Starcraft Satellite Reviews on RV Insider (9)
Avg. Rating

We purchased a new Satellite 16KS in May 2019. We are very disappointed in the unit. The refrigerator has never worked!! And after three camping trips we have sprung a leak in the plumbing. The dealership is Camping World and they could not give us a warranty appointment for several weeks and then said they would have to keep the RV for 3.5 weeks. Really?!? It has never worked people. I am going to call Starcraft and camping world headquarters to complain.

We bought our Starcraft Satellite popup new and have loved it. It's great for a family as an inexpensive way to camp and travel. Starcraft stands behind their products. Over the years (and miles) we replaced the axle and Starcraft stood behind replacing the top that developed problems after many years.

Fantastic little RV for the price! Have lived it full time Mon - Thur throughout the week for the past 6 months. No major issues at all. Very comfortable for 1-2 people and can squeeze in 4 + a dog for short periods. The full bath (RB = Rear Bath) is a great floor plan. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a small TT that has all the basic amenities. Installed an electric vent fan and some storage above the bed. Has been through 100+ degree summer days and some cold days in the winter so far. The A/C and heating system (supplemented with an electric space heater) work great and its comfortable all year round (down south anyway).

One year and it is falling apart!! Do not waste your time calling customer care either!! Lesson learned now to spread the word!! Do not waste your money on satellite trailers owned by Jayco!!! Don't waste your hard earned money on a company that will not back their product!!

The 16ks has a great floor plan but that is about it!!Had the trailer for a little over a year and the list of problems keeps growing. I contacted starcraft and told them what was wrong guess what they did not respond!! list of issues are. Blind broke will not stay up,roof leak swelled up the fake wood on the ceiling above entry door and bed,trailer totally filled with smoke on a trip came from breaker panel area something burnt!! ,smell propane when i am around the front of the trailer and when i open front storage compartment,automatic lift and light on the front of trailer has a short in it,etc!! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!! PRODUCT IS VERY POOR QUALITY!!

I have had my Starcraft for 11 months. Sprung leaks everywhere. The camping world said warranty was for only 90 days for the seals and that is a really short time for new seals and caulking to wear out.

Read reviews before you buy!! Had to replace the refrigerator and auto jack. Was leaking propane just after purchase. Had to replace the propane regulator. Freezer exterior regularly defrosts creating water seepage inside refrig. All covered under warranty. Camping World techs mostly NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE about this unit causing weeks and weeks of delays. I waited 2-3 months to get my awning replaced at Camping World in Alvarado, TX huge Collision Center. Forgot to order parts and no one checking on why orders were behind. Disaster!! AC has held up in Texas heat but cant beat the hottest days. Releases condensation into unit onto floor if really hot weather, when it is turned off. Did not hurt the AC tho. Love the size! I pull well with my Nissan Xterra. Prefer cooking with inductive stove run by electricity. Heat with plug in heater rather than propane. Love that if I am off roading and battery runs out, can recharge by plugging into running car. Good for going somewhere to stay -but if I’m traveling and sleeping, I prefer to just sleep in my Xterra. The cut in gas mileage is not worth dragging my mattress with me.

21 foot easy tow camper in like new condition. Towed and camped 3000 miles over ten days with no issues. Everything on the camper is like new. Convection microwave makes cooking easy, the indoor stovetop has never been used. This camper is ideal for a small family just getting into camping.

BUYER BEWARE!!! This was a very unfortunate purchase. I bought this camper brand new less than a year ago and have had constant issues. When I arrived at dealership to take my camper home they could not get the furnace or the stove to light. I was told I'd need to come back at a later date to pick it up because no one knew what was wrong. Turned out to be a leaky valve to the PROPANE TANK. Needless to say, I was worried and should have walked away right then, but I came back a few days later and took the camper home. The handle to the screen door broke in first two weeks. The TV antenna was incorrectly installed and took 8 months for them to finally get fixed. When I first contacted them they informed me it was my problem and I needed to find a dealer that would work on it. As soon as the camper leaves the lot they wash their hands of the it. I was given phone numbers to call and given the run around for a very long time before having to drag it in to be fixed. Customer service and the warranty are very very poor. OVERALL I GIVE THE CAMPER A FAILING GRADE!!!!
