Worst camper ever! No where to sit except the dinette, uncomfortable. Bathroom sink is in the main area near the kitchen. Who wants to get ready essentially the kitchen? AC runs non stop, cannot hear the TV. The TV is as soon as you walk in the door, odd placement. And finally, our camper had a soft floor. Tracing the leal, it led to the exterior electrical box, it was not sealed. Water ran off the drip at the top, into the unsealed (oversized) hole under the cabinet and ran under the threshold. Taking the drawer out revealed the oversized hole, extremely large hole and the trash left from construction. Don't fall for the quality control, it is not there. Customer service is almost non existent. Show less

Great floor plan with much comfort. Lots of cabinets to keep plenty of food, clothes and all necessities. We have used it on travels as a couple and as a family with 6 kids inside. lots of space to spread out even on rainy days. LOVE LOVE LOVE the out door kitchen!. I really can not complaint. My husband loved the fact that it is an ultra-lite model and easy to tow with our Yukon XL SUV. We love having a KING size bed in our bedroom. Having the bedroom in the front and the bunks in the back is just fabulous, plenty of privacy. Show less

Bought our Nexus Maybach brand new in 2020. Went to an RV show near us and of all the Class A's we looked at we were most impressed with the overall esthetic look, the chassis, the interior layout, external storage, etc. We had some warranty issues early on that I reached out to one of the company owners about, Claude Donati. He immediately responded to me and put me in touch with his Service Manager Cindy Hathaway. We were invited out to the Mothership in Indiana where our every need was met. We love our rig & praise Nexus!! Show less

Here is an incomplete list of the problems I have had. I purchased this terrible rig at Leos Vacation Center in Gambrills, Maryland. Just about everything that could fail has failed on this unit. The manufacturer has paid Leos to repair things that they just fixed poorly or not at all. It has been a nightmare. The manufacturer installed a TPO roof with PVC adhesive. When the roof heated up in the sun a reaction occurred and the TPO disintegrated. The roof material was replaced on the rig by Leos, but they refused to replace the bump out roof claiming it was installed with the proper adhesive. Leos messed up the replacement roof by cutting the material too short, now the roof is releasing from underneath the gutters and exposing the roof wood. The awning lights failed. Leo replaced them but soon afterwards they failed again. Leos then claimed they were not out, yet they were. I replaced the LED strip myself at my cost. The recliner lighting shorted out. Leos claimed to fix them but did not, I repaired them myself. The wall storage box was installed incorrectly from manufacturer. Leos did repair this properly. The kitchen table mounts broke. Leos replaced the garbage plastic mounts with metal mounts correctly. The ceiling skylights were cracked during the roof replacement. Leos replaced them but then broke the bezels that I had to replace myself. The City water inlet cracked and leaked inside the coach. Leos repaired it properly. The manufacturer installed the ceiling in the bedroom incorrectly and it started to de-laminate. I fixed it after Leos messed up the repair. The awning on the rig catastrophically collapsed. The manufacturer paid Leos to repair it, but one side still is loose, so another repair failure. The gray and black tank sensors are erratic, the manufacturer refused to repair them. The manufacturer took an over counter sink, drilled holes in it and mounted it under the counter-top with clips and screws. They did not seal the laminated kitchen counter however. Leos attempted to seal it, but did it incorrectly causing water damage to the particle board substrate. The manufacturer placed the shower frame rivets incorrectly and some broke. Leos messed up the repair and I had to do it myself at my cost. The slide out somehow loosened and racked. Leos fixed the racking but did not repair the seal correctly, I took care of it at my cost. The dinette LED shorted out. Leos claimed to fix it and charged me for the repair, however they did not fix it and I had to fix it myself so I paid twice for a repair I did myself. There were several more issues with manufacture defects that Leos claimed to repair, but never did, I am just tired of typing. This KZ Venture Stratus SR261VRK is a complete lemon and I will never do business with KZ/Venture nor any other Thor subsidiaries. This ban also extends to Leos, their service is awful in my opinion. Now that I have personally repaired almost all the manufacture defects, maybe this coach can finally be "recreational". Show less

Typical outing is 4 adults and 3 kids. With that said, the king U feature made this camper unlike any other that we have had, especially on a rainy day when we are stuck inside. Great layout. Minor issues with hinges coming loose but easily fixed by replacing with larger screws. Only real complaint is the decals are already peeling off. If your doing your do diligence you can advert any real issue like leaks. Owning a camper means you have to always prepare for the unexpected so that when something does go wrong its just a temporary set back. Smile, relax and enjoy. Show less

We have had two Sonics- this is a great floor plan. There has been absolutely no problems- other reviews are very negative but remember, the positives are less likely to leave any reviews. There is a lot of storage inside and underneath. Show less

This Rv is only a few years old and over the weekend the frame broke apart on the highway. The frame broke above the rear axle and separated the leaf springs from the frame. Someone definitely could have been killed if we didnt have someone tell us that our rv was leaning over to one side when we pulled in for gas. We were 5 hours from home so had to pay almost $2000 to get it towed home. Checked the other side of the rv and the frame had started to crack in the same area as well. A frame repair company said the rv is totalled so trying to get insurance to total it out. In our short 6 months of ownership we also experienced a water leak from no caulking behind the master bedroom window, oven fan went out, ac wouldn't cycle once it reached operating temp, ac control panel stopped functioning, poor sealant for outdoor kitchen causing wood to rot and rear bumper welds broke from putting less than 100lb generator on it.

