Travel Trailers - Hybrid reviews

This is a cheaply made trailer with low quality materials. Water lines are run against metal frame so tend to freeze up. A small inverter to run 200 watt heat trace seems to be the answer for off grid. Very difficult to vent properly in winter to prevent condensation build up. Windows that also are emergency exits blow all the way open in high winds. Drawer slide bearings in plastic so fallout. Warranty is voided if you use full time. Black water tank doesn't fully drain. Drain valve for kitchen gray tank poorly placed. Furnace works well. Air Condition sometimes freezes up. 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

We like the layout it is roomy . Large refrigerator. Nice walk in shower. The one complaint and it’s a BIG ONE. The furniture is peeling. We have no pets and no children. Jus ourselves. We are very meticulous on caring for our RV. It is on a leased lot and we haves used it 3 months 2023 & 2024, The headrest and armrest are peeling. We are very disappointed in this lack of quality. I think we are beyond our warranty l hope l can add pictures with this review . Show less

I bought this travel trailer new in 2015 and i have tried to camp with it but its has always been a nightmare. . The manufacturing of this travel trailer is of the poorest quality.from day 1 , all but one window leaked during the rain . I have had this junk worked on several times but still even today the windows still leak. The floors and walls on the bottom have rotten out . I received no help from the people who made this junk ,after I became what they called a problem customer. They i ignored me and stuck me with this forty thousand dollar junk. The very first time I tried to use the waterpump it did not work . Had to cancel trip . I argued with the manufacturers 3 and days to get the same new water pump and they wouldn't . I check into a hotel room. Do not buy a puma travel trailer. After the first year the floor in the main slide out rotted out from windows leaking trew the walls . The\nManufacturers would do nothing about that and would not revert me for the labor or cost of the materials to repair their junk.dont not buy a puma travel trailer. Show less

Very disappointed in this trailer. While it has some good points like combined Microwave, Air Fryer, Oven, the build quality leaves a lot to be desired. Dinette cushion foam is weak 130 lb adult flattens it. Oriented strand board used under bed and dinette seats has rough unfinished edges a real finger shredder.Instant hot water heater installed at very front of unit resulting in having to run the hot water faucets and shower for a long time before getting hot water through. Cabinet installation shows lack of quality control. Soap dispenser installed to far from sink and drape hold downs incorrectly installed. The on board thermostat is useless reading up to 20 degrees higher than the actual temperature. Finally still searching for a way to access the rear view camera without a smart phone. Should never have bought this unit. Show less

I have enjoyed my FR Surveyor 252RBLE thoroughly. The layout works well for me. Some tweaks will have to be made, but over all a winner on all counts. The cabinet door handles have sharp edges, not dangerous but definitely will nick your shins, especially the ones under the dinette, I’ll replace them this winter. The AC is loud, with recent products that are quieter and more efficient, I’ll upgrade that. The thermostat isn’t accurate, and I’ll upgrade that as well. I upgraded the mattress, but that seems to be a standard upgrade in the RV world anyway. The layout is GREAT! I can access the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen with the slide in, no problem at all. The rear facing recliner chairs have a great set up to relax. Plenty of counter space, and efficient storage in the kitchen area. The hanging closet and storage in the bathroom are great too, especially in addition to the already well designed bedroom storage. The vacuum is load, but works VERY well, and helps maintain a tidy space. The pantry storage area is huge, and in the exact right place. The outdoor ‘kitchen’ area is great, with a propane line and water all in one area. I did some updates out there, as I won’t use the small fridge, so I added an ice maker, and a ninja oven / air fryer thing. I haven’t had any issues towing, but I’m not an experienced RV-er yet, more to follow! Show less

So glad there is now a Scamp Phoenix location. Same friendly helpful service with a store and a showroom. Got repair done quickly and we’re on our way. It’s conveniently located right off 101 near the State Farm Stadium in the west valley. They also have sweatshirts and shirts. The small parts and accessories you may be looking for. Show less

Was big believer in Jayco brand trailer and bought my third new one and have owned several new ones. Received a questionnaire from Jayco after purchase and listed all the faults and changes to the design that I didn’t like. They never responded. Have had warantee problems with things that have not worked in first year and dealer has failed to fix. Cheap things like the clock and the control for heat and air conditioning do not work and am told they were not made by Jayco and can not be fixed by warantee. Jayco used to be a well made travel trailer but will not buy another Show less

I purchased this RV new from a dealer June 2025, went in for repair on July 11, 2025 and it took 5 months for them to realize it was manufactured wrong. I have not had my camper since July 11th and they are telling me it cannot go in to be repaired until Mid February. So I have no camper that I make payment on and no on really cares at all. Forest River will fix it at their leisure... In my mind they should of replaced it. Worst Company Ever!!!!!! Show less

It was love at first site for the wife and I. After 30 years in a tent we were ready to finally make the jump. What a disappointment!! While it looked great, had very nice options like a "big" fridge, nice bathroom and lot's of storage it turned out to be made so cheap it's no even funny. Roof leaked so many times I must have used at least 6 tubes of Docal. Then the rain would come in from the air conditioning. The electronic board sucks energy way more than what other campers told us. I'm 5 feet 10" and the bed is not long enough. The toilet started leaking after 2 years. Most screws screw into 1/8 cheap wood so it's easy for them to get loose. And I could go on. We spent over $4000 on repairs that should not have happened Not choosing a trailer with comfortable seating when it rains for a couple of days was another mistake. Don't count on the kitchen seating for that, and one bench became loose because.... the wood with the screws is not thick enough to have any structural support. There are smaller trailers out there that have more inside space and are better built. Show less
