Really like my Sporttrek BUT there are a few issues. 1st off, the vinyl on the backs of the sofa cushions just deteriorated. This unit has never been kept outside (ALWAYS kept inside except when camping which has never been more than two weeks a year). #2 I have tried to reach customer service via phone or via email SEVERAL times through the years with various concerns or question and NOT once have they ever responded. Their COSTUMER SUPPORT SUCKS. As much as I like their TT, I would NEVER recommend this brand to anyone. Getting ready to sell and get a class C but it will NOT be VENTURE.

Bought this 220VBH June 2014. We have over 15,000 miles on it now. Shoty build quality by the English hating Amish. I am a Union Electrician and have all kinds of building experience.

Bought this 220VBH June 2014. We have over 15,000 miles on it now. Shoty build quality by the English hating Amish. I am a Union Electrician and have all kinds of building experience. Water leak rotted the floor under the front passenger side storage from holes not filled on that side trim edge at roof line. Water leaks around water pump and under bath sink. Interior falls apart around dinette. Slide bounces up into the AC unit destroying the valance Aside from that it was cheap, around $15K in 2014. This first year model is only rated for 5,200lbs. GVW has 2.8K axles and the 3.5K brakes. I run it loaded with a CAT scaled traveling weight of about 5,800lbs. 700lbs. of this is hitch weight. About 5,100lbs on the axles. I've worn out the spring shackles and installed EZ Flex. I fix and maintain this TT. I have installed a custom Solar system of my own design 470 watts (300W on roof), 3,500W + 1,200W pure sine wave inverters, 320ah LiFePo4 battery/120ah AGM on tongue , auto XFR switch.... Boondock ready. Don't buy if you can not service it yourself!!! I have no experience with any factory warranty or dealer service scams.

My first travel trailer purchase. Traveled a day's journey from Tennessee to save $4000. NEGATIVES - Year 1 problems were: missing bolt in spring shackle, major delamination of rear wall due to leaking clearance lights, fender liner came loose, back of dining booth seat came apart, interior LED lights caused major RFI preventing watching broadcast TV. Later years: outside speakers not working well, axle/bearing problems on one wheel, more chassis rust than expected. Worried about resale/trade-in in the future. Never got help from MFG on delamination, just lived with it and recaulked the clearance lights myself. POSITIVES - Love the layout for two persons. Like the general appearance. Pleased with my Andersen hitch and easy pull with 5.7 Hemi Ram 2500. Trailer kept under a shelter when not on the road.

I really don't know my model, I looked all over that camper. I tried to replace my outside shower faucet. I needed to remove 10 screws and pull the mounting box out. it would not move out more than a 1/2 inch. Needed at least 6 inches to get it out to remove the faucet. I called venture help desk and was told to leave a message. Upset because I cant hook up water until I get it replaced. No call back 4 hours later. I tore the closet apart and found the problem. When built there was no slack put into the water hoses. I tore some other stuff out trying to get slack in hoses. No good. The water hoses are fiddle string tight. Venture probably save $3 on water hose. I had to stand on my head and disconnect the faucet from the inside of the closet, hook back up the same way. Otherwise I like my sonic.

30 ft Toy Hauler towed with a F-150 FX2 8 cylinder with no problem. Up and down the mountains; granted we down shift to 4th gear while going up the mountains. Double axle tows great on the Hwy and back up straight. Plenty compliments while hauling the Harley or dirt bikes. Separate garage keeps exhaust and dirt out of the living area. ***Number one greatness is the warranty they stand behind with no HASSLE.*****
