Travel Trailers - Hybrid reviews

From the start it are experience was not good. Towing lights didn't work and we had to wait over 3 hours for them to be repaired. We were promised a lead acid battery In lieu of lithium ion, but it wasn't provided. 1st night sleeping, the converted table/bed collapsed. The water system had froze at some point prior to picking it up, the faucet knob had popped off, the screen filter at the pump was cracked and leaked all over the place, the water tank vent hose was kinked in 2 places and I had to fill the tank with an eye dropper (figure of speech). The 12vdc system didn't work, the refrigerator didn't work on propane, due to the supply line being twisted like a pretzel. The wifi smart system didn't work and I had to spend hours on the phone and emails to get it to sort of work. The canopy install was never completed. When I called the owner/operator Nick, and informed him of all the issues, all I got was a "sorry". Not a, send me the receipts for the repairs or anything even close. The concept of the rv is great, however the quality, quality control and company pride is non-existent . I wouldn't recommend purchasing this rv to anyone. Show less

Camper in incredible!! Stay FAR away from Blackseries, if you would like a company to honor a warranty on the camper. Their warranty department is LITERALLY the worse WARRANTY department ever and it says a lot about a company. BUYER BEWARE!!! I wish I read this review before I bought one!! Show less

Tent camping the easy way with all the amenities. No more struggling to assemble the tent then hope it doesn't rain ensuring you wake up in wet sleeping bags. Our family enjoyed rough camping for a while...But these hybrid tent end campers are just the best of both worlds. No regrets for buying a hybrid, roomy, light weight towing, easy on my truck and wallet when it comes to gas prices. Show less

These Hybrid Travel Trailers are so light weight and easy to tow. We towed a Kodiak model 214 with our jeep. Considering its just 24ft we couldn't believe how much room we had and with the slide out and 2 queen size tent ends it's got the room to spare. If your on the fence about these types of campers, get one you won't regret it. Show less

We chose this KZ Escape due to it's open floorplan. Two years later we are still discovering issues since buying it brand new in 2022. Plumbing around toilet and water tank had to be tightened to avoid leaking the first week. All window shades had to be reattached due to poor installation. The slide out has had multiple retraction issues. The motors have to be overridden and the slide out manually pushed in/out. In addition it was discovered that a manufacturers shop rag had been left in the seal on top of the slide causing the slide to leak when it rains. Just this week (March 2024) we wondered why the dining table looked warped. Turns out the adhesive used to cover the table with "wallpaper" has failed. The entire table wallpaper comes off now. Let's not forget last year when the family was out of town except one. He just happened to go outside and saw that the battery had caught fire. Thankfully he was able to remove the propane tank before it exploded causing the rv to burn to the ground. This is just a small list of issues on top of the lack of customer service on every end concerning our RV. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER KZ RV. Show less

The taxa mantis was our first travel trailer. We loved it's Goldilocks size, perfect for our two children on weekend trips. It always felt like you were camping vs traveling with a house but still very comfortable for three seasons in Colorado. No really cons to think of. It's not intended for hardcore off road adventures. Show less

We have owned our Rockwood Roo 235S for over a year now and have used it at least 10 times. If it is a hybrid you're looking for, look no further. This unit is the best equipped, user friendly trailer that we could've hoped for. With the unobstructed floor plan, once you open up the end bedrooms it feels like a 30' unit. The fit and finish is great and the amenities are plenty. With both an inside and outside kitchen that each have a refrigerator/freezer and a burner stove not to mention the outside detachable gas griddle, you will be the hub of your group outings as meal preparation is a breeze. The bathroom is well appointed with adequate storage. The entertainment center is remarkable with everything you could want with the 43" flat screen that swings out to reveal more storage, Bluetooth capabilities for both inside and outside speakers. The faux fireplace is a nice touch and provides enough heat on a cold night. The outside TV mount is perfect. While storage is somewhat limited by the fact that it is a hybrid, it has been maximized by the design engineers. The Bluetooth controls for the slide-out and awning work flawlessly. The mattresses are heated and fans and AC vents keep you cool at night. The mattresses like any fold down bed are a bit thin but we added foam toppers that remedied that. The only other thing I would've wished for would've been electric leveling jacks but me cordless drill with a 3/4" socket does just fine. All in all, I can't recommend this trailer enough. Shop around as some dealers are more greedy than others but you will not be disappointed with your purchase. Show less

Bought a jayco x213. I will never buy another Jayco. This trailer is a lemon. Bought it from Hiemstra trailers in London Ontario. Their warranty is bad. This trailer’s electrical was never connected properly, the furnace broke last year. The only thing we have not replaced is the water heater. The intake for furnace will not work and jayco do not back up their product Show less

our roof split on the back of the trailer. we never hit anything with it , it just split on the bend .We noticed it when the split was about a ft long and they refused a warranty claim. this will be a huge problem as water will starts to enter the rear wall. love the trailer but the factory warranty will keep me from ever buying a Sonic by Venture again.

Roof seal was incorrectly layed missing the front/sidewall joint on the right corner where water collected and seeped into walls causing the front portion to separate from the sides and outside walls to warp. Contacted Palomino really just for a suggestion on how to fix and they just put the blamed on me saying I didn't follow the owners manual and reseal it twice a year. Didn't offer any type of solution, just a not our problem attitude. Keep in mind the seal didn't fail, the craftsmanship and QC failed. Also low score on the floor layout as a friend has the same style of camper made by Keystone and it has twice the storage capacity. Show less
