Highland Ridge RV Mesa Ridgepage=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2page=2 reviews

Pros: The floor plan is why I love it. It has that long couch with plenty of seating for a large family and sleeps 4 in back with a small dinette for them to play board games or do school work or play Legos. Plenty of indoor storage. 4 season. Cons: #1 - it tows TERRIBLE despite sway bars and repositioning cargo. Cracking a window was only thing that made negligible difference. No cross breeze in bedroom, I have now learned that I will never choose another RV of any sort without cross ventilation in the bedrooms. Couch material is subpar and quickly deteriorates. Only one outdoor storage. Fridge is 12V so not a good boondocking camper. LED lights on awning quickly went out. Outdoor kitchen, to use it, you need a stepstool. Grill being on opposite end of kitchen is a pain. Batteries run fridge and lights but not any outlets so boondocking again, not a thing if you need like a cpap machine unless you get a power bank or generator of sorts. We have enjoyed it despite any cons. Show less

So, I purchased this trailer in August of 2021. It was absolutely what my wife and I were looking for. The floor plan was perfect! After about three years we noticed a hump on the floor near the slide. After some investigation, we found that the elbow on the outdoor shower was leaking. I fixed it myself and forgot about it. In 2025, the floor got much worse. After pealing the whole living room floor back, I found that it was ruined. Please note that I found this two months after the warranty ran out…. So I reluctantly replaced the floor myself. It took two months to dry out as it was very extensive. After completion I was very happy with the work I put into it. That is until now… it is now 2026. I just found it is still leaking near and around the slide. $40,000 for a pile of junk??? I have had many rv’s. Including trailers, motorhomes and campers. This, by far, is the WORSt tv I have ever purchased, new or used. Show less

I purchased my 2019 Highland Ridge RV Mesa Ridge Lite MR2802BH brand new from the dealership, and I specifically sought out this floor plan after doing a lot of research. As someone who was actively competing in triathlons and frequently traveling from city to city, I needed something comfortable, practical, and family-friendly. Hotels quickly got expensive and didn’t always offer the flexibility or convenience I needed, this trailer was the perfect solution. What immediately drew me to this model was the floor plan. It has two full-size bunks and a dinette that converts into a bed, which made it ideal for traveling with kids. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep without feeling cramped. One of my favorite features is the two exterior doors. The main entry and a separate door that leads directly into the bathroom were a game-changer. If you're familiar with the triathlon lifestyle, you know mornings start early with training sessions and prep work. Having that secondary bathroom door meant I could come back and clean up without waking the kids who were still asleep inside. There’s also an outdoor shower, nothing fancy, but incredibly useful. I could rinse off after a run, bike, or swim without dragging sweat and gear through the trailer. Combine that with the outdoor kitchen and mini fridge, and it created a great setup where I didn’t even need to go inside unless I had to. Everything I needed was right there outside. From a towing standpoint, this trailer is considered lightweight. It tows at a dry weight of 5765 lbs and tracks really well. I had no issues hauling it between events or campgrounds. The thermal package also helped maintain a comfortable interior temperature whether we were dealing with summer heat or chilly mornings. Overall, the Mesa Ridge Lite MR2802BH checked every box for me. It’s functional, well-designed, and thoughtfully laid out for anyone who travels with kids or lives a more active, on-the-go lifestyle. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for something versatile, family-friendly, and easy to manage on the road. Show less

Have used this RV for 3.5 years. It is spacious with higher ceilings for taller people. .There have been no problems with this RV and it’s very comfortable to stay in with very low maintenance needed. Plenty of storage throughout the inside and outside. The floor plan is ideal for privacy between the bedroom and family room and functions quite well. Truly a home away from home. Show less

Bought a brand-new Highland Ridge Mesa Ridge 5th wheel 1 year ago. at Camping World San Diego. Black tank handles broke, spongy floor issues persist. Poor quality for the price. Disappointed with durability and craftsmanship in such a short time. Wouldn’t recommend. Show less

We love this RV. Lots of room for the whole family, plenty of storage in the kitchen pantry, residential fridge and excellent living room area. Easy to set up and tow, and over all just a fantastic RV. Defintely would buy another Highland Ridge. Show less

The size, floorplan, colors, weight were the attraction. We like the chaise lounge option and not having a table in a "fixed location." We have spent over 65 nights in it and towed over 8,000 miles so far. Adequate storage. Bath & shower are just fine. We replaced the mattress day 1. Has attracted admiration of other campers, but unfortunately we can't recommend it. Functionally, it's been a disaster. Initially heater failed to reach any set temp due to a poorly engineered factory installation (heater itself worked). Neither dealer nor factory had an answer, we ended up re-engineering and correcting the installation ourselves (long story), solved, painfully (months), hence 1 star ratings. Electronic thermostat (controls both AC & Heat) not sensitive enough. Both heat and A/C very noisy, cannot correct. Refrigerator (NorCold) failed twice, first control panel, then cooling unit, awaiting another warranty repair. Ongoing problem from day 1 that has interrupted many outings. No provision for gravity fill of fresh water tank, can't prefill tank (water lost through vent tube) and they don't want you to carry water in tank while towing (claim brackets can't support the weight). This requires a lot of planning as many campgrounds in the west don't have pressurized water readily available. Cheapo bath vent fan, really, to be replaced eventually. Sound bar (inside), speakers (outside) not very good quality sound. TV has worked fine. Shower door fell apart but was repaired on the road. Structurally the unit has remained intact, no leaks. Black aluminum skirting had heat related expansion buckle on right side, several screws lost on both sides. Slide out still works but you have to be careful with movement end points. Show less

I email Highland Ridge on numerus times only have one reply from them over the 4 years I have bought their product, after i bought my RV. I email them on 2/10/23 and I haven't heard back from them. I received a pop up i would heard back from them in 72 hours. As of now, it been close to 100 hour. I am having issue with my led lights inside and i emailed them how to fix the issue. this is a safety concern of some one could getting hurt for imporoper lighting operation. I would not recommend buying an RV from Highland Ridge Customer Service rates 1-10 they would rate 0. Very poor customer service. Returning customers what keep company in business. I am planning on buying another new Fifth wheel this year and it will not be a Highland Ridge Product because they don't take care of their existing customers. Stay away do not buy Hightland Ridge.

We have had our 314 for a little over a year and have had several issues that the dealer claims not to have seen. Now I am stuck with a piece of junk that cost me 86000. Big mistake on my part. It’s worth less than half after one year. Buy a better established manufacturer. Show less

We like the way the 2021 5th wheel looks but that's where its stops. we took devilry of the trailer and it rode nose high causing the red end to drag in many driveways. no fix they said at deal. the water hear leaks, the slides work out 50% of the time, the flooring is coming up on the slide. the decals are peeling up, the fit and finish in alll RVs is less than what you would call good, but our Mesa Ridge is beyond that. much of the moldings are already coming off the wall. the list gos on, and nobody cares at the dealer. So I will make it know on as many sights as I can find. Show less
