First Impression Sport Trek 327 VIK
By Dan Ooley(Owner), Feb. 17, 2016
So two weeks ago we bought a 2016 Sport Trek 327 VIK. As there have been little to no reviews of this camper I would try my hand at it.
1st in selecting this camper we were comparing it to a Winnebago Ultralite with a similar floor plan, and what ultimately pushed us into the venture was the electr
...ic fireplace, table seating in the bunkroom, and the island Kitchen.
We picked up our new camper from our local dealer (smaller dealer family owned) and they had the camper ready to go when we got there. so after about 2-3 hours going over all the systems there were just two items for the dealer to address. An alignment issue with the outside kitchen door and a blown awning fuse.
We took the camper straight to a local RV campground right near our house in Jacksonville and camped in it for 3 nights. we found 2 small water leaks that were caused by loose hose connections for the kitchen faucet and the outside kitchen. We also discovered that for some reason heat from the furnace is not coming into the bedroom when we had the heat on. This is the only real issue we have had and the dealer is looking into it for us as well as Venture. I emailed them with this issue and they called me back that very same day and gave me a couple items to look at.
I was disappointed in the entertainment center as it is not a Blu-Ray and seem early 90's complicated for something as simple as a stereo DVD player. I have been looking at options though and this seems to be industry standard as far as I can tell.
1 week later we hauled it down to the Orlando FL for a long weekend and it traveled great and set up text book easy at 10:30 that night. I pull it with a 2014 F150 4x4 Ecoboost with a Curt WDH and sway control, and although it was a windy gusty trip the trailer did just fine.
Overall we are very happy with our new camper and with the exception of the bedroom heat and the dated (in my opinion) technology for the entertainment system it has performed awesome.
