Riverside Rv RETRO 177SE reviews

I would not recommend buying a retro trailer. While the Riverside Warranty department helped me while on the road and were nice. The fact that a brand new trailer had issues is wrong. I took position in January of 2018 and within a week the hot water heater wouldn't work. A six weeks later, the heater went. It took three trips and six days at the shop fix. I got the trailer back twice still not working. There were a bunch of issues I had for the RV shop after the first trip. One of the items which concerned me as their web page shows they test the windows and rv for leaks. I had a window that leak. Then it was just before a year I had the re window leaking. I was told by the RV Shop where I bought it that it was out of warranty. I believe this is wrong because I bought the trailer a month and a half before taking possession (so add a clause that warrant starts the day you take possession). The latest issue is a tire. Nobody carries the replacement tires. I can't even find a tire store that can order them. Show less

I loved the look and new appliances that's it. The construction is horrible. I don't know where to begin. The staples pulling out of wall and board on platform for bed, trim etc etc. Now to the big part. The wet bath is very very unstable. When you step in to use it for potty or shower you are on the drain area. Problem is under that drain is open space so no stability. The drain hose slipped sideways and water went pouring out under the seams onto my floor twice. I cleaned it up immediately but didnt matter. The floor was screwed . These floors can not get wet at all soaks up immediately into the base with is pressed plywood. Suddenly stain appeared on laminate and it's full of mold and mildew on a trailer because it has no place to evaporate, windows get the least little rain through them and that part of floor is permanently wet stained. This is a trailer not old and just started using this year. I'm waiting on insurance to approve flooring guy and sick in my trailer as I stuck out of state because of covid with mold in it. Regret everyday buying this. Theres so much more but dont want to write it. Show less

As others have said, the construction is shoddy. Unless you fill at least 10 gals of water in the tank, the trailer bounces so bad that things fly out of the cupboards. I like the look, and space is good. The refrigerator has been a problem because ,it seems that the jets do not work well over 5K ft. Our butane tank holder has separated from the frame, so the welds were less than ideal. There are other issues, but the bottom line is construction is poor. I won’t buy another one, but it does get folks attention. I have had to do a lot of DIY to make things safer. The last thing that is disconcerting is that there are so many things behind the scenes that are working it really drains the battery. Thanks Show less

Great Rv. Can tow with a car. Very well thought out storage and space. Comfortable bed... queen not double! Thought the bathroom shower combo would be small, but plenty of space. Very easy hookups and leveling. Great trailer and so cute. Everywhere we go people ask about it. We just need a toy hauler for the new motorcycle. Show less
