Cargo Trailer reviews

GREAT LITTLE TRAILER! EVERYTHING ONE NEEDS, NOTHING ONE DOES NOT! LIKE WITH KIDS.... BIG KIDS, BIG PROBLEMS! BIG TRAILERS...BIG PROBLEMS! SMALL AND UNCOMPLICATED IS BEST! SIMPLE LAYOUT AND COMPACT. GREAT TRAILER FOR A SINGLE OR A COUPLE STILL IN LOVE! AND ITS 4 SEASON WITH SEALED HEATED UNDERBELLY. TRADITIONALLY BUILT BUT GOOD ENOUGH. I HAVE UPGRADED THIS TRAILER CONSIDERABLY AND MADE IT EVEN MORE COMFORTABLE. BUT FOR THE PRICE, STOCK ITS GOOD TO GO! EASY TO TOW AND PLENTY OF COMPARTMENT SPACE. ONLY ISSUE I HAD WAS LEAKING WATER HEATER OUT OF THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. I REPLACED VALVE WITH AN UPGRADED ONE AND DOUBLE TAPED THE THREADS.. AT SAME TIME, I REPLACED ANODE ROD. A/C WORKS GREAT AND 20,000 BTU HEATER KEEPS IT WARM EVEN DOWN TO 17 DEGREES. AND NO FREEZE UP! ALOT OF BANG FOR THE BUCK! Show less

As I'm reading reviews while searching for our next RV, I decided it would be worthwhile to share our experience with our current camper. New to the camping world, we purchased our first trailer in 2021- a brand new Alta 2600KRB. We did extensive research on these and this floorplan with the giant rear bathroom was scarce to say the least. We took a chance on a covid model and apparently got an absolute gem compared to some of the others we've heard stories about. Our only experience utilizing the factory warranty was when the solar panel controller fried our battery, which we were later told was wired incorrectly from the factory. One of the LED nosecap lights was dead when we bought it, but we used it so infrequently that we chose to ignore that until the battery issue necessitated involving the manufacturer. East to West gave us no problems getting the battery replaced and wiring corrected, as well as replacing the nose cap light. Our refrigerator also failed, but it was after the 1 year warranty expired. Home Depot makes a residential that looks identical and fits in the exact footprint of the original, for about 1/4 the cost. Its been in there working flawlessly for the last 3 years now. We also replaced the china bomb tires with Goodyear Endurances the first chance we got. They just looked and felt cheap, but we were lucky enough to experience no blowouts in the 1200ish miles we had them before we could replace. In the nearly 4 years of ownership and 6500+ miles we have towed this trailer, these are the only issues we have experienced. Owning an RV requires a general understanding of the hurricane-like violence that the unit goes through everytime you drag it down the highyway and expecting to need to tack trim pieces back on every once in a while, or tighten a fitting here and there. We made this purchase expecting to see some quality issues based on the other reviews of covid-made units, but have been more than pleasantly surprised. We are now looking to upgrade to a 5th wheel for the extra space needed for longer/farther trips, and based on our experience with our Alta, we are looking at East to West 5th wheel options first.

Bought this trailer new in 2021 and absolutely love it. Great layout and plenty of storage. Love the large closet at the entry that doubles as a pantry. Nice size bathroom with a lot of cabinet space. Outdoor kitchen is ok...dump that Colman grill it's junk. We got the upgraded AC, frameless windows and theater seating. Quality - There was some trim that needed staples touched up and one trim piece that was cut short all taken care of by the dealer. We only put 10,000 miles on it so far with half of that last year after I retired. Show less

This is my first RV purchase. I am a 66 year old male who has been in sales my entire life. Because I am able to do business anywhere I have cell phone coverage, I chose to ‘take my show on the road’. And love it! So I purchased a 2019 Nu Camp Tab 320-S Boondock Lite Tear-Drop Travel Trailer from a local Camping World in San Diego, CA; not knowing ANYTHING about the Nu Camp brand name, or its companies history in RV business. The first thing I noticed as I became familiar with all the campers equipment was the quality of all the woodwork. REAL SOLID (MAPLE] in my 2019 model. When I walked into a BRAND NEW 2024 400 series. Bigger, newer, beautiful right? Right. Except you immediately notice laminate materials are now being used in their newer models. I’m not sure why except for obviously less cost. Less weight of course. Definitely noticeable. Overall, I love my Nu Camp teardrop Tab 320. I will be upgrading to the 360 soon, but hope this information is helpful. NOTE: I know that the newer campers from Nu Camp are now using lithium batteries in there camper builds. This weight increase is likely significant enough to change the campers weight distribution. Something I will confirm with Nu Camp Inc. Show less

Worse trailer I have ever had. Poor quality inside. Rear window rubber seal came off. Locks not strong enough to keep drawers closed during travels. Gas Range burners keep coming apart. Furnace has never worked properly. Leaky water furnace. Radio stopped working, had to be replaced. I bought the trailer brand new, it has been in the shop 4 times now in less than a year. I dont know if other model Lance trailers have had the same problems I have encountered. If you are looking for a travel trailer, I suggest you stay away from this model. Show less

