RV reviews

Would I buy it again? Mixed, but lean towards no! I’ve owned a Winnebago Travato since July 2023. Overall, it’s been a good van in terms of layout and concept, but ownership has come with more friction than I expected—especially once the warranty period ended. WHAT'S GOOD! The layout is excellent. It’s one of the best-designed van interiors out there, and the lithium battery system in place of a generator is a big win. Quiet, efficient, and well-suited for how many people actually use these vans. When things work, the Travato is comfortable, functional, and easy to live with. Early ownership experience: The first year to year-and-a-half involved several issues, which is fairly typical for RVs. Warranty work was handled by NIRV in Las Vegas and, to their credit, they typically did a solid job addressing problems that came up. That said, it was still a fair amount of downtime and coordination during what should be the “honeymoon” period. Manufacturer support (the real issue): Winnebago’s responsiveness has been very slow, and once the warranty expired, support became almost non-existent. Parts availability and clear guidance are a real problem. Requests often go unanswered or lead nowhere, and there’s very little ownership support once you’re out of warranty. Chassis / RAM dealer warning: Be aware that many RAM dealers are reluctant to perform warranty work on the vehicle side. Several dealers consider the van “altered” once Winnebago has done their conversion, which can lead to denied or delayed service even for legitimate chassis-related issues. This can be frustrating and time-consuming. **Important warning about windows / parts support: One major concern prospective buyers should know about: a factory-installed side window failed on my van after about three years. I discovered that both Winnebago and the window manufacturer no longer supply replacement parts for that window. The only manufacturer-supported solution is a full window replacement, which is extremely expensive—even though the window itself is otherwise fine and only small components failed. There is no clear interim safety guidance and no reasonable repair path using original parts. This is a serious planning and support failure, and something buyers should factor in, especially given the cost of the vehicle. Bottom line... the Travato is a well-designed van with a great layout and modern electrical system, but ownership requires patience and a tolerance for poor post-warranty support. If you’re comfortable handling issues yourself, navigating parts shortages, and advocating hard for service, it can still be a good rig. If you expect strong manufacturer backing long-term, be cautious and go in with eyes open. Show less

We have thoroughly enjoyed this RV and the lifestyle it provides. With four slide outs and two air conditioner units, it is prepared for any life experiences you may have for it. Featuring bunkbeds, it is uniquely suited for a large family or can double as extra closet space when not needed for the kids. It has been meticously maintained, with yearly visits to Tiffin headquarters in Red Bay Alabama. New upholstery throughout, with steel wheels and new tires. From sea to shining sea, this is the RV!

You would think that for the price paid you would get quality interior. The couch is fake leather which in all units, PEALS!! Unreal to have such cheap furniture that doesn't hold up. Will for sure NEVER buy Thor again. The cabinets are cheap as well, c'mon - surely for what we have to pay you can do better. Show less

We like the layout it is roomy . Large refrigerator. Nice walk in shower. The one complaint and it’s a BIG ONE. The furniture is peeling. We have no pets and no children. Jus ourselves. We are very meticulous on caring for our RV. It is on a leased lot and we haves used it 3 months 2023 & 2024, The headrest and armrest are peeling. We are very disappointed in this lack of quality. I think we are beyond our warranty l hope l can add pictures with this review . Show less

I bought this travel trailer new in 2015 and i have tried to camp with it but its has always been a nightmare. . The manufacturing of this travel trailer is of the poorest quality.from day 1 , all but one window leaked during the rain . I have had this junk worked on several times but still even today the windows still leak. The floors and walls on the bottom have rotten out . I received no help from the people who made this junk ,after I became what they called a problem customer. They i ignored me and stuck me with this forty thousand dollar junk. The very first time I tried to use the waterpump it did not work . Had to cancel trip . I argued with the manufacturers 3 and days to get the same new water pump and they wouldn't . I check into a hotel room. Do not buy a puma travel trailer. After the first year the floor in the main slide out rotted out from windows leaking trew the walls . The\nManufacturers would do nothing about that and would not revert me for the labor or cost of the materials to repair their junk.dont not buy a puma travel trailer. Show less

