Sunset Trail Super Lite Folding Trailer reviews

I love this little camper! It's comfortable, and has everything we need for our camping style. Very easy to tow. Black/gray tank drain valves are easy to get to . It seems well made, it feels solid with no soft spots. We are completely satisfied with it and can't wait to retire soon so we can enjoy it more Show less

This is the 3rd new camper I have purchased from this manufacturer. If you are familiar with this company, you are familiar with the low attention to detail. The deigns are great, the assembly is the worst. I really liked all three of my campers. I hate to write a bad review. On this last camper I wont list all the problems, but it was the worst. The company started out like they were going to help, but in the end they can not even return emails. Frankly I can not understand how these campers, leave the warehouse with some of the issues I've seen. I will go elsewhere for my 4th camper. Good bye SunLite LTD! Show less

My wife and I are Alaska residents. As such, prepping for winter on the 16bh is a snap! All of the drain points are located in easy to reach areas. The fresh water tank (after draining) separates from the pump, there is a separate pick up hose that draws the antifreeze into the lines. All that's needed is open the valves and the antifreeze pumps in! Slick and fast! The quality, fit, and finish are excellent. With 18 hours of summer daylight, the solar panel works great! Longest trip last year culminated in a total of 1800 miles. Not a single problem! 100%+, well thought out! Could not be happier. FYI, our tow vehicle is a Buick Enclave. The 16bh is a dream to tow, and it's weight is far less than capacity. I would fate this unit at "ten stars" if the program would allow for it! Show less

Sky lights crooked,front sky light leaks, door valance crooked,led lights don't work properly, toilet clog with no paper,fridge noise very loud,molding in wet area of bathroom not sealed, toilet platform horrible. I won't take back to dealer if they don't know how to use a level. It tows good, quality of work is pitiful. Show less

This is a higher quality trailer on so many levels. No wood/no rot/all alluminum allows the owner to deal with any water issues without experiencing wood damage. The appliances are high quality. The refrigerator works great while boon docking and uses very little gas. We have owned the Livinlite for almost 7 years and wish they were still made. Comparable trailers now cost three times the cost. The low tongue weight with 2 Dexter axles provides a superior tow experience. Show less

This camper is wrought with issues. PC board for water heater went bad after 3 years. Thermostat went bad. PC board melted and Thermocouple did not do its job. Pex fittings have small leaks under sink. Valves connected to Pex are cheap plastic and have a tendency to leak. Control panel inside camper has a switch for electric water heater but there is no electric for this model water heater. Model G6A-8E water heater is strictly gas, but the switch comes on when you toggle it. Its just inoperative for this model water heater. Entry door has a magnet that holds it open but after so many times pulling door shut from magnet, the magnet loosens from rear of camper and strips itself from the metal siding. Very poor design to say the least. Construction of bench seats is shoddy. A 1/4"-3/4" gap between frames. Staples barely keeping this thing together. Last but by no means least. Good Luck reaching out to Manufacturer. My advice. Run as fast as you can from this Manufacturer of this model or anything they build. Run fast! Show less

We were so excited to take our new 18RD for our first trip in Colorado. Fully charged dual batteries and Solar - it couldn't keep the fridge going for a single night. No power in the morning, no furnace. Piece of junk for dry camping. Can't get a response from the manufacturer. Show less

This classic design is unique in its quality of construction and light weight. This is due to all-aluminum frame, roof, sides, floor, cabinets, and wheels. It is elegant in its simplicity and is stable on the highway. I drove it across country including Oklahoma and Texas where we experienced high winds and the trailer was remarkably stable with its dual wheels . . . no need for after market stabilizers. This was one of the last years this all-aluminum model was produced since the company was bought out by Thor and less expensive materials were used. While the original manufacturer is not longer in business, all internal parts are available on the market. Show less

We bought this trailer in June 2022. It was a dry summer and all was well. Then no sooner than the rains hit last fall, we were constantly mopping up water in the storage space, then on the kitchen floor. At the time the trailer was in storage and every time we checked on it, we found water. After a theft at the lot, we brought our trailer home in February and kept finding water in it. By March the panelling in the storage space delaminted and we found wall damage under the emergency escape window. I also found missing sealant on the hatch frame and I think the floor is soft at the wall for I can push down on it in places.. I contacted Sunset Trailer about it three weeks ago... no responce. We took the trailer to the dealership two weeks ago... they found missing roof sealant too, cointacted Sunset, and got no responce either. Although we inspected the trailer every 90 days, used Dry Z Air and lots of towels; we hadn't the time to take it in until two weeks ago. Nonetheless, Sunset has refused to honor its warrantee... nor should the trailer have begun leaking when three months old. This was no dumped over dog dish as we first thought... I think the poor application of sealant, resulting water damage, and the non existant treatment we received warrants a refund or replacing the trailer. Strange how their website says, "Trust the Build." I don't. Show less

I am very happy with the trailer. The support however, it Non existent. Buy from a dealer, and if you don't want their aftermarket support, you should be fine. I wanted the awning, and the shower enclosure, but after 5 emails there is no response. Show less
