Venture RV 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

We have been proud owners of an Alliance RV 385FL for the past 3 years. Like any RV ever made, things are not always perfect. But, our decision to choose Alliance RV has proven, time and time again, to be the best choice in our RV Life. The focus on employee and owner satisfaction is unmatched in our experience. We have had a few interactions with the service teams at Alliance RV and we would not trust our coach to anyone else. This company truly goes above and beyond to help its owners. Thank you Alliance RV. Allies for Life! 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

We’ve had an awesome time with our Paradigm 382RK! The rear living floor plan is hands down our favorite feature—it feels super spacious, and the layout is just perfect for how we like to travel. We love having a half bath, and the master suite has tons of storage, which is a huge plus when you’re on the road for long stretches. We decided to go with the 8K axles to get more carrying capacity, and it’s been a game-changer for us. The independence suspension also makes for such a smooth ride; you can really tell the difference, especially on rougher roads. And honestly, the full-body paint? It’s a head-turner! We catch ourselves just standing there, admiring how good it looks. But beyond the RV itself, the folks at Alliance have been amazing. They’ve been so helpful from the start, always going out of their way to make sure we’re happy. It’s hard to find that level of customer service these days. All in all, we’re absolutely loving this coach, and we’d 100% recommend it to anyone thinking about getting an RV. It’s been such a great experience for us! 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

my trailer from them has been a nightmare from day one could not get the dealer to help fix it and the manufacturer does not back their junk at all. All they care about is their profit and ripping off people. they build junk to sale and rip-off people 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

Bought mine a year and a half ago and absolutely love it! Built solid. 32 foot is plenty of space and still easy to drive down the road. Mine has two solar panels already installed. Since I purchased this used and 24 years old the rating for Factory warranty/Support is mute, but it made me put in a rating. 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 our unit and have had a lot of trouble which with what we paid we feel we should not. first the quality is horrible, the drawers fall apart the bedroom slide leaks so bad if it’s going to rain we have to pull the slide in the shower head was put together with the water tube too short which made the rain shower nor work properly, very little to no water coming out the front door won’t lock most of the time our floor in the living area in front of yard couch rotted out mind you this rig has not been out much at all and is stored in a concrete floor garage completely enclosed the windows are fogging up the refrigerator shelves and bins have all had to be replaced because they cracked going down the road the cover on the water heater flies off going down the road the wood wrap on the bed falls off etc etc etc and the crossroads company told us to file under our insurance we got no help from the manufacturer nor the dealer which was explorer USA in Denton texas which is now called blue compass something like that same owner different name, hum makes me wonder if maybe they had too many law sutras with the other name. We are so disappointed in both crossroads redwood and the dealer my advise do not pay as much as we di (over100 thousand) we have friends who have a forest river surveyor which is built 10 times better than our redwood it’s not prettier but better quality My advise to crossroads if your going to build crap then price it there and put warnings out “your rig may fall apart going down the road” Show less
