First RV Purchase - Need Advice - Venture RV Stratus
Greetings all!
I am looking to purchase our first travel trailer. We have been tent camping and some AC and a shower would be nice! I went to our local RV stores and have browsed around and we think we landed on the Venture RV Stratus, model 231VRB.
Problem is, I cannot seem to find much in the way of reviews of this unit. Does anyone have any experience with this unit, or their parent manufacturer, KZ-RV? Interested in any input you may be able to share. As I said, this is our first RV and will be a long time purchase. We expect to use it about 60 nights a year, with several thousand miles per year, so we want a good bang for our buck, but it has to last us and not fall apart. It will be used frequently. Our goal is to visit all of the national parks we can over the next few years plus small trips in between. We are in Texas so a warm climate, but would also like to potentially take to the mountains in the winter at times for short stays.
If you don't have any experience with this, I would still be interested in what you recommend from personal experience brand and model wise. It needs to sleep my wife and I as well as our two 60lb dogs. We have max tow of 8,000 pounds bumper tow only, and I would like to keep it to 7,000 gross.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me!