This might be worth a read. Beware! I think I should share out experience buying our Leisure Travel Van. We first saw this Unit 4 years ago at and RV show and we loved it. Purchased this unit in Ontario Canada and moved to Newfoundland Canada. Once our motor home was delivered to the dealer I flew to Ontario to bring out Van home. When I arrived at the dealership I noticed that the side of the van had a paint run. The sun highlighted the defect. I was provided with a quick demonstration. When I asked questions about the mechanical components I was instructed to read the manufactures recommendations!? Also was told there is a fee if I need to revisit the orientation at some point. If you read some reviews several Leisurer Travel Van Owners have had 4 hour demostrations with a NO fee follow up to go over any questions the owners may have. In summary , paint defect, sub standard demo for a unit that cost About $ 300 000 plus, based on options. Offered a me a follow up for a fee! Interesting. I put my faith in the dealership. Their ( Reviews are mixed) I went over every thing they offered in their demo. The young lady that did the walkabout with me, took a picture of the paint issue and I have asked twice that she send a picuture to us. Presenlty I have not had anything sent to me. Once I told the dealership that I am returning to Newfoundland with my new motor home, they told me that since I am no longer living in the area, I will have to reach out to the closest dealer to me. For us, this dealer in Nova Scotia. Depending on season ,this could be either a 12 0r 7 hour ferry ride & then an 6-8 hour drive. The dealer we purchasded from expressed that this is Leisure Travel Vans policy. I had little chance to protest , they were firm on this policy..... I have reached out to the Dealership in Nova Scotia several times to inquirer about some wiring . They responded ONCE. This is important to know! Once I returned home I was reviewing all the features of the unit. The generator was malfunctioning. I forwared a picture to RVMP - manufacture. They surprisingly indicated a problem with propane generator so quickly & I have recieved the new part.... I have been looking for someone that can do the repair on my new generator. After 3 weeks of phone calls and e mails. NO luck. RVMP only offered a few places to look. Companies they could simply get out of a Google search. They did not find us a repair shop. RVMP has a phone # you can call. Leave a voice message. They might get back to, they might not. Most my emails have had a friendly response, but little action. I managed to find a retired RV tech that would take on this job. This contact was from someone in the area. Further I found one of the remote switched in the bedroom was not working . 2 faults indicated for propane and fresh water. I am not even using the RV, So I contacted Leisure Travel Van directly ( Service & Warranty). They forwarded me a new switch and contacted RVMP - generator manufacture to get things moving. I did contact Sicards RV In Smithville Ont. Regarding all the issues. The only person that has contacted me was the salesman. He was upset about the honest review I posted with the Leisure Travel Vans site and how will this look to his supervisors? He did not ask about our repairs. You have to wonder?? BEFORE YOU BUY: Ask about the repairs while traveling. Is there a repair shop in your city or one near buy. Not just the generator , but all the equipment LTV does not cover! Ask about what will be demonstrated the day you pick up your unit. Go over all your paper work carefully. Slow it down. We like the LTV Brand, however, support from your dealership might not be there. We believe, our dealer couldn't care in least! Our buying exeperince went from anticaption and excitement to a $300 000 Regret... WE hope this may help in some way. Show less

Very disappointed in this trailer. While it has some good points like combined Microwave, Air Fryer, Oven, the build quality leaves a lot to be desired. Dinette cushion foam is weak 130 lb adult flattens it. Oriented strand board used under bed and dinette seats has rough unfinished edges a real finger shredder.Instant hot water heater installed at very front of unit resulting in having to run the hot water faucets and shower for a long time before getting hot water through. Cabinet installation shows lack of quality control. Soap dispenser installed to far from sink and drape hold downs incorrectly installed. The on board thermostat is useless reading up to 20 degrees higher than the actual temperature. Finally still searching for a way to access the rear view camera without a smart phone. Should never have bought this unit. Show less

I have enjoyed my FR Surveyor 252RBLE thoroughly. The layout works well for me. Some tweaks will have to be made, but over all a winner on all counts. The cabinet door handles have sharp edges, not dangerous but definitely will nick your shins, especially the ones under the dinette, I’ll replace them this winter. The AC is loud, with recent products that are quieter and more efficient, I’ll upgrade that. The thermostat isn’t accurate, and I’ll upgrade that as well. I upgraded the mattress, but that seems to be a standard upgrade in the RV world anyway. The layout is GREAT! I can access the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen with the slide in, no problem at all. The rear facing recliner chairs have a great set up to relax. Plenty of counter space, and efficient storage in the kitchen area. The hanging closet and storage in the bathroom are great too, especially in addition to the already well designed bedroom storage. The vacuum is load, but works VERY well, and helps maintain a tidy space. The pantry storage area is huge, and in the exact right place. The outdoor ‘kitchen’ area is great, with a propane line and water all in one area. I did some updates out there, as I won’t use the small fridge, so I added an ice maker, and a ninja oven / air fryer thing. I haven’t had any issues towing, but I’m not an experienced RV-er yet, more to follow! Show less

We bought our last rv brand new on 6/8/2019 from Richardson’s RV (now Camping World) this rv was built by Forest River in Indiana we love the rv up until this past November when on a camping trip the roof started leaking and on the way home an aprox 45 mile journey the entire roof membrane began to come off I drove surface streets home the rv has been at camping world rv service in Riverside CA since November 10 2025 camping world quoted $9500 to replace which includes an 8 year warranty my question was why doesn’t this rv have an 8 year warranty on existing roof being its not even 7 years old? After almost two months now both Forest River and Dicor (the ones that installed the factory roof) say they can’t honor warranty due to wind damage????the roof leaked and the best argument they can come up with is “wind damage”!im in communication with an attorney and I would strongly recommend to anyone looking to purchase an rv to steer clear of Forest River they don’t care about you or your business Dicor is a joke BUYER BEWARE take your money and business to another rv company Show less

So glad there is now a Scamp Phoenix location. Same friendly helpful service with a store and a showroom. Got repair done quickly and we’re on our way. It’s conveniently located right off 101 near the State Farm Stadium in the west valley. They also have sweatshirts and shirts. The small parts and accessories you may be looking for. Show less
