What's wrong?
The 12V wiring on the 2025 Forest River Campsite Reserve powers low-voltage trailer equipment through the solar controller. A solar controller manages charging from the solar panel system and sends power into the trailer's battery and electrical circuits. The mini-breaker is the protective device that interrupts current when the circuit draws too much power.
On affected trailers, the solar controller wiring was routed incorrectly during manufacturing. The wiring was connected without over current circuit protection, so the circuit was not placed on the breaker side of the mini-breaker. Forest River's repair routes the wiring to the breaker side so that excess current protection is in the circuit.
There is no warning sign before failure. The wiring problem is inside the 12V electrical routing, so an owner should not expect a noise, light, smell, or handling change that confirms the defect.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Forest River Campsite Reserve is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free solar-controller power-wire repair that adds over-current circuit protection.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it. If not, reference recall number 25V287 when you call.
- Avoid using the solar charging system until the dealer rewires the controller power wire, because unprotected wiring can short circuit and raise fire risk.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician rewires the solar controller power wire so the circuit is set up with the correct protection. The recall repair is free, and the trailer still needs to be inspected or repaired even if you already paid for related work. Forest River offers refunds for paid repairs that are within the scope of this defect. Send the service invoice to Campsite Reservice at the address listed in the recall notice so Forest River can review the claim.
