Vanleigh RV Vilano reviews

It feels like a home! Real hardwood cabinets and trim throughout. Soft close doors. A soft touch ceiling to quiet the outside noise and insulate, ceiling fan and cozy fireplace. Love all of the little features you normally find in an expensive diesel pusher. Even though Vanleigh division of Tiffin doesn’t make these anymore they’ve been amazing at customer support, parts and service. You can tell it’s a Tiffin product! Show less

This RV is everything you need and nothing you don't. Well built. Great floor plan. Easily 3/4 ton towable. Luxurious. Well insulated. Full-time rated. I lived in mine full-time for two years and wish I still could. Now I have the ultimate weekend/vacation toy. Get one, you won't be sorry! Show less

The Vanleigh Vilano is a quality built. true all season, luxury RV. Looks very high end, with real wood cabinetry, a large shower with seat and lots of head room with skylight. The 9' ceilings in the living area make it feel so spacious and the long center island is a bakers dream. Came with a king memory foam mattress that I absolutely love. I lived in mine fulltime for 3 years and loved it! It was my home on wheels until life took me in another direction. Like any RV, things will go wrong but the service department was always prompt, courteous, and took care of my needs without issue. Originally part of the Tiffin family of RV's but recently purchased by Thor. (Disclaimer: I rated the driving/towing a 5 because the site made me put a rating however I always used a towing service and did not pull the rig myself.) Show less

We've had our 5th wheel now since 2019. When it was built great attention was paid to quality control. Around 2020, I think things started to go downhill a bit with Vanleigh & they started to cheap out on cabinetry (plastic vs. wood), components & workmanship! We feel really fortunate to have had this experience with this unit as nothing major has ever gone wrong. Even before we beefed up the suspension, it pulled like a dream. There's about 19K miles on it & no problems at all except for cosmetic furniture breakdown which happens in all RVs that have a particular faux leather but that is not a fault of Vanleigh. Great service center in Tishomingo MS too! We will miss vacationing around in our little apartment on wheels. Show less

very poor workmanship most want to blame covid~ it has nothing to do with workmanship if you have a job to put something in then it should be the same work before or after covid, so many issues, screens, windows cracked, flooring coming up, layout really stinks all RVs should get public imput, wood cut with dull blades can see the torn jagged edges, maybe a good thing they did go out of business ~their service center even stinks!

I'll start woth what I like. The finishes. Our first trip in this RV, the bottom of one of the cabinets came down. It was just pinned up there. So everything in the cabinet was all over thebrakes. The main closet in the front also came off the back wall and all outer clothes were on the floor. We tried fixing, don't know how it will fair when we leave. Then the 50amp brakes wasn't wired correctly so we had to fix that and get a new braker. The wires under the camper are a total birds nest. You'd think they would be neater. We also had several water leaks that we had to fix because they use cheap plastic parts for the joints. We had two AC units that were freezing up constantly. The roof was laying on top of the returns which wasn't allowing air to flow. So we had to open the vents on the ceiling and put blocking in to create airflow. However, they were still freezing. So we got a tech to come out and he found that two of them had a bad switch? If you send a bill to Vanleigh, they will only cover parts and labor. Mind you, we're living in BFE Texas, because I work on wind farms. So I only got less than half of the bill back. And you better have everything spelled out on the bill they give you when you turn it in or they won't pay it. Oh...it's also hotter than Hadese down here. They claim this is a 4 season RV, but it's not. They basically insulate with bubble wrap. Also, the toilet is electric and we had to unplug the sensor because it kept saying the black tank was full when it wasn't. And would stop flushing the toilet. We got this RV because Vanleigh had a good reputation. But they don't care that your brand new RV is falling apart. Horrible!! Will NEVER buy one of these again!! End rant. It's not worth the price tag!!! Not by a long shot! Show less

We had as I said the greatest fifth wheel or at least I thought so until Hurricane Ian. We were in love with this as our second home in Florida. Six slides with the living room in front, a large kitchen with so much room, bathroom with two sinks and a bedroom with a king size bed and huge closets and so so many cabinets. Even with a 130 mph winds she stood her ground. As other rv‘s and fifth wheels floated in the almost five foot storm surge she held fast. After the storm the outside was untouched but her basements filled with seawater. Her electronic controls compromised. About six inches of seawater came inside and with her slide controls down on floor of the master bedroom was destroyed and without any emergency release her slides would not open. We could only retrieve items in just a few cabinets in the kitchen, panty and us squeezing our arms to get to the cabinets by the massive television in the front living room and retrieve things in in the tall cabinets. We lost a lot of personal items because of the failure of getting any slide open. Our insurance company totaled this fine lady. I feel Vanleigh should really look and change where to place the mother board of the electronics and the main brains to the slides and put a emergency release on a few of the slides. There is not one fifth wheel built to match what we had and now Vanleigh doesn’t even have a six slide rig, shame on you Show less

Vanleigh's marketing is deceptive. This rv is advertised as 4 season ,full time living. I live in northern Michigan and have had multiple freeze ups and during temps at or below 15 degrees we can't get the living room above 60 using multiple space heaters. Heated tanks haven't helped a bit. Quality is mediocre. I could have gotten the same for less money with another brand. Show less

The Vanleigh Vilano 369FB is a one of the best floor plans we found and the quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. A must see! Starting in the master bath, you have a washer/dryer, shower, two sinks and a real toilet. The closet space is as good as any in this size rig. The master bedroom is roomy and has a spacious 7 drawer dresser with custom armoire. Walking down the steps into the living area, you find a very comfortable space for daily living. Residential fridge, island, 1/2 bath, dining table and seating area. The cabinet space is more than one could ask for and the quality of the wood cabinets are really wood., not composite. The Vanleigh line is backed by a service center that is second to none. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful when it's needed most. Show less

This 5th wheel was build by "Tiffin" Vanleigh and has the same quality that their high dollar motorhomes have. Solid wood throughout the unit, hydr jacks,, three a/c's with heat pump, fire place, lots of storage inside and under, on demand water heater, double pain windows, king bed and a lot more. Because of our age and health we are getting out of RVing. Show less
