Trail Lite Trek 242 BH

We bought our new 2014 Trail Lite Trek 242BH model trailer this year (2014). We have been out with it 5 times already.



Overall, we like it.



It is a light trailer (just over 5,300 lbs fully loaded) and easy to tow with my 2008 Toyota 4Runner V8, 4.7L Limited.



The size is perfect of our ...family of four. I can easily maneuver the trailer and back it up to a camp site with no problem.

We like the fact that trailer has tinted windows, protects from direct sunlight during summer days, large table, murphy bed.

Murphy bed is absolutely lovely. Opens and folds back easily. Provides more space and sitting area during the day.

The Trailer has lots of storage space and accommodates a family of four with no problem.

The only issues I have with it so far are the stabilizer jacks (they are a little wobbly and shaky) and the awning (the arms are too low even when the awning is fully extended). Bump my head on their edges all the time. And I am 5.9”.

I am planning to keep the jacks until they break, but thinking of replacing the awning next year.

Hope this helps.

Maybe ours was a lemon

We have had nothing but problems with our 2013 Island Trek 242BH. Not only have we had to bring it into our dealer 3 times already (Electrical in the systems monitor was backwards which led to our water pump not working for an entire week long camping trip :S. Stereo having to be replaced because th...e dials were malfunctioning, a recall on the water tank and the front hatches that still will not close unless great force is used) but as of yesterday the electric jack will not go down so we have had to manually bring it down which means ONCE AGAIN we have to take it back down to our dealer in an ajoining town. As a young couple buying our first travel trailer this has been very frustrating, and while we did research before we bought there were little to no reviews on these trailer. Thank goodness for 7 year warranties. Hopefully this review will be helpful for others out there doing there homework as we tried to. Wether ours was made on a Friday or not, I would not recommend this trailer to anyone.
