2016page=2 Launch Ultra Lite Travel Trailer reviews

We’ve owned this RV for 9 years and have really enjoyed it. I even lived in it for 3 months during a transfer for a job. It’s small but very well set up. It’s perfect for a couple, but the sofa folds out to a bed and the dinette makes a small bed if you have company. The bathroom and shower are a nice size for a small RV. It’s easy to hook up and go for a weekend but we’ve also stayed for a couple of weeks comfortably. Show less

My family and I have loved each of our experiences with this camper. That being said, we're sad to let it go. We're only selling it because of our middle child's demanding baseball schedule and lack of use over the last few years. As a family of five, we found the floorplan accommodating, spacious and comfortable. The only challenge we found concerning livability was the sleeping area mattresses. However, we were able to overcome that issue with the purchase of 4" foam mattress toppers. Now the unit is just as comfortable as our beds at home. With the majority of our camping trips being between 2-4 days, we were pleasantly surprised at the livability of this camper... Especially regarding the usage of water and power. In that regard, propane was never an issue, even when heating the camper in the colder destination. That being said, it’s always a good idea to bring an extra tank or two if you can. Overall, the camper is extremely light, especially considering all of the creature comforts it's outfitted with. That coupled with purchasing a trailer hitch that included anti-sway stabilizing (sway bars), I can honestly say we never encountered any issues pulling this camper, even on the most challenging roads under the most challenging conditions. With the extra five inches of ground clearance included in the "Extreme" model, we found there was almost no terrain we couldn't access! Show less

We bought a 2016 StarCraft Launch 26RLS in January 2016. This is absolutely, without a doubt, the biggest piece of junky trash we have ever wasted money on. There were issues from day 1, starting with non-working awning lights that took 6 weeks to have fixed due to the dealership refusing service after the sale. It was a simple fix that shouldn’t have been overlooked to begin with. It seemed alright until the warranty ran out. After that, it was 1 problem after another. The DVD player quit working. The water connection was having to constantly be worked on due to leaks. The awning CAME OFF while my husband was driving down the road. As in, it ripped completely off, taking the rails & all. So much for the awning lights, right? The toilet leaked. A side window latch broke off. Water heater quit working. The side shelves on either side of the bed came loose & had to be fastened back up. The cabinet between the 2 chairs came apart & had to be fastened back together. The chairs themselves started peeling. Had to keep them covered to hide it. Did I mention the constant issues with leaks? Because the latest issue was when the bed collapsed. When my husband went underneath to see why this happened & how he could repair yet another problem with this trash, he found that the front wall (on the tow end) was a soggy mess. Apparently, it’s been leaking from the outside the entire time we owned this brand spanking new travel trailer. I was so excited to get this camper. And it’s been nothing but a major disappointment. They should be ashamed of this shoddy, pathetic workmanship. This was a complete & total waste of hard earned money. We will NEVER buy another one of their products. Show less

I bought a 2016 Viking bunkhouse off of a dealership in my local community. This had been previously purchased and only owned for about two weeks before the driver returned it because pulling a trailer scared them. So I bought it on consignment with absolutely nothing wrong with it. It was brand new. Not even seven years later and all of the factory welds have started to fail so I reached out to my local insurance adjuster and they said sorry that is a manufacturers defect from when the steel was poured into the frame. So then I reached out to this company asking if they could help in anyway as it seems pretty ridiculous that within seven years, all the welds would start failing. I sent them photos. I sent them a welders report And all sorts of stuff. In the beginning, they seem like they were going to help me out. But in the end they didn’t. They just pretty much said oh well sucks to be you and that’s it. No further communication. So I would never buy from this company or especially this model or namebrand or anything from this company as they don’t honour their work. I am a military family with two little girls and our entire summer is now blown because of the faulty workmanship that was sold to me. I can’t give a negative star, or I would. I highly recommend you take your money somewhere else because the quality sold by this company is garbage. Show less

Second season had to replace circuit board for fridge, 3rd season awning damper wearing out and retract frame miss aligns its stow bracket, fourth season slide out not extending but will retract, not impressed with a trailer you pay so much for and use maybe five times in a season and have to put up with so many problems, thankfully im mechanically in clined and am able to fix these problems myself , very disappointed in Keystones quality in parts Show less

The 2016 Crossroads ST290QB is a very nice travel trailer that is towable with any full size pickup or SUV at under 5,800 lbs. dry weight. The wide stance axels make it very stable while towing. LED lighting in and out make it dry camping friendly to conserve battery usage. The quad bunks in the bunkhouse at the rear of the trailer is great for kids and friends and the trifold sofa bed is great for visiting adults. The outside kitchen is nice with a small refrigerator to keep drinks cold so as not to need to go in and out of the trailer or need an extra cooler with ice. It also has a wash sink and 2 burner cooktop which are convenient. The power awning and tongue jack make setup a little quicker and easier. Show less

I thought I screwed up when I purchased this one. New out of the box, The converter didn't work. Ask why the fan never shut off on it at the dealership when we did the walkthrough and was told it was normal because camper hadn't been pugged in and the battery was charging up. It was still charging up a day later when the battery died from lack of charge. Had to give them the camper back for a week so they could order a new one under the warranty. So much for dealer prep and walk through. Wish I had bought the one from the guy who was selling his for a lot less than dealer prices. So much for dealer reliability. Anyway the refrigerator died 6 months later and then after 1 year the hot water heater sprung a leak. Good thing I gat an extended warranty. So the 1st year wasn't so good but after that we really didn't have any more issues. I use a mobile repair guy who charges less than a dealer (stealer) ship. He has taken care of my last 3 campers and I am very pleased with his work. I retired in 2021, bought a house on a lake in ARK. and sold the camper. My wife and I were full timers as I traveled for work a lot. We got a lot out of the lacrosse. she was on her 3rd set of tires when we sold her. After the 1st year it was one of the best campers we had. Show less

This camper is very user friendly. We have stayed 3 weeks in it and always felt comfortable. Towing the camper I recommend a 3/4 ton. The warranty has expired. We are very comfortable camping in this camper both in and off the grid however, we out here the garage with our new purchase. Show less

I live in my 8329ss with Diamond package full-time 2 years now. And I love it perfect floor plan for full-time living. Although now I do need to get a bigger truck perhaps a Dodge Ram 2500. No issues with this camper other than a few Staples are popping out of the trim Show less