I liked the fact that the twin beds can be made into a Queen bed. I also like the dual wheel set up giving us better safety on the road. We have never had any issues the appliances heat, refrigerator, stove, etc. no complaints. It’s an easy towable trailer. We did put a back up camera on the trailer for easier parking but that’s an option we added Show less

I have owned three different travel trailers over the years. Each by a different manufacturer. This trailer is the best built, most comfortable, free from problems, easy to set up and use, trailer I have owned. It tows so easily with an F150 or similar vehocle. It is in mint condition, and it comes with an anti-sway, load-bearing hitch, as well as everything else needed for your trip. Show less

This trailer hits the sweet spot in terms of space and functionality. The queen-sized bed is comfortable, with ample storage around it, and the large windows provide great natural light. The living area is spacious enough for lounging and eating, with a convertible couch and dinette. The TV is perfectly placed for viewing from both, and the air conditioning and heating system kept me comfortable year-round. The kitchen offers enough counter space for cooking, and the appliances (fridge, stove, oven, microwave) are well-suited for preparing meals. The bathroom is compact but functional, with a decent-sized shower and storage for toiletries. The 26KRB proved to be a reliable home on wheels. The trailer tows easily, even in windy conditions, and the construction feels solid. The axles and suspension have held up well, and the exterior still looks great. The electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems performed flawlessly. The air conditioning is efficient, the furnace keeps me warm in winter, and the hot water heater works without a hitch. Towing it with a half-ton truck was no problem; it tracked well on the road. The brakes, tires, and bearings have all been reliable. After using the trailer for roughly 6-8 months, I can confidently recommend the 2020 Silver Lake 26KRB to anyone looking for a comfortable, reliable, and practical travel trailer. It's a well-built unit that balances comfort and functionality without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a solo traveler or a couple, the layout is perfect for long stays. It’s not the most luxurious RV out there, but it offers everything you need to live comfortably on the road. The reliability and low maintenance make it a great option for full-time RVers or anyone planning extended stays. Show less

Just letting you know that we call our 2023 Airstream Bambi 19cb trailer "Shiny Lemon" This is what I tell everyone I meet about Airstreams: I have a 2023 Airstream Bambi 19cb trailer that I bought new in October 2022. Almost every system in it has failed. Batteries went out at 10 months because of a faulty design in the WfCo 8955lis converter. I replaced the batteries and converter at my own expense as I had a trip planned for a month of travel in a few days and working with the dealer would have meant canceling the trip. The furnace failed multiple times for various reasons but several times just because a part called the sail switch failed. Cabinets fell off the wall on two occasions. Our Girard water heater started leaking at 2 years and two weeks. Parts warranty expired at 2 years. We chose to put in a Truma AquaGo Comfort water heater partly because people love them and I'm hopeful it will last longer than the 2 years our Girard water heater lasted. This was last week. Generally, the components now used by Thor (who owns Airstream) have been cost reduced and manufactured by conglomerate companies, like dometic, with quality suffering. We no longer recommend Airstream to anyone. Vitrifigo refrigerators replaced by Isotherm. If you are unfortunate and have a Vitrafrigo refrigerator, immediately purchase a temperature monitor so that you can log the temperature over time. Refrigerators need to keep the temperature below 40 F and mine couldn't do this in hot weather. You won't know unless you make the effort to find this out with a temperature logger. Vitrafrigo refrigerators only have a replacement warranty for 1 year so you need to find this within 12 months. Ours will be replaced next week as our dealer went from fixing the Vitrafrigos inability to stay cold to an inability to turn off when the correct temperature is reached. Even with the control knob rotated into the off position! This over the course of of many return visits from June to December! Just for the refrigerator! Lead batteries replaced by Battleborn. Also pricy. But worth it. Skip the Airstream. If you do buy an Airstream, try to get a precovid one. 2019 or earlier. If you follow my footsteps and buy new. Use it a lot for the first year. Bring it back to the dealer repeatedly to get things fixed. Repeatedly. Buy a temperature sensor that logs the temperature in your refrigerator. Get your refrigerator fixed if it can't keep the temperature below 40F. Most subsystem warrantees are only a year. Many things on the Airstream are only a month, such as the door not closing. Holes in the roof are not covered by warranty, at least the two holes in our roof were not covered about 18 months after purchase. Fantastic fan lids have a defect in that they fracture where they are screwed into the lid. I glued a wood block to address this as new lids are backordered because so many are breaking. Buy a 2019 or earlier, better yet, buy a Lance or some other brand not made by Thor. -Stephen Witte - Show less

Pulls well behind a 5000lb-rated tow vehicle. A bit heavy for 19ft trailer due to the slide. But still only 3400lbs. Spacious with slide out. Rear bed placement gives a feel of a second room, just draw a curtain across and separate the bed from the rest of the trailer. Show less
