Venture RVpage=2 Folding Trailer reviews

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

My 2022 Venture Sonic Lite SL 169 VRK is a dream rv, I can’t say enough about all the features, craftsmen ship, and overall quality. The only issue I have and it’s a relatively large one and it’s the factory installation of the front automotive star gazing window. The window was just slapped in without any due care and attention resulting in it being crooked and susceptible to leaks. This isn’t just my Sonic, it’s all Sonics with the front window and how these units passed factory inspections is beyond me. The frustration I have is it not being on warranty. If your looking to purchase Sonic with a front window then inspect it and have it fixed before sighing on the dotted line. Show less

Great RV! Had no major issues with it. Routine maintenance is all that is needed. Great brand! We enjoy how much storage space there is throughout the camper. Overall great RV. Only complaint is we wish the speakers on the outside would be closer to the door. Show less

Purchased new Sonic X 2021 tt. Great floor plan and can sleep 8. Had several warranty claims that were paid no issues with manufacturers warranty. Replaced schwintec slide out and our axels. After all the bugs worked out we have a great camper that we really enjoy. Our trailer has a complicated solar package that works great. It has the Go Power 2000 IC withe 4 100 w panels. You will need someone to teach you how to program the system or watch videos put out by go power. They have a 800 phone number you can call. They are great help and will walk you through set up and answer any questions. Show less

We purchased this up on high recommendations from an individual who had done a lot of research. After purchasing this I discovered that a 90° wall was separating from the outer wall, when standing in the shower it felt like you were going to fall through the shower floor because there was no flooring where they cut out for the drain. The wall issue I have not addressed yet. I discovered two weeks ago that I had a leak the leak was a compartment door because the compartment door is not pushed back against the siding like it should be therefore the sealant kept pulling loose. Rotted the floor and had to replace it along with ceiling the door until I can get it fixed more permanently. Tonight while cleaning up the mess from replacing the portion of bad floor I noticed that the microwave cabinet is separating from the top cabinet. Not sure yet just why this is happening but when I pull the microwave out I'm sure I will see why. Another issue I discovered this evening was the same discoloration on the vinyl at the door that was at the compartment door that had been leaking. I don't know yet if I have a leak there and if I do just where is it at. I really wanted this particular camper in the wife kept trying to steer me away from it and now I know why because it's been a lemon. Show less

We bought a 2024 Venture SportTrek STT 343VBH in April of 2024. Camped in the camper 3 times with no issues. Pull the camper into the driveway to prep for Labor Day weekend camping trip and the Furion refrigerator inside isn’t working. Read some forums about these refrigerators and seems to be a common problem with a fuse in the back of the refrigerator. Anyone else experience this with Furion refrigerator Show less

Since I purchased my Sonic I’m very impressed with the layout, craftsmanship , lots of standard equipment that other pull trailers do not have. Tows great behind my 2022 Toyota 4Runner. The dealership was friendly fast and efficient and always wanting to help and answer all my questions. Very pleased and highly recommend . Stephen Show less

I’ve owned many rv’s in the past and I must say my Sonic is far above the rest. Other brands have options you pay for but with the Sonic they come standard from electric lite jacks to black tank flush system to two exterior cable outlets to outdoor shower and the list goes on. It has great curb appeal and tows like a dream behind my Toyota 4Runner. The floor plan and high end finishing make this trailer a winner. Show less

I’ve owned many types of rv’s over the years and by far my Sonic is the best of all. I haven’t had any issues whatsoever and it pulls great behind my Toyota 4Runner. Many other brands out there have options that come standard with the Sonic. If you maintain and look after your investment then you’ll have many years of great camping memories. Just a causion, if an rv doesn’t come equipped with a latter then the roof is not meant for walking on, which I’ve never done. Show less

I've owned many rv’s in the past and I must say my 2022 Sonic Lite 169 VRK that I’ve owned for two years is a dream rv. I’ve had zero issues with it probably because I take care of it. No matter what brand of rv you purchase you’re going to have the odd issue. It’s very important to “maintain” your rv and don’t neglect it. And remember if an rv does not come equipped with a ladder then don’t walk on it. Show less
