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

Worst purchase I ever made. The thing has 12 outlets, two work. The day I pulled it off the lot the light/ water heater panel immediately began losing its screws. Access to the roof is near impossible and despite the fancy radiant guard crap, the thing can’t maintain a decent temp. I spent 28k on a trailer that I could have gotten a better used model for 6k. Riverside can go get wrecked. I’m never buying another of their products again. Show less

The 2016 176s is the best design of a smaller RV ever. We bought every item available in the top of the line package except the TV. The front of the camper kitchen and the dining room"booth" slide out made this a spacious and comfortable camper for us. We have the Amish temperpedic mattress -- so spoiled! The only complaint were the tires. We used the factory tires for one year and bought Goodyear tires. Rosie the Retro traveled beautifully. I have heard that from covid 2020 on, the manufacturing was not as solid. But we have had no problems at all! Show less

Pulls well behind a 5000lb-rated tow vehicle. A bit heavy for 19ft trailer due to the slide. But still only 3400lbs. Spacious with slide out. Rear bed placement gives a feel of a second room, just draw a curtain across and separate the bed from the rest of the trailer. Show less

Worst camper ever! No where to sit except the dinette, uncomfortable. Bathroom sink is in the main area near the kitchen. Who wants to get ready essentially the kitchen? AC runs non stop, cannot hear the TV. The TV is as soon as you walk in the door, odd placement. And finally, our camper had a soft floor. Tracing the leal, it led to the exterior electrical box, it was not sealed. Water ran off the drip at the top, into the unsealed (oversized) hole under the cabinet and ran under the threshold. Taking the drawer out revealed the oversized hole, extremely large hole and the trash left from construction. Don't fall for the quality control, it is not there. Customer service is almost non existent. Show less

I purchased this RV used in 2021. It was a nice style, and I liked the Retro look. I got the teal/greenish color with the black and white checkered flooring inside. Everything looked great except whoever had it before me must had had something heavy on the bed that fell over when they were towing it because the floor next to the bed below the window was all scraped up and had been curling apart. The dealer made an effort to glue it back down, but I had to put a small rug on top to cover it. After the very first trip where I was parked in the shade, the plastic material on both seats started flaking and coming apart all over the seat and back rest. I had to cover the seats with a blanket while on my trip to keep them from getting worse and getting material all over the floor. After I got home and removed the blankets, they were covered in plastic seat material. Very, very poor quality. Instead of spending a ton of money to have it fixed, I opted for seat covers I got on Amazon. Also, I had attached some Command strips on the wall to hold a couple of pictures because I didn't want to put any holes in the wall. I wanted to change where the pictures hung and when I attempted to remove the Command strips, the wall finish came off with it! Not good! I am going to be taking it out again soon and I'm not crazy about the quality of it now. I can only wonder what will fall apart next. Show less

Bought the riverside rv 2023 xplorer 511x last year. Worst decision ever. The quality check department was locked in the break room for the entirety of the assembly. The warranty for such a pricey item is a complete joke! Customer service will be asking you how YOU fixed the issue. Right off the bat we had issues with the electrical, with the battery connections (wouldnt hold a charge), then with the radio (which is now no longer Bluetooth capable) the rack though it appears solid is very thin & flexible and too high to reach without a ladder. The inside accents are one by one coming undone due to cheap glue and the kitchen floor ended up flooding underneath because nobody bothered to check the hose connections before sending it out. Warranty offered us $150 for us to repair the water-swollen wood in the kitchen ourselves. Now, after taking it out of its 1st winter storage we find a bubble of water underneath the trailer in-between the floor & the insulation. So far customer service solution to nearly every problem has been 'glue & paint'. The fenders were held on by silicone and came off. I despair at how much $ I will lose in the sale because I won't be able to lie to the buyer about what an absolute design-disaster this is. It's too late for me. Save yourself!! Show less

We bought this trailer in 2020 didn’t get to use it much because of Covid took it out about 3 times next year we had several wildfires so only took it out 1 time now we are in 2023 2024 used it for about 3 weeks for a job I had out of town. We have had nothing but trouble with this trailer very poorly built inside trim falling off shower leaks was not sealed properly, the outside corner rubber molding that covers the screws blew off when going down the road all 4 corners and around the door, which is causing water on the inside and mold. Very disappointed in this trailer. 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
