We purchased a 2023 Vibe rear kitchen in October 2022. Love the floor plan, beautiful to look at . We have used the camper 9 times and in August of 2024 we went to use the over the bed cabinets and saw that the "wood look" paper was peeling from the sides of the cabinet. Looking further we found the same paper peeling in various places including the entire top of the pull out section. We called the dealer who said it was no longer under warranty. My husband called Forest River directly and they said oh yeah, we had a bad batch of glue. Two days later we found the entire bedroom closet door and jam had fallen off the wall. There is a crack in the top corner of the shower wall. The bathroom faucet handles are cracking and falling off. The camper jack fell down when we were coming home from a trip - scraping the highway all the way home. We had to buy and install a new one. The kitchen seats broke with the first use as the screws were not completely in the correct place. We have since had to reinforce both booth bottoms. Just one issue after another. I have never been so disappointed in such poor use of materials and workmanship for something that we still owe $30,000 on. We paid $50,000. What a complete waste of hard earned money. Do NOT buy a Forest River product!! Show less

The concept is nice, but the frame design is lousy. Towing at a near level profile with a balanced load, the suspension is crappy as contents so not ride with any stability and doors fling open and food and clothes and everything else is a scattered mess upon arrival after conservative driving Bottoms out and damages to sewer connections and stabilizers occur. Would never buy this ever if we had known Show less

I purchased the RV because we liked the floorplan and it had lots of room to bring our entire family. I thought Jayco was known to be a quality manufacturer, but unfortunately this was not the case. The first issue I had was the awning started to pull away from the trailer on the one end. We found there was a recall for such a problem so brought the trailer in to be looked at. Jayco denied the claim and said they would not fix or replace the awaning. At this point the trailer was under 1 year old and was only used twice. We never leave the awning out when not at out site and immediately bring it in if it gets windy. Yet the manufacturer still claimed it was not their issue. The next MAJOR issue we just recently found was a bubble on the roof. Upon inspection there is also musy spots near the bubble which means there is moisture getting under the roofing material. Again, we brought the trailer in and Jayco denied to warranty the work. I would never recommend purchasing a Jayco trailer and wish I had went with Grand Design like we were originally looking at.

This camper has served us well. Very well built, sturdy. You truly don’t know that it’s back there while hauling. Only issue we have found is the cheap scissor jacks they put on. Do recommend buying different ones. Spend 33,000 on a camper these should be better quality. Show less

We love this trailer. The interior height was a huge draw for us since we're a tall family, tallest being 6'4" with no issues walking around inside. We were most interested in boondocking and the set up was perfect for this. The dual access and higher clearance was a huge draw for overall stability for off road sites and longer road trips. The solar panel and huge clean, grey and black tanks allowed us to stay out longer without having to dumpf. The residential queen bed allowed us to put a real queen mattress on the bed to maximize our comfort. The bunks have been great for our kids. This trailer has so much storage space inside, we never maxed it out. Ample space for food, clothes, toys and linens. The kitchen is small but anything bigger would have taken away from living space and added more weight to the trailer. We love this trailer. It does not disappoint. And having issues with warranty and Forest River or dealerships is common among all trailers. When we purchased, we did a full inspection with an independent inspector. They found a major defect in the slide out window. The dealership fixed it before we took ownership. But we know trailers are not built like cars as someone else mentioned. The quality isn't excellent in order to keep the weight of the trailer low. But the interior aesthetic was pleasing to us and any flaws are minor. Any work we've had done in the 3 years we've owned the trailer has been done by us or an independent contractor as we don't want to wait for warranty and dealership wait times. That said, we haven't had any warranty failures on our trailer. This is a great trailer that allows us access to the outdoors while also providing us the comforts of home. Great for full hook ups or dispersed camping. You can have it all in this trailer. Show less

