Fantastic model for large or extended families to enjoy. Sleeps 10! Our family of 5 plus 2 Grandparents plus 2 big dogs comfortably traveled across North America with ours and had 0 issues. Thanks to the slides, the kitchen feels super roomy (better than the galley kitchen of our house!) Love the 2nd fridge in the outdoor kitchen, loads of space in the bunkhouse for kids' clothes and toys. When our kids became teens we appreciated having a variety of sleeping options to accommodate their growing body sizes. The tiny upper bunk in the bunkhouse eventually became a storage shelf for pet birds, a Hepa filter during Covid, or backpacks. Also love the u shaped dinette with 2 IKEA folding chairs added, 10 can eat or play board games around the table. There is TONS of storage under the dinette seats; we popped out one faux wood end so that our dogs' water and food dishes were out of our walking path but still accessible to them. (Before driving we just put it back so stored cans etc don't roll loose.) Outdoor shower is wonderful for dogs too. Warrantee issues were handled adequately, though it took time. We consider this to be the best purchase of our marriage and would 100% do it again. Just took it for our final camping trip and used it as a hub to feed 42 cousins for a long weekend - what a blast we have had! Sad to be selling now that our kids are grown.

This thing has been nothing but a pain since day one. Constant water leaks . Constructed with the cheapest, flimsiest materials. Replacement parts are a nightmare to find and outrageous in price. If I had any idea of the shoddy workmanship and cheap construction I damn sure would never have bought it. Prime Time obviously doesn't care that it produces crap as long as they can sell it to unsuspecting customers. Never buy another product from them again.i wish there was a lemon law for RVs.

Beautiful camper - love the floor plan. Underpinning came apart one year after we purchased. When it was being repaired we discovered the reason that it was always cold in the master bedroom - the heat run ductwork was t ran all the way to the bedroom. Bluetooth stopped working 3 months after we brought it home. Now we have been trying to work with customer service on the warranty for the clear coat that is peeling off. Camper has a five year warranty with the Amortek warranty. We have been going back and forth with them to get the work done since July 2021. We finally have them agreed to take care of it me now they won’t respond now - been over a month. Very disappointed and will not purchase another camper from them.

I bought a one owner used 2014 Prime Time 295RST in October 2019 from General RV in Draper, Utah. I am actually very pleased with this purchase. The RV was in their shop and had full hookups at the time I did my final inspection. Their asking price was only slightly above the KBB price and I was able to negotiate to under slightly less. Afterward they replaced the 2014 manufacture year tires at no additional cost. I purchased the Andersen Ultimate hitch for towing, and when I showed up they installed the conversion on the king pin for me, at no cost. This RV was actually manufactured in late 2013, hence the 2014 model year. I had read that Prime Time, which was founded in 2009, had very good quality builds in the early years leading up to Forest River buying them out, and that quality has since declined. Our RV shows very good quality. Nothing separating, torn, or loose - inside or out. All of the 120v electrical outlets worked fine when tested. All of the running lights work fine. I did go through and replace everything with LED lights. All of the slides work properly and provide expansive space and storage. The automatic awning works well, but the fabric will need replacing at some point. I did an environmentally safe chlorine wash and used awning tape to repair some worn points. All propane tanks and connections work fine. All holding tanks work and drain well. All of the water and power hookups work well. I did a deep clean on the exterior grill which was heavily used (so we know this RV must have been well used) and it looked like new afterwards. The included mattress is comfortable and even more so after adding a 3" natural foam topper. The theater seating and fold out loveseat are both in great condition (almost like they were never used). The dining table and chairs are also in great condition. The stove, oven, microwave, sound bar and fireplace are all in great working condition. I did replace the TV with a smart TV. The stereo system and all interior/exterior speakers work. The water heater works great and provides hot water in about 30 minutes, it is aluminum so it doesn't need an anode. The toilet is porcelain and works well. The shower is adequately sized but there is no built in seat, so we bought a shower stool. All of the original window coverings are in like new condition and are day/night shades. The pass through storage is not as tall as some but very adequate for all our storage needs. The exterior looks like new, all except the decal at the top of the front end cap which is cracked and faded. That is a known issue but doesn't bother me enough to go have it painted, yet that is. The leaf springs are probably under rated for this 8700 lbs. dry weight 5th wheel. I noticed some sway when towing, so I took it to a shop and upgraded to 6-leaf springs with a 2" spacer block to raise the trailer about 3" total. This brought it closer in line with my Dodge 2500 that has a leveling kit. The auto-leveling system is questionable and will raise the tires off the ground while leveling. Not a real concern for me because I always manually level using the mode selections on the unit. The Dicor on the roof had some minor cracking so I resealed everything upon purchase. The roof covering was in excellent condition. There were no signs of any water leakage and there has been none since buying. The water pump went out after my purchase. It was working fine, then during a prep the next spring for a camping trip it quit. Purchased a newer and better pump but removing the old (and original pump) was a hassle because the pump is behind the pass through storage wall. And the water heater bypass and shutoff valves are behind the pump and even harder to reach. The Thermostat is not working correctly, as the AC never turns off at the desired temp setting. Not sure if the heat does the same. But both work fine when turned on. I do like the recessed ceiling vents and that the heat vents are all in the flooring. Not an issue this summer as most of our camping only required the vent fan or short periods of cooling/heating. I plan to replace it this coming spring. Our RV came with a frame welded tow hitch installed, and surmising that the previous owner was into towing I checked the frame and welds and found no issues. The underbelly covering was cut away where the hitch was welded, but I patched the cut out areas. The remainder of the underbelly skirt is in good condition. We have towed an Aluma trailer with Polaris touring ATV, weighing about 1300 lbs combined and have had no issues of any kind. I installed a battery cutoff switch at the positive lead before it goes into the camper wiring because the RV cutoff switch does not cutoff all power, such as the auto-jacks and bedroom stereo system. The original single battery box hung down below the front storage compartment through a cutout. I reconfigured with a dual battery box inside the compartment.

