Thoughts on 2018 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 201BHXL

[tyler811]

For years we used a pop up that suited us well but last year we bought a 16 FT Extreme travel trailer and made some modifications to it.

After one summer we realized it was still kinda small, as in a wet shower/toilet, so we are looking at new ones.

Came across the 2018 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite 201BHXL with a few options like electric stabilizer jacks (4) and tongue jack. A lot of features we like like a sink in the bathroom. 🙂

Anyway I was wondering about the build quality of the Forest River Salem Cruise Lite series. I have been reading a few that are quite hard on the built quality.

Would anyone have one or had one or know someone who has/had one?

Thank you all for the input, we have decided to pull the trigger and we pick up it tomorrow.

We bought a Salem Cruise Lite 171RBxl last year, and have been very happy with it so far.

If you like floor plan go for it. Even as a new unit inspect every inch of it. Roof caulking one.

I have a 2015 cruise lite 261bhxl, bought new in late 2014 we have had very good luck with it so far

You're good on the quality for the Cruise Lite, you can find higher quality or lesser quality of build, but this is a pretty good value for their fit and finish and power jacks, and I like that it has the hard siding, I see and hear stories about the laminates. Best of luck, and we call those shower/toilet combos "Shampoo's" 🙂