Do not buy a keystone product. My 20 23 passport has been nothing but a hunk of s*** since I've bought it. I am working in a disaster area on the Virginia and North Carolina line and have been down here for about 4 weeks The air conditioning is out for the fourth time this year. The refrigerator was out all last year. Tonight is supposed to get down to 30 and now the heater is out. The side of the camper is pulling loose and the awning motor has broken. I have used this thing successfully 19 days and last year and a half. Now I'm going to have to drag off this job working in the disaster area because I have no heat. Keystone needs to get their act together they used to be a great camper now they are the Yugo of the camper industry. I need to know where to drop this hunk of s*** off at in Elkins Indiana so they can see what type of crap they're putting out there on the road. There needs to be some type of consumer relations or class action lawsuit against s*** like this. Show less

I've owned this RV for a little over two months now and so far I am very pleased my selection. It has everything i was looking for and I feel like it was a good value for the money. I really like the layout and floorplan with the bunkhouse. I definitely would recommend! Show less

When I initially saw this travel trailer I liked it. It had twin beds which for me was a hug sell. So I took a chance on the RV, the OVR Expedition. It was the biggest mistake I made, and also from the moment I took it off the lot I had a feeling but I stuck with it. When I finally settled I started looking over the RV and there were screws sticking out, missing sealant, uneven walls, doors, windows leaking, incorrectly labeled tanks and recently I found that the roof is not painted. That’s right it is a bare piece of aluminum, no treatment nothing so a few signs of rust here and there. I waited months for this to supposedly have been built “for me” but they failed tremendously. Trying to get a hold of someone in customer service or warranty is all via email by proxy instagram messaging and even then not much help. Let’s just say it’s all a failure on my part and well I wish somehow there was a way to get rid of this crap I am still paying on. 😟 Show less

In 2018 we bought this Heartland Wilderness 27.5. BRAIN NEW. To start with. We found issues when we did the walk through on it. The dealer said NO problem we'll schedule to fix them. Couldn't get a spot scheduled for six mths. When it was about time to get the repairs. The dealer was moving their shop so we were put off for 4 mths. waiting to get a spot, again 6 mths. out. Now the warranty is off. And we've experienced a leak in one of the slides. And the screws at the front roof seem are popping. And nails in the paneling are popping. Windows leaking. No problem we had paid for the extended warranty. So we thought. Then we were told that the manufactured defects aren't covered by extended warranty. Meanwhile more problems. When we did get it into the shop. The dealer spent 4 mths blowing smoke UOA and only connected 2 lights that had not worked from day one. At that point they were closing their shop because of Covid. Since then we've fixed some of the roof leeks ourself. And started to work on some of the other problems. When upgrading lighting we've discovered no insulation in a lot of the ceiling. Same thing in walls. Hole stud spaces with NO insulation at all. In inspecting windows leeks we've found more broke screws. Like in the roof. Seems like over torking was popular everywhere. We had bought this trailer for OUR retirement. Paid top dollar thinking we were getting a quality trailer. WE DID NOT. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TRAILER OR THIS MANUFACTURE FOR ANYTHING. Show less

We bought this unit new in 2018. We were impressed with the Murphy bed, outdoor kitchen and large bathroom. The quality seemed ok for the low price. I spent my career in construction and hvac service so the couple of small issues that I saw I knew I could resolve without getting the dealer or manufacturer involved. Little did I realize six years later how poorly thought out the build quality of these units were. I have a hard time believing that these units were actually built to leak from underneath the frame. The entire width and about 24” inches in of the rear of the unit’s plywood floor was completely rotted out. As I got into taking out the rotten wood I saw that these units are designed to leak water when ever it was towed in the rain. This went on with no obvious signs of water intrusion for six years until one day i put my hand down on the floor of the outdoor kitchen and it pushed through the plywood. I am having to tear out the outdoor kitchen, the bath vanity and water heater in order to replace all the water damage. Fortunately I have the ability to do the work myself so I’m lucky there but I would never recommend Sonic or any Venture product again. I have also removed all Venture/Sonic badging. My wife and I have enjoyed many camping adventures in this unit so when I’m done with reno we’ll be back out in our new, water resistant/proof, no name travel trailer. Show less
