Wind River by Outdoors RV TT

We are seriously looking at buying a Wind River by Outdoors RV model 250 rlsw. It pretty much has everything we are looking for in a TT. The only con it has is a turn table 26 inch TV. That is about it.

The model is only a few years old and I have not read testimonials from previous owners about them.

Is there anyone out there that has any experience with the Wind River Outdoors RV line that can give me their opinions?

Thank you.

  • I have been looking at these as a possible replacement for my Sunnybrook. Wind River and Blackstone lines are alu frame const, the others are wood. I really like the 250RLSW in the Wind river line also. I have spoken to the factory and they seem to be nice people along with the local dealer here in So Cal. Frames are built by Northwoods factory that is just down the road. Axles are 5200 pound units but they stay with 15 inch wheels, load D. Roof Truss is light weight steel. They look to be a upscale mid size TT, right up my alley. I will be checking out the construction and fit and finish soon.
  • In general Outdoors are better made then average. The ownership is made of most of the same people that own Northwoods (Arctic Fox, etc). The core of the workforce for Outdoors came from the Northwoods family.

    If it's been a well cared for rig, and the price is right, sounds like you already think well enough of it.
  • We have a 26RLS Timber Ridge. We have had it less than a year and taken 4 trips. the most recent a 5 day from Vacaville to Mackerricker SP. That is hardly enough time to get a full evaluation but we have been happy with the overall quality and the response from the dealer when we have had a couple of issues.

    Both of the rear chairs have been replaced without delay. The construction is light and did not hold up to a "full figured" individual. We will be replacing them with a Lazy Boy in the future.

    A drawer in the dinette slid out in the curves and the drawer front was damaged and replaced.

    On the trip to Mackerricker, the refrigerator would not stay lighted (?) on gas for more than about 6 hours. It restarted fine but it was a bit worrisome for this new RVer. That will be taken care of tomorrow.

    Overall, we love the trailer. The TV is a bit small and I'm trying to figure out a change and the addition of a smaller unit for the bedroom. DW likes to doze off to TV and I am a night owl.

    Good Luck, Outdoors RV seems to make a quality unit.
