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.

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!

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.

Purchased a new 2009 21' Trail Cruiser and just had a blowout with less than 4000 miles on tires and cracks appearing in all treads. DOT numbers indicate all tires manufactured in 1997.

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.....

My wife and I purchased a 1999 28ft Trail lite used=If this was a boat we would have sunk. It takes on water==delaminates on the sides==rots the flooring==one thing after another==indicater gauges are worthless==your money would be better spent on any other unit by another mfg.==will probably strip it and make a snowmobile trailer out of it==enough said....

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.

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.

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.

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.
