Very happy with the trailer. Super light; can tow behind lighter vehicles; bought the lay out that would work best for us. Put a wax finish on the outside every year and keep it parked on concrete for less exposure to moisture. Finish inside still looks brand new and we inspect twice a year for any damp spots...including underneath.

I am researching trailers with plans on purchasing next year. This one had me excited since I need less weight for the type of camping we do. After reading these complaints I am starting to rethink my plan. :(

I like many of you have been looking for manual for our 2003 22' Trail Lite manual and was finally successful and finding someone who could help me. I went to R-Vision online Support and sent a request to rvtech@navistarrv.com and they were nice enough to send me a scanned pdf of the manual. Evidently the company that made our campers is out of business and this is why it is has been so difficult to find any owner manuals online.

We have the 2008 QBSS 30. It came with a slow leak in the plumbing under the bathroom vanity. It seeped under the tile of the last several years to the point of now making the floor in the bathroom out to in front of the stove spongy and discolored. It's in the shop now, and they repairs are estimated at around $4000.00. Because it was a slow leak from a cracked elbow joint, insurance isn't going to cover it. I wonder if Trail Cruiser will cover a manufacturing flaw? (he types with sarcastic snerk... )

I own a trail lite bantam 17B hybrid. The floor is discolored, and in looking at the linoleum manual, I read that if you left the mini blinds open, the sun will discolor the floor. Nuf said. And I have soft spots in the floor too. I like the size for travelling.

We bougth a 2007 Trailite Rwagon toyhauler in 2008. We have had very good service from it so far. Our toys inlcude a Polaris Ranger, a golf cart and a 2001 Harley Ultra Classic. All will fit in the toyhauler/s 9 and a half foot garage (one at a time of course). We pull it with a 2005 Dodge RAM 1500 quad cab Hemi. The half ton truck has done well with it all loaded with toys and heading into the hills of eastern Kentucky. For those of you who want owner manuals, there isn't one. I got a packet from the dealer with owner manuals for all of the appliances. As for spongy floors, we have not seen this problem, but I suspect that it is because our toyhauler is built with much heavier duty floors.

We bought a 2010 R-Vision trailer. The layout is wacky. The bathroom door opens into the front of the stove. I miss my '70 Kitt Companion with all of the storage space.

Bought a brand new 2011 RVision Super Sport. We are on our second set of tires and will need to replace them before we hit the road again. The tires are wearing on the inside. From what we can tell the Lippert axles are defective. The dealer told us to call Monaco, they told us to call Lippert, Lippert says they don't do recalls and they don't warranty axles for RVision trailers. Buyers beware. Has anyone else experienced this? Right now I'm trying to get the dealer to fix the problem. Still waiting for a call back

Shelley : My husband and I were going to sell our 1999 Bantam Trail Lite, but decided that we needed to fix the soggy spot by the bathroom door!!! O what a mistake!! Does any one have suggestion on how to fix from here!!! We could not believe that even foam rots UGH!!! help we have it on bare floor and have a small pin hole that we can see the pavement below!! What stinks is that it is covered every winter and still this happened. Any suggestion would be helpful!

if it ahs foam like most do, Get a few cans of the spray foam, fill it up not to the top but about 4-5 inches below the floor line, It may have alum cross sections if it does get some rivets lay your sub flooring down the fasten it to the alum, then if your using tiles get some liquid nail spred it on each tile press it firmly down to the flooring let set for a couple of days and you should be ok, I have done 3 of my R-Visons , and now a propblem with the bed room floor, spongy on both sides on the bed, And a tad past the bath room door its a Trail Cruiser 27 ft w/ sofa slide. Many of these have had the same propblems, No leaks what so ever, Glue board and the foam they use, Most will do this after 5-9 yrs . Not smelly or rot or mold just spongy when your walking on it, I know it wont fall though but if you ever want to trade it or sell its will throw a red flag to the buyer, Thought about getting in the storage compartment drill a hole from bottom up not though the floor, And spray foam where its spongy I have heard this will do the job, BUT if the foam has broken down dont see how new foam would raise the spongy part, Oh well worth a try or lay plywood on top of the floor and retile, I know this will resolve this issue,
Happy Camping

My wife and I had a 1999 26-foot Trail Lite, which turned out to be the worst trailer we have owned. The frame bent within six months. The black water tank would never drain properly. Trail Lite's customer service reps told us the problems were our fault because we used the trailer too much, and refused to honor the warranty. The trailer fell apart in less than three years.

