Venture RV Sonic Lite Travel Trailer reviews

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

This camper is well built with quality materials. The owner of Sunset Park RV was at a rally I attended and I was very impressed with his sincerety. He voluntarily went over my camper with me and answered all my questions. The 16BH is perfect for singles, couples or a small family. It has all the amenities to make your camping experience comfortable, easy to tow and maintain, and can go places larger campers can't go. Love it! 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

We love our Sonic. With that said. Its a great lite weight trailer for livability and function. We bought it in Nov 2020 so we did not use it until spring of 2021. Now Aug of 2022 little over one year we noticed that the tongue looked like it is bending upward. We compared it to our photos when it was new and sure enough it is bending. So I called the dealer, sent photos and wouldn't you know it, its no longer covered in the ONE YEAR WARRANTY. It has not been off road other than a developed campgrounds. The roads and highways here are probably worse than off roading so I'm not surprised things bend. So it appears that the C channel cross member is very weak. Some frame manufacturers have 2 year warranties. Bad luck for me. So it is up to me to get it fixed. I would make sure before buying a Venture RV product that they warrant the frame if made by BAL for longer than 1 year. Now Im stuck with getting it repaired. I sent an email to Venture but have not heard back. Show less

This rv was perfect for us, senior couple, no kids, one cat, UNTIL it started to delaminate. My husband had been doing the maintenence regularly and inspecting for any leaks etc. He had checked and re-caulked multiple seams. It began delaminating in the front on the driver side of the trailer. Before long, delamination started on the other side of the trailer in the rear. KZ the manufacturer was not interested in helping. The trailer was only 3 yrs old with one trip to New England from GA and used the rest of the time for GA state park camping. Perhaps it had about 8,000 miles at the most. Very disappointing. Thankfully we were able to sell it to Camping World and informed it had a roof leak that would require removing the entire roof area to repair. Just want folks to be aware of this potential problem.

Bought this 220VBH June 2014. We have over 15,000 miles on it now. Shoty build quality by the English hating Amish. I am a Union Electrician and have all kinds of building experience. Water leak rotted the floor under the front passenger side storage from holes not filled on that side trim edge at roof line. Water leaks around water pump and under bath sink. Interior falls apart around dinette. Slide bounces up into the AC unit destroying the valance Aside from that it was cheap, around $15K in 2014. This first year model is only rated for 5,200lbs. GVW has 2.8K axles and the 3.5K brakes. I run it loaded with a CAT scaled traveling weight of about 5,800lbs. 700lbs. of this is hitch weight. About 5,100lbs on the axles. I've worn out the spring shackles and installed EZ Flex. I fix and maintain this TT. I have installed a custom Solar system of my own design 470 watts (300W on roof), 3,500W + 1,200W pure sine wave inverters, 320ah LiFePo4 battery/120ah AGM on tongue , auto XFR switch.... Boondock ready. Don't buy if you can not service it yourself!!! I have no experience with any factory warranty or dealer service scams. Show less
