feedback on Trail-Cruiser by R-Vision

[jodann]

Am about to upgrade to a leftover '04 Trail-Cruiser TT Model TC26QBH. Any feedback on this model or Trail-Cruisers in general would be greatly appreciated before I take the plunge.

Thanks, Jodann

Search this forum (and lightweights) for other comments on Trail Lite, Trail Bay and R-Vision. You will find a love or hate relationship with these brands and this company. Then look close at the actual unit you are going to buy. Open every door, get down and look in the storage areas. Look in all overhead areas and check for signs of leaks. Look at where any wiring is exposed. If you feel you can live with the quality of this unit, then go ahead and buy it.

I learned my lesson about ordering TTs the hard way. I only saw one Trail Lite and it looked alright to me so I ordered one. It came in with more options than I ordered. On PDI the awning opened with a hole in it. Later it developed several leaks in the front end - cost me over 2K to repair - factory would not budge on warranty even though the problem was a faulty roof seam- the last 3" were not sealed properly.

I recently traded it for an Arctic Fox 22H. I found a lot that had several different units for me to look at and bought one after spending about an hour going over it from stem to stern.
This is my fourth TT and probably my last unless I can convince the wife to full time when we retire

There is an entire website devoted to RVision owners. You should be able to get all your questions about Trail Cruisers answered there.

This is great place to get a biased opinion. Not unlike the AF Nash or any other site devoted to one brand, the people there tend to be very much pro that brand.

I am not sure about the reference to "the people there" assuming you are talking about the R-vision camping club.
But "the people there" that I know are more than happy to answer your questions or help in any way they can.
Some are happy with their product and some are not.
Some have had no problems with their TT and some have.
If anything I feel it is a completely helpful site and a great way of making new friends and finding out information about even more than your travel trailer. ie. campgrounds, towing, etc.

My comment was based on observations of several different groups that are mfg oriented - as opposed to IRV2 that has no brand orientation.
It was not directed at the RVision group in particular.