We bought a used '05 30' Trail Lite with the back bed, front couch, dinette slide, 2 stools, etc. It's been great. I was worried about quality and a few things aren't perfect but what other brand of RV has a 30' trailer that I could tow with my GMC Sierra 4.8 liter? None. We're very happy.

I just bought 1998 Bantam Lite 17 foot trailer. It was suppose to be in great shape, but found mold and dampness in front nose. Went to tow it to the rv repair and the bottom panel popped out of bottom seam. The strip of wood it was stapled to is rotten. How would I fix it? (Other then sell it)

We bought a used 1998 26ft Traillight. We have towed it to Alaska, South Dakota, and many Northern camping trips. Also had to live in it for 3 months while our house was being built, we have had NO problems and love our trailer. We recommend buying this brand to anyone we meet. We can't say enough good things about this brand. To all the people who have had issues it's really unfortunate but I can tell you Don't turn to a jayco because they are just over priced junk.

They do not offer owners manuals....I had a Bantam and it didn't come with one either. Best bet is to go Camping World, etc... and a standard manual.

Reg & Gail
:
we own a 26 ft Trail Lite travel trailer..... Although we like the light weight, there sure needs to be lots of improvements to be made..One annoying problem is access to the water pump...Ours had a fabric door with a zipper and you guessed it!!..The zipper didn't even last a season...The dealer had a good old Canadian solution by applying duct tape over the opening...lasted one trip on a rainy road as you might imagine.. The dealer service in Brandon is horrible... The tailight blew out and after several attempts to buy a new light I gave up and sourced it a another trailer company.... Presently I am making one from a scrap piece of metal and a piano hinge.. Simple enough but too complicated for R Visio I guess to design something better...Better still...Make the pump accessible from inside the unit instead of crawling under the unit... Interior valances, one by one all fell off from the way they were fastened on the flimsy interior walls.. Other than that we love it and I guess once we get all the defects in design repaired it will probably be ours for many years... It really tows like a breeze with my Dodge Ram with a 5.7 hemi.....

We had a 1999 TrailLite bantam and enjoyed it except for the fact that wwe could not keep tires on it. they began to show wear after 1000 miles and blew out before 2500 miles. inspection showed poor alignment and no way to align them. The dealer replaced the axel under warranty but that did not help. The manufactorer replaced it again with no improvement. we finally had the wheels balanced, did not help so we traded it in. The service was always good but evidently the design was bad.

we bought a 2004 30 ft Trail-Lite and tow it with a Tundra, and get mid-teens. We have had several recurring problems all minir except delam of the front cap. Now getting second replacement. Dealer has been excellent in repairs. OK for a light weight. Look elsewhere for a long term investment though.

we bought a 22 foot r vision travel trailer, and have been pulling it with our 2009 toyota tacoma 2.7 4 cylinder motor, with good results. we averaged 17 miles to the gallon.

We have a 2007 R-Vision Travel Lite 30 ft travel trailer. Generally for the money this is an excellent trailer. But don’t expect the interior fit and finish to match that of more expensive units; as these are just adequate and nothing more. The lack of wardrobe space is an issue, we made note of this before buying the unit; but it has turned out to be a larger issue that we realized. We’ve replaced all the vent covers with “unbreakable” polycarbonate covers; the original vents were destroyed by the Arizona sun in 1 year. The black tank indictor failed at 18 months, we didn’t replace it as we seldom dry camp and we know how long we can camp before we need to dump. A super slide is a must. Rate 4/5.
Keith and June Bowen
:
We have a 2006 R-Vision class B. We downsized from a class A and have not regretted it. Better mileage and easier to drive with the class b, park and store all more than make up for less space. In fact we love the floorplan of the 213 although we don't have a slide. If we were buying again we'd probably go for the 235S which is only a few inches longer but has a slide. We've had very few problems and we've enjoyed using this more than we did the class A.
Tony and Claire Munro
:
We have a 2003 Trail Lite 24 ft and have towed it all over the US. We've had a few problems but our dealings with R-Vision have all been positive. The biggest problem we had was the bathroom door would not close without slamming it. The dealer fixed this after a few attempts (it needed the whole frame redoing). We had a propane leak that was easily fixed and a water leak that was fixed but caused some water damage problems. We had these repaired to our satisfaction. We also had a few minor electrical problems but really we've enjoyed the trailer and think we've had value for money. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 4/5.

:
Some interior items corrected when new under warranty otherwise very good experience. Liveable system for extended time aboard, good handling and powerful. Light colors and hardwood treatment. Easy in and out access All warranty issues handled by authorization of factory through out side of dealership network as no dealer in area. Very prompt and effective. Purchased in Lapeer Michigan owner stored in Louisiana. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 4/5.
