case if:
You’ve brought your Forest River in for multiple repair visits for the same problems
It’s been out of service for 3+ months
If that sounds familiar, you may be entitled to compensation!
What You May Be Entitled To
Depending on your case, Forest River may owe you:
A Full Buyback
This includes reimbursement for:
- Down payment
- Monthly payments
- Registration
- Payoff of your RV
- PLUS attorney’s fees paid directly by Forest River
- A Replacement RV: A substantially similar RV to what you have.
- A Cash Settlement (“Cash and Keep”): You keep the RV and get compensated for the trouble.
- Civil Penalties: Up to 2x your actual damages if Forest River willfully violated the law.
Act Fast — the Law Recently Changed!
In 2025, California’s lemon law changed significantly, and many RV owners are now losing their rights by waiting too long to act.
Your statute of limitations (aka the deadline to start a claim) is one year after your warranty expires — and with Forest River warranties often only one year, you must act fast before your right to file expires.
Do not wait until the next repair — by then, it may be too late.
