2022 Riverside RV Travel Trailer reviews

We have a 2023 Riverside Retro 13.5. We bought the camper new. We sized down to a small camper so we could tow with our Jeep Wrangler. The camper has not had any problems and we have had dozens of trips in it. It was one of the few campers at this size that checked all the boxes. We love the full size fridge and dry bath. We have the Elite and like the ADZELL siding too. My biggest complaint is the awning. It works fine but the arms are very low. Coming from the rear door, it is very easy to bang your head on the low arms and we have a lot. The only other complaint is the upholstery on the sofa is very delicate. I keep a futon cover on it because we take our pups and this has kept it damage free. We feel for the price point, amenities and tow ability the camper has been a good value. Show less

Don’t buy a Venture Rv (KZ Brand trailer)! Spent $65,000 on a Sporttrek, and it’s the quality of my child’s fisher price toys. Horrible customer service, they don’t warranty or stand behind their products. They installed a window incorrectly in my master bedroom, causing water to seep into the Rv over time going unnoticed since it was hidden. They’ve told me to kick rocks and too bad so sad. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Give any other company your money. Show less

Great RV for the money .Lots of room and storage .Luxury style .The only problem we had was the Coleman heat pump did not cool the best so we added a second unit. Pulls like it isn't even there .I don't even use sway bars . Love the 12volt option on the 10 cu.ft. refridgerater .no longer have to pack coolers. love the king size bed and large bathroom and shower. Show less

Since I purchased my Sonic I’m very impressed with the layout, craftsmanship , lots of standard equipment that other pull trailers do not have. Tows great behind my 2022 Toyota 4Runner. The dealership was friendly fast and efficient and always wanting to help and answer all my questions. Very pleased and highly recommend . Stephen Show less

We chose this KZ Escape due to it's open floorplan. Two years later we are still discovering issues since buying it brand new in 2022. Plumbing around toilet and water tank had to be tightened to avoid leaking the first week. All window shades had to be reattached due to poor installation. The slide out has had multiple retraction issues. The motors have to be overridden and the slide out manually pushed in/out. In addition it was discovered that a manufacturers shop rag had been left in the seal on top of the slide causing the slide to leak when it rains. Just this week (March 2024) we wondered why the dining table looked warped. Turns out the adhesive used to cover the table with "wallpaper" has failed. The entire table wallpaper comes off now. Let's not forget last year when the family was out of town except one. He just happened to go outside and saw that the battery had caught fire. Thankfully he was able to remove the propane tank before it exploded causing the rv to burn to the ground. This is just a small list of issues on top of the lack of customer service on every end concerning our RV. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER KZ RV. Show less

I guess I will make lemonaid... Drove from kc to Dallas to get the last one I could find new so I would not have to work on somthing that's new..the caulk they used didn't set up on the roof..some steel screws not sealed at all.one roof vent top is caulked one not. First time climbing down the Lippert base came off as 4 -5/8 penitration screws didn't hold..2 screws had sealant for screws 2 still had paper on it so they were not sealed. The gutter spouts are really weak so add more caulk. The trim inside is terrible in spots.one cabinet door is 3/4 inch lower than the other so not only crooked the door doesn't seal when shut.the u shape dining seat trim is 1/4 short so it caught my pants. It pulled ok with3/4 ton.when I got home one chair was in the kitchen. Again 1 -5/8 screw was torn out of the floor..one small screw to hold down a recliner. I got alot of pictures .I'm a member of holiday ramblers and we will do alot of talking about Twilight. Show less

We have owned this unit for a month. Our first outing we learned that there is no gravity fill available. I suppose that is our problem for not noticing this. Subsequent trips we discovered a tear in the couch, the shower strip coming apart, the kitchen drawers misaligned and opening during travel, fridge leaking, door out of square, closet door is warped, dining table broke upon first use, the bathroom sink counter area buckling, screws missing on the exterior metal strips, the battery didn’t work and no reset switch. But, the worst thing was thst the window by the bed was leaking badly. We purchased this in August 2023 brand new but its a 2022 so the window must have been leaking for 2 years. Dealership is telling us that they know there has been leaking because of evidence of water damage but its dry NOW. We asked for our money back. Dearler contacted the manufacturer and we are getting nowhere. We are concerned that there is mold or structural damage but nothing is being done to address this issue. Do not purchase from Highland Ridge! Show less

We purchased a new Retro Rv camper from a dealer in Ohio. I have to say this is the cheapest, lowest quality camper I have ever seen. Here is just a brief list of problems with our brand new camper. ( Several areas of the roof and trim were missing sealant, so not sure what kind of water damage has occurred. Missing and poor trim installation on inside. Table is not secure when in up position, cushions do not fit when table is down for secondary bed. Shower pan installed on the outside of the shower walls. Mounting brackets for vent cover on roof installed in wrong place. Wall paneling loose, and causing joint tape to bubble. Exterior door frame not sealed, can see outside / daylight from inside.). Poor design on location of dining and bedroom windows on awning side. Not allowing for a larger awning. Show less

It was great till the black tank fell out. The led strip on the awning stopped working. all the ceiling fan burned out not only twice but three times. No one knows why. the dealer told us because it was not mechanical it was not covered under warrantee . I'm sure that this will be the last TT i will own It now sits in a junk yard. Show less
