Travel Trailer reviews

The Go Explore X225 is our 2nd camper and our first new one. Before I mention the bad stuff, I will say that we love this trailer floor plan. This is a great couples camper. Would we buy it again? Yes. Now for the down side. This first major trouble came just 3 days into ownership. This trailer has a television that is on a motorized mechanism that rises up from the dinette area. There is a major wiring harness behind a panel under the dinette and the TV mechanism cut through and mangled several of the wires in this bundle because it was not secured properly away from the mechanism from the factory. It cut the 110 AV power cord to the TV itself and energized the metal mechanism in addition to other loose wires powering several 12 VDC systems. This was serious and could have caused a fire or an electrocution. The other issue had to do with the rack-and-pinion slide mechanism which was only secured to the bottom of the slide using 4 1.5 inch lag screws through the soft plywood floor. Moving the slide in and out in normal use, put a lateral stress on the screws and they eventually elongated the holes one by one fell out unknown to us. Bolts with backing plates and washers should have been used in this application. Both of these issues I fixed myself with less than $20 in parts and an hour or so of my time. These two things are major issues that were completely preventable and should have been addressed at the factory. All other systems in this trailer have performed flawlessly and we have put over 10000 miles on it thus far. We do love this trailer despite these initial issues and plan on keeping it for several years to come. Show less

We purchased our Luxury Surveyor straight from the factory. We used it for state park camping due to it size and configuration. Further, we snowbird in the unit from November through April. The unit travels well behind a Silverado 1500. The weight of the trailer makes it very towable. The unit quality is much like other units since most of the parts and assemblies is made by Lippert Inc. We upgraded the tires and air conditioner, but overall very satisfied with the unit. For a couple, I would highly recommend the unit based off quality and “best for the money.” Show less

Within the first year there were multiple manufacturing errors that began to arise. the worst of which was the roof during manufacturing somewhere on the assembly ling the "roofing crew" forgot or just ran out of screws but they went ahead and finished the assembly process rolling the rubber roofing over the unfinished roof, now one of the roof decking panels is now lifted up and rubbing against the bottom of the rubber roof , several screws are obvious rubbing along with the obvious corner from the 4x8 sheet poking up . the fact that it is under the rubber roof has been used by Jayco to claim its a unwarrantable item " because they see no damage yet " so on a trailer that i have had less than 2 years I am expected to pay for a new roof . I have even offered to bring it to the Middletown factory in Indiana from Minnesota . so they could see first hand what is happening . the dealership has been very helpful and fully agrees it is a manufacturing flaw. .. so ... if your counting on their warranty..DON'T they use it as a sales ploy but refuse to honor it.

Bought a 2025 stratus venture 261vrb from great American tv in defuniak springs Florida. Went on a 4 month trip around the USA Overall not many issues. One issue was the 20 amp gfci bkr that fed the outlets for where the washer and dryer would plug in 120vac was wired incorrectly at the factory. As soon as u plugged anything in the bkr would trip free. Took the dealership some time to troubleshoot this issue and wire the bkr correctly. Second issue was the reception wiring for cable/antanne broke after 2 months. Dealership troubleshot and found numerous loose connections and a bad splitter. Third issue was electric fireplace broke after 3 months. Dealership replaced it. 4th issue was the slide out stove fell off its sliders after 3 uses. Dealership fixed 5th issue was the blinds by the couch and dining table had the lower piece come off. Dealership fixed these. Last issue was the shower head was clogged with piping debris from installation. Had to clean out bits of plastic plumbing pipe to get decent water flow. It took a month to get warranty work approved. And another month to get parts. Show less

