Venture reviews

Our Venture 2021 Sonic SN231VRK was nothing but problems. Worked fine for first 4 week trip in 2021, after the slide had to be repaired right from the start. In 2022 the slide failed again in August, after only a couple short trips and was repaired under extended warranty. In early summer 2023 slide failed again. Service shop stated all screws had come out of fridge and table area. The floor of slide and sides are weak which allows the slide to go out at an angle which causes schwintec gears to fail. The shop suggested the floor and sides have x bracing installed. They called Venture and got no help of course. I also found the windows were never tighten properly and I had a soft spot in the floor after only two years? Must have been leaking from the start. Got rid of the lemon. Show less

Love the size and layout. Comfortable and just the right size. Pulls smoothly. Now the bad part. The slide contains the kitchen table and refrigerator. The whole weight is held by the slides and is cantilevered into the trailer. Too much weight and shaking while going down the road. The refrigerator lost all the top screws on one short trip. I am on the third repair of the slide. It gets stuck and will not go out. The motor burnt out once and the slide rails broke twice. Since there is no Venture warranty on my two year old trailer, I am having rollers added under the slide for support, hopefully that will fix the problem. Also, we found a soft spot in the floor, caused by poor window Gaskets. Windows will have to be pulled and reset with silicone. Check the windows and add silicone on the top and sides where they are not tight against the trailer. Expensive repairs. We had a Forrest River Wolf Pup for 4 years with no problems. Show less

By far this is the best quality RVI have ever had. From ball hitch to back bumper I’m extremely impressed. I’ve used it about 18 times in the two years I’ve had it and haven’t found a flaw yet! I tow it with my 2022 4 Runner and it tow’s wonderfully. The staff at Kelowna RV in British Columbia are the best with all my questions! I highly recommend any Sonic Model 👍 Show less

The trailer leaks. The screws in the windows shear off every time we move the trailer. The door has had to be repaired with better materials. The manufacturer used the absolute worst possible materials in an absolutely beautiful design. Outdoor kitchen is great. Bedroom is spacious. The living space is perfect. Show less

Another great weekend in the books. The sonic 211 pulls great behind a 1/2 ton truck and is guick and easy to set up when you get there. Sharp looking on the outside, and the inside is very well designed, with a dinette and a fold up bed to give plenty of room. The solar package is great when I need to keep food in the refrigerator, but am not plugged into shore power. Show less

Low quality trailer . Substandard job. All four jacks collapsed after one week . Leak on the top of the trailer when the solar panel is fixed. Missing glue and water went behind the panel. Customer service substandard . They don’t want to fix their substandard product. I fixed by myself and ask just for $ 200 as a compensation. They denied. Venture Trailers manufactures low quality trailers . Open your eyes before purchase this trailer. Show less

This is our first RV, bought new in June of 2020 to get our family of four (two 20 year olds) out of the COVID lockdown. Camping has been a savior for us and this little Sonic 231VRK has been almost flawless for 10 trips over the last 9 months. Only MINOR issues thus far. First there was a misaligned slide out which the dealer fixed instantly. Next issue was a cracked MaxFanAir cover in bedroom, which leaked water. Our dealer, Terry Vaughn RV’s fixed it properly as well, but took longer than expected. CO sensor starting beeping randomly for no apparently reason. There is no propane leak, because we have had the bottles turned off for about a month. Hope the dealer can help during the first annual inspection. Oh, yeah, the AC blows cold, but is LOUD. We upgraded to an AC “auto off” Bluetooth controller which helped a lot. Those are the only problems we’ve had thus far. We replaced all of the Trailer King tires with higher rated tires and feed secure on the road. No flats yet. It is very well insulated for outside noise, sleeps 4 comfortably and has a quality finish. It has been structurally sound so far. We are happy with the camper overall. Show less