2019 25RDS Outdoors RV We bought this trailer new five years ago when we first retired. After lengthy research we paid the higher price for what we considered a higher quality travel trailer. After owning a 20F Outdoors RV for 9 years with basically no issues we felt we knew the brand. The 25RDS gives us everything we expected. Only two issues in the last five years. I had to put two small washers behind a screen door striker as the screen door would not stay closed the first week we had the trailer. Last year I had to replace an electric gas solenoid for the water heater. An easy job. Important options to have are the on the 25RDS are 16 inch wheels and Maxxfans. And make sure you have the correct tow vehicle. This trailer weighs in least 8,000 pounds loaded, because its quality constructed. We have used this trailer. To travel on some rough Oregon backroads, and as a second bedroom here on the farm for overflow guests. The bed is very comfortable. One can sit at the dinette for long periods of time in comfort. The bathroom has a spacious shower. And enough room to dry and dress. Lots and lots of storage room in this trailer. Excellent boon-docker off grid camping. Get a Honda 2200 generator. It will run the AC if required and keep the twin 12volt batteries charged with an hour and a half run per day. I was a production employee building $300k motor homes. I know what shoddy construction looks like. Several friends and relatives have purchased rvs over the last four years. They all have horror stories of problem after problem. But, I am being completely honest when I say with my experiences, I have no reservations highly recommending a 25RDS Outdoors RV. Show less

Highland Ridge has stood behind their product, as it relates to warranty and any issues that needed factory sign off they were excellent to deal with. The dealership complimented this as well very nicely. The trailer is an excellent setup for full timers the second bathroom is probably my favorite feature, you can keep you bedroom separate and not have anyone going through it to use the washroom. Storage is good the kitchen ahs ample pot and pan storage as well as deep enough cupboards to feel actual plates in it. Show less

This is my 4th new RV, my husband's 1st. We wanted a couples trailer, one with plenty of storage and room for the two of us, our two small dogs, and occasional grandkids (and sometimes their parents). When we were searching for a camper (went on for a couple of years), I knew what I liked and didn't like from the three previous trailers I'd had with my ex (Wilderness, Nomad and Pilgrim bunkhouses). I had boxes that needed checked. Hubby knew he wanted a large bathroom and a few other things. This model checked off most of our boxes (with the exception of a roof ladder, but we bought a telescopic ladder that works good. Just more to pack along). When we walked in, we were wowed by the nice sized bathroom and storage in it. Then the walk in pantry (we added hooks on the back of the door for keys, leashes and flyswatter, and brackets for broom and mop on the wall). The living area with extra storage (which current models lack) was a plus. The fireplace was nice but didn't last (we contacted that company directly, and after switching out the board inside twice, and then receiving two different whole units, we got one that works as it should). We did receive one that works fine at adding extra heat and ambience. We did replace the sofa bed with a nice reclining loveseat and built a table to go beside it. Kitchen is good (I wanted stove and sink covers, and separate oven). When we got to the bedroom and the salesman said it had a king bed, my husband was sold (the two pups sleep with us and we have a king at home). It is heavy to lift up. We switched out the mattress for a much better one. Ours doesn't slide side to side like the newer models, and there's not as much room on the driver's side as their is the door side to walk in that area. The drawers and added cabinets in the corner are a nice touch. We added a tv, blackout curtains, and replaced an outlet for one to accommodate USB charging, also, beside the bed. The overall trailer is good. Did we have some issues with it? Yes. But I have with all four brand new trailers. Every trailer, no matter how much you pay for it or what the brand is, will have some issues coming straight from the factories. We just fixed the ones we could ourselves, and used the warranty for the bigger ones. We've had a few issues since but took care of those ourselves, too (replaced a bad inverter, had a water line going to the outside shower come loose under the shower/linen area and leaked in the trailer. We caught it early, so luckily no damage was done). These trailers get pulled over bumps and potholes, sometimes curbs, and things work loose. It's to be expected. And, honestly, all rv's are T.U.R.D.s. Things U Repair Daily, regardless of price or brand. But still we love them. We have done a lot of upgrading/personalizing to our Embrace: put a slide awning on, vent covers, replaced the sofa, put on 12-ply tires with a TPMS, added the back camera, keyless door lock, extra hooks, shelves and brackets, replaced the living room tv for a smart tv, put a smart tv in the bedroom, replaced a bedroom outlet for one with USB charging, also, added insulation boarding in the pass-thru storage area so the bed doesn't feel as cold/hot, replaced the mattress with a foam one, and many other projects. And we did most of these while camping because we cannot keep our trailer at home. It sits at a storage/rv repair shop in between camping trips. So, would I recommend this brand/model? Yes. The floorplan is a great one for couples who don't care about having a huge trailer just for two people. It is livable. Easy to pull. I don't like that the newer ones have less storage (over couch, refrigerator, tv, and no doors on the storage under the sink area) now. And from what I hear, craftsmanship on all brands is down after covid. But, as I said earlier, all will have some issues coming straight from the factory. Expect them. And expect some to come up after pulling/using the trailer. Just take care of it. Don't be unnecessarily rough with it. Grease the axles/bearings/upgrade the tires/check the battery water. Do the regular maintenance on it. This will help extend its life. Show less