We lived in the Keystone Passport 219BH for about 6 weeks straight. We towed the travel trailer from Virginia to Indiana up through Michigan and into Canada, around the great lakes, back down through Niagara, then back home. It was a once in a lifetime trip and we created so many lifelong memories. We had up to 5 people living in it at one time. My adult daughter stayed with us for about a week of the trip making it my wife and I, and three teen agers. Five people in the RV was tight. Four was comfortable. We had no problems with it the whole time even though it was slightly used. There are no slide outs which means less issues to worry about, but moving throughout the RV with 4 or more people makes it a little tight at times. Despite that, our experience was very comfortable and cozy. We used the propane heater a little bit and it made the RV warm quickly. It was also very efficient. We cooked all of our meals in the RV and only needed to fill one of the 2 propane tanks the whole time we were camping. The AC worked really well too. It was hot in Indiana at the time, and we could always sleep comfortably inside at night with the central AC. I liked the fact that we could direct the AC vents to aim were we wanted so that if I was hot and my wife was cold, I could aim it right at me. The outdoor grill and water spigot were very convenient. Ours had electric tow hitch and stabilizers which made it so nice. We could set up and take down in 15 minutes. For the price, it was worth every penny and made of high quality materials like the fiberglass outside and cold weather underbelly. I was super happy with the investment we made and money we saved compared to staying in hotels. Show less

We have owned travel trailers for 30 years. We travel across country yearly. We purchased jayco 22rk July 2025. We had a grand design 2500 rl which we enjoyed with dual entrance. We did not like the scwintek slide (hung up three times). Jayco 22rk is very similar floor plan and is great two person camper. Has a separate bedroom and bath room. It is small and light enough that it is easy to tow. Also has rack and pinion slide that can be retracted manually if need be. I am 6’-4” and am comfortable. It is relatively inexpensive compared to a lot of trailers out there. We find that it meets our needs. We brought trailer in to have seals on slide repaired. Green compass Silsbee Texas fixed under warranty. Have been very pleased with that locations service. Show less

We purchased our 2019 Aspen Trail 2710 in Oct. of '23 and have lived ,full time, ever since. We have towed it 30k+, in all terrain, up 11,000ft up the rockies, down to the N. Rim of the Grand canyon, across central USA down to Key West Florida, back to San Antonio Texas, and EVERYWHERE in between. We have NEVER HAD ONE SINGLE ISSUE WITH OUR TRAILER. And we tore it up on the inside. Both rooms, beds, sofas and dinette area we completely disassembled it and threw it in the dump. And we built our HOME , for 5 yrs , we'll see, but we didn't disassemble one single screw, or ANYTHING that was factory done as not to mess with the integrity of factory seals, etc. we ran off our water pump for over a year, daily. Everything still works. Never has had any leaks, failing appliances, nothing. And I've been in some weather conditions too! Today it's below freezing in Austin Texas, and the entire outside of this thing has ice on it. We are toasty inside with a small space heater. We haven't ran the furnace heater since the first and only time we used it. That's was way to hot for us . The A/C has ran, you might as well say, 24/7/365 since we bought it. My wife , menopause deal, yeah she runs it everyday,all day. Never an issue. Everything is still going strong. I removed the underbelly about six months into this lifestyle because I HAD TO KNOW my exact layout under there. I found a crack in pot tank on the seam. Repaired that. Double tied all wires, connectors, propane lines, secured every thing and replaced the belly with s.s. zip screws so now it can be removed easier if need be . I've re coated the roof with Henry's, I keep all filters, vents ,coils clean almost daily as we have two cats and a Cane Corso. This camper is the best. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. Now, somethings I've noticed could have been better, but that everything we deal with. I tow it with a 2012 Nissan Armada Platinum 4×4. So easy my wife tows it with full confidence, easily. We always say we should have went a little bigger or we wish we had slides, but this was the right one for the right people and we love it Show less

We bought the Scout Lite because it would fit in our garage and was easy to tow. We expected reduced comfort and storage. We did NOT expect one cabinet door to fall off during our first outing. Nor did we expect another door to be hanging by one hinge during the first outing. The air conditioner doesn't work, which has kept us bouncing between the dealership and the AC manufacturer. Do not buy this poor quality camper unless you want to make your own repairs. Show less

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
