2011page=2 Travel Trailer reviews

I've owned this trailer for 7 years. I've found the interior and exterior quality excellent. All the seams match, there is nothing loose. The cabinets are beautiful wood. The floors are solid and everything works well. Capacities of tanks are generous. There is 60 gallons for water, two large propane tanks, two batteries, and two 30 gallon or more capacity tanks for grey and black water. Over all, for this price range of trailer, I am impressed and very pleased with the workmanship and quality. I would buy this trailer again. Show less

This RV was built very well! Real cabinets! It’s perfect for family, camping, work, or to live in. For the price you get a lot! I highly recommend this RV as traveled the road with it for seven months, moved out of my house and into the RV for another three years. The RV did everything I needed and more! No slides on the RV to break, you just hook up and go! It’s the perfect length, getting into all of the RV parks with no reservation. And the amount of beds you get, is a killer deal! Show less

I bought my camper used approximately 8 years ago when it was 5 years old. We are happy with the layout of the camper and the quality of the cabinets, etc. We have had a couple issues that I am not sure if anyone else has experienced? 1). When we set up our camper we cannot perfectly level the camper while running the a/c without water dripping in the floor of the camper. If I slightly raise the side where the doors are (right side) the water will then run off the roof and down the gutter spouts. Not sure why it does this? 2) Last summer when driving home from a camping trip in late July the face of the radio fell out of the wall and was hanging by the wires. I had to just screw in back into the wall to hold it in place, but now the radio doesn’t work. 3). Carbon dioxide detector was chirping in non stop and so I had to cut the wires and put a movable carbon dioxide in the camper to be safe. Show less

First Lance makes excellent RV's that hold their value well. They are located in Southern CA so easy to get on the phone for any issues. This 1685 tow very easy with one of the lightest tongue weights per size available. The rear bathroom layout means a wide open floor plan. This is just an enjoyable RV and I have loved taki9ng it on trips or just to relative's house for a visit. You make a good guest when you stay in your own RV. Show less

We bought new and we thought a higher quality to prevent any kind of problems because we travelled so often. We wanted a reliable travel trailer. Unfortunately we’d have been better off buying used from someone. We got our new trailer and in the first day the lock to the door broke off in our hand. Then the cupboard door broke and fell off . As the months went by the number of things that went wrong we so many to list them here would take too long. Probably 30 things, everything from a cupboard falling off, to more serious things like the slide ( which was a super slide) not coming out, we had so many problems with this RV we truly wondered if they pulled people off the street to build it. Just a few things were the water tanks were never secured causing them to fall down. The heaters were never hooked up so heat didn’t come up from the vents, the sewer pipes never secured so they fell off while driving in Texas. The hot water tank never worked from day one. But the biggest was the slide, it would stop working so frequently it completely ruined so many trips because our slide would just stop making it so we couldn’t even use our RV. You can’t walk by if it doesn’t open . You can’t get to certain cupboards, can’t pull the bed out .. anyway we had it “fixed” so many times, but no one seemed to be able to and the reason we found out 10 years later was because the slide didn’t have certain important rollers installed from day one . Mandatory for the slide to glide on for proper operation “ in and out” so because they were not installed we had 10 years worth of problems with opening our slide, it’s sounded like it was screeching, it was so slow, at times wouldn’t come out at all, leaving us stranded without a livable trailer. So it was really hard on me I’m disabled, but I had to fix it by myself, removing the mechanism, having a machinist make 2 rollers because the company would not look into it wouldn’t accommodate me at this point, they felt we weren’t telling them the truth I guess because they just left us to deal with it eventually. For the first few years we were quite impressed with them, they fixed what they could and really came thru but as time went we became I’m sure quite a troublesome complaint to them as they couldn’t figure out why the slide never worked properly. So when we finally figured it out, fixed it and asked them to just compensate us for the parts we had to have specially made they declined to help. We have been thru so much with this RV wind river by outdoors rv I think it’s important to let people know . I bought this rv hoping my wife and I would have many happy trips and 80% of them were spent in rv repair shops and finally fixing it myself. Brand new is not always the best .. try used with all the kinks already worked out . Pros - this Company tried in the beginning Cons- Very disappointed in the end me having to fix and pay for it all.

We came into our Viewfinder….from a divorce settlement..it had been sitting for 3-3.5 years! We got a smoking deal, and went thru it top to bottom. Had to tighten a few cupboard screws, and I hated that I couldn’t access the HW tank, so cut a clean hole with a small handle. The Awning is awesome, the slide is so good, the only thing I have been battling is a Thermal Fuse on the Dometic Fridge…it’s a buggar and has died twice at the most in opportune times. Yes the fender cracked…but it sat for for so long…easy fix..and not that expensive. With gas prices skyrocketing, we are taking a year off at a rented RV lot. Pumped to throw clothes and food into the car and head out!! Show less

We loved this floor plan for us. No kids. Double bad. Mote room in galley and storage. AC blows cold! 20 ft easy to tow and back store. Also to cover. See through storage compartment. Side outdoor access to propane for out door cooking. Outdoor stove attachment available. Chrome wheels a plus. Appliances still work after 11 years. Show less

Have owned this for over 5 years. Tows well and has very good brakes. Repairs and maintenanced have been minimal. This model has the 4 bunks and one slide out. The dining seats and couch both provide good seating. Storage is plenty inside and out. Nice to have 4 large outside storage doors. The trailer length is 33.5 feet and weighs around 5100 pounds.

Have had one of these RVs for years and it has held up great. It still looks like new. Everything still work's great, I have not had to replace anything except the microwave. It's a very comfortable camper and is well made. Show less
