Travel Trailers - Teardrop reviews

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

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