This RV makes living easy with the double refrigerator/freezer and the electric fireplace. The 2 leather recliners make relaxing in front of the large back window or tv viewing very enjoyable. Trailering this unit is steady with great balanced weight and just enough tongue weight for easy towing. The floor is well defined and makes eating inside or out perfect with a well set-up bathroom for easy showering or changing.

We had some minor issues when we got home from picking the Trailer up from our Dealer 110 miles away. I was nervous the first few times pulling this 36' trailer, but it was hardly noticeable (glad I had sold the 1/2 Ton Suburban and didn't buy the little sister- beware dealers will try to convince you that a 1/2 ton will tow anything-not!). We were hasty picking it up so they drove to our home to do the repair the following week. The Dinette Bed was out of adjustment and had to be modified for sleeping (very minor compared to horror stories for most makes). We have towed this trailer with our Chevy 3500 1 ton on average a couple of trips a year ~5,000 miles and found it to be a great towing trailer. We do a lot of dry camping and it has served us well for the last 6 years. The only regret is that the 318-BHS is too nice for a family that came from Tent camping our whole lives. Huge front Storage bay, large fridge plenty of Storage inside. It does take some finageling to get into some of the Prime camping spots with a Bumper Pull. I love the Outdoor Kitchen for Coffee and Bacon in the wee hours before the family gets up. With the 2 slides, there is mega room inside, our unit has a fireplace under the TV and it works great for a moderate heat source and ambience. The large awning outside is where I prefer to spend the evenings, the Outdoor Kitchen also serves as a great wet Bar, love the swing out BBQ on the back corner.

We have owned our avenger camper for about five years. I think this thing has been in the shop at least twice a year. The last time was for the A/C unit going out. I had the extended warranty but it only covers major appliances which the A/C is. It still cost me close to 400 dollars to change it out. It has been in the shop for water leaks and I still have a water leak in the same location. I will be putting it back in the shop as soon as I get back home. Also right about the time my one year bumper to bumper warranty expired I noticed the header beam over the slide out had shifted. The dealership quoted me a price of something like 1200 to 1500 to repair. I personally would not buy a prime time product again. I know our camper is not high end but if you pay over $20,000 for a product you would expect it to be quality and this camper is not. If you are in the market for a camper, choice wisely and read reviews. Just for the record, I am fairly aggressive when it comes to caring for our camper. I wash and condition the roof twice a year. I wash camper about every 3 moths regardless if we use it. I use black spray paint to touch up and rusty spot on under carriage areas. I was out tanks every time it goes out. I keep the A/C on during the summer to prevent high temps on inside of camper (We live in the south, it get hot). My wife and I are the only people to use the camper, our kids are grown. But regardless of the effort I still have put this thing in the shop a lot. Buyers be ware.
