Adventurer reviews

We love our camper with the professional install on our truck and the many extras the Colorado dealership did for us. This was the lightest self-contained camper on the market at the time. Our camper on our 2012 Tundra is at the maximum axle rating for our vehicle according to the dealership we bought it from, but way over the suggested bed weight. So with air shocks and heavy duty tires we were told it would be safe. We have had zero problems with the weight with over 80,000 miles of enjoying road trips all over the USA. Warranty with the company has been lacking from day 1. After about a month of ownership I noticed de-lamination on the exterior siding. The factory rep shrugged it off by saying “It was like that when you bought it”. There are more spots now after 11 years. My main complaint is the need to re-caulk the seams every 2 years, as the contraction and expansion splits the seals. Secondly the rear tie-down points are a bad location, as they actually pull the corner down and create the bottom metal seal to drop down and the siding pops out, creating a water leak. We have removed our back jacks and use the sturdy corner brackets as the anchor points for the tie-downs. We leave the front jacks on to be lowered, and keep the camper from rocking when moving around inside while camping. Show less

Lightweight camper that hauls well on a 2500 truck with a 6.5' box. Pros - Features a slide on the kitchen which makes for enough floor space for adults to pass each other. Has a bathroom with shower and toilet but no sink. Nice big single bowl kitchen sink which is roomy enough to wash dinner plates and pots. Ample overhead storage and 2 drawers with soft close in the kitchen. Comfortable dinette with a sturdy table and a overhead cabinet. Has 4 cu ft two way fridge which works well on propane. Fairly good quality construction. Cons - The bed is unfortunately a east/west configuration. Small closet. This unit does lack ample storage compared with comparable campers. Has a single 20 Lb propane tank which is a horizontal design which is expensive to replace. Battery is in a difficult place which requires removing the camper from the truck to access. No outside charge terminals or pre wired solar. No pre wiring for rear observation camera. Show less

What an awesome gem. We live in ours 7 months a year for business. We pull a trailer and needed something smaller than a class c, yet larger than a class B. A Bumper pull or 5TH Wheel was out of the question since we have to pull our business behind us. It has plenty of storage, queen size bed, dinette, 2 recliners, 2 TVs, full sized dry bath, full kitchen. This was the perfect solution for our needs. We have it on top of our Dodge Ram 3500 dually. It compacts well and is easy to haul down the road. The down sides: the air conditioning doesnt quite make it into the bedroom, but the fantastic fan pulls a good draw. And the city water hook up and black tank rinse is located on the wrong side, but it is an awesome unit. Show less

This is a great camper if you want to goo off-road and pull your toys or go to Florida for a couple weeks. We enjoy it cause you can leave the camper at the campground and you have the truck as transportation or to launch a boat at the ramp. It is comfortable and spacious and a excellent way to camp anywhere. Show less

Next interior quality and style. Fiberglass exterior is durable and atractive. Easy to haul, light weight construction. Features are convenient and well laid out. Bed is comfortable and spacious. All around great value. Show less

We have the 116 DS and love it! But buyer be aware.There are several issues; #1,the refrigerator does not work when the outside temperature climbs over 88 degrees, I've taken it in under warranty 5 times and apparently can't be rectified. I even had a RV refrigeration only Specialist work on it, I believe this is why Adventurer no longer makes this model. #2 This is one tall camper when sitting on a 4x4 dually, a lot of climbing stairs.#3 The batteries are junk,I replaced them with it lithium batteries ($1,800) and a solar panel and now I never need the generator except for the microwave Show less

I bought this Camper new and have enjoyed so many aspects of it. I sent an email to the manufacturer and got a quick reply from the production manager. He was very helpful. I have not had any issues with it and except for buying a fifth wheel I would keep it. Show less

We replaced our Excel 5th wheel with this unit because we are getting older and having it actually on the truck made it easier to drive. The unit, when the 3 slides are out, is unbelievably roomy. It has everything we had in the 5th wheel: full kitchen (we love to cook), dry enclosed bath, 2 TVs, all season climate control, queen bed and plenty of storage space. The quality is great, no major repairs or issues. We are sad to have to sell it, but my husband's vision has deteriorated and he can no longer drive it. Show less

This camper has been awesome - a few of the things that I would change is that it is a little dark with only one window up in the nose, I would recommend putting one on either side to lighten it up. Quality seems to hold up well though we did see that the screen door didn't fit flush and exposed a gap to the outside which we were able to fix. All in all a very nice camper. Show less

Manufacturer was not supportive with warranty issues. Correspondence was almost rude! Other than that, we love this camper! Nice size for also towing our boat. Nice layout and storage for a small truck camper. We have really enjoyed! Show less
