Open Range Roamer Travel Trailer reviews

This is an exceptional camper due to the comfort and functionality provided by its expansive interior and thoughtfully designed slides, which offer both space and natural light. The interior boasts a blend of sophistication and durability, reflecting a high-quality aesthetic that stands the test of time. Enjoy storage solutions seamlessly integrated throughout the camper, enhancing convenience in both the main living area and bedroom. It has the capacity to comfortably  accommodate four individuals, extendable to six. The shower and bathroom also provide the needed space for necessities. The intelligently laid-out kitchen and cooking space further elevated my experience and meal preparation has been made easy in this space. Show less

This RV has it all! For a large family, having two bedrooms is absolutely fantastic. The spacious living room has a gigantic couch that fits everybody comfortably. The quality is top notch. The outdoor kitchen is perfect for hosting friends. Show less

This trailer is like living in a small apartment. The manufacturer thought of everything! Great floor plan, lots of room in the living area for guests, love the kitchen island with bar stools so people can visit while youre preparing meals, roomy bedroom, love that the living area can be closed off from the bathroom and bedroom area, all that, and a cozy electric fireplace for chilly evenings! It’s perfect! Show less

We purchased an Open Range RT291RS in 2013. We had to replace the mattress immediately because we found it uncomfortable. We had to replace the primary A/C within two years. We had to replace the circuit board in the refrigerator within two years. We had an axle catch fire 700 miles from home and had to leave the trailer and then go back to get it when repaired. This cost 1000 dollars and 4 days driving and 4 nights in a motel. One axle was not straight when the trailer was built and this cost $1000 dollars to put on "Correct Track" attachment to correct. The other axle caught fire 1000 miles later and was replaced at the factory with an axle that was too small. We then paid $500 to replace both of the new axles to get higher capacity axles. We were then told that the roof had been installed incorrectly during manufacture and we would need to replace it soon at a cost of $5000.00. The cabinetry in the trailer was fantastic. The trailer was a piece of junk. I am omitting minor problems that showed lack of skilled design. The floor plan was great. It is too bad the trailer was junk. We sold it. Show less

First of I love the layout of this RV. I wish the quality was comparable. We bought this thinking we would keep it for a long time. It was NOT a cheap RV. You pay this kind of money for something you expect some quality. We have owned several RVs and NEVER had this type of problems. Never had any issues really. This is a first for us. First of all the trim around the slides falls off. Which we thought no biggie. He fixed that. No problem. Then we were on vacation June 2016 and the front Slide would NOT go in. The gear box was out. So we had to call someone out to look at it. They confirmed and helped push it in. We got it home. Got appointment to get it fixed and of course had to cancel July 4th plans. Aug 1/16 this was fixed. We called Highland Ridge and we were out of warranty. Of course. Summer of 2018 noticed the recliner, where your head lays was splitting. Sort of peeling. Then noticed the couch was doing that as well. So, we had to replace the furniture in the unit as well. Now This weekend we have just returned from a trip weekend trip just an hour away. They rear slide has done the same thing. Yep. This will have to be fixed and oh the front slide that was fixed in Aug of 2016 they replaced gear box AND motor. It has also tore up and needs fixing as well. So will this be another summer of cancelled plans? We use the unit 3-4 times a year. This should not happen. This slide system is junk. The furniture is junk. We called them today and they said that since we did not call them during the warranty period that they were not responsible. So their customer service is terrible. Show less

Very comfortable traveling in this RV with family on short trips to the shore as well as vacationing in it with my girlfriend. Evenings sitting outside under the awning after enjoying our barbecues were relaxing and memorable, as were all the people we met enjoying the RVing lifestyle. Indoor was just as comfortable and having 1.5 bathrooms helped. The larger bathroom had it's own set of sliding doors sealing it off from the bedroom, which also could be made entirely private. The double refrigerator and freezer came in handy on our vacations. The bike rack enabled us to carry 2 bikes and the hitch came in handy for towing a utility trailer which housed my Harley. Many good memories can be made in a comfortable coach, like this one. Show less

We purchased our Open Range Roamer 316RLS in Oct 2015, and in the short 7 months since, we have run into several problems that we believe are due to poor production of our camper. Almost immediately after our purchase, a lot of the wood framing around the slides started coming loose and popping off. We have found that almost every single (visible) screw is stripped. We noticed this first when our water heater started leaking- which is a separate issue- and we had to take the panel off the table in between the chairs to access it, the screw heads were completely stripped and we had a difficult time removing them. I wanted to remove the furnace covers to vacuum down in the vents and the screws were not only stripped, but I was unable to get them screwed back in because when they had originally been screwed in, they were just jammed in the floor and we cannot get the screws back in the holes no matter how we finagle the screws. We also have a screw with stripped threads in the ceiling vent in the hallway, which prevents the window from closing tight. When there is any wind at all, it is able to lift up and rip open that window. We also have sealant around the windows on the roof that is already cracking and has to be replaced. Granted, these are issues that we are able to fix ourselves, but being that we just spent over $40,000 on a brand new camper, we should not be having these issues right off the bat. A few months into owning our Open Range, we noticed a mildew smell around the chairs at the back of the coach. After further inspection we realized the carpet was wet as well as the base of the table in between the chairs. We had to call a repair service as we were traveling and were hours from the nearest authorized dealer, and he found that the water heater was spraying from the hoses where the nuts were simply not tightened enough in the factory. About two months ago, the front "rock guard" right above the hitch ripped loose. When we contacted warranty, we were told we had to go to the closest authorized dealer almost (two hours away) have them take pictures, and then return again on a later date to have it fixed. When we hooked up to get it to the dealer, we got less than a mile down the road and the entire rock guard completely ripped off. My husband had to remove the screws from the strip and rig it back together so we could make it to the dealership. Once at the authorized service center, we were told it would be weeks before it could be fixed, they put some tape over the front of the camper, and sent us on our way. Several weeks later, we started smelling a sewer smell. We could not figure out where it was coming from, and when we hooked our camper up to our truck to take it back to the service center to have the rock guard repaired, water started gushing from the underbelly for almost 5 minutes. The smell we had been smelling was stagnant water that had soaked the insulation and anything else located in the underbelly. The repair center told us they can't be sure how so much water got in the underbelly, it could have been from rain or there is a chance there is a cracked tank, but we would have to schedule yet ANOTHER two appointments (one for them to look at it, one for them to do the actual repair) We also had to have the emergency brake fuse box replaced because the box was melted and the wires were corroded. The wiring harnesses underneath the door-side tires also fell apart allowing wiring to be exposed, and had to be replaced. We've also had a random blowout of one of the tires on this RV, not that that is necessarily an Open Range issue, but it just adds to the list of issues we have experienced. The major issues we have encountered HAVE been covered by warranty, but we have to drive several hours multiple times to any nearest authorized service center. We were told we could use a non-authorized center, but we would probably have to pay up front and we wouldn't get guaranteed service. We are looking at trading out of it ASAP because we are so dissatisfied with our purchase! Show less
