I have tried to find info on the Vision V23rsl but can find none (possibly because it's so new?)...Do any of the members of this forum own one & would they please share their experiences with me? Thanks.

Ours just arrived at the dealer this week. Hope to pick it up next weekend. The dealership said it has been a big seller for them. What exactly do you want to know? Will be happy to help you when I can.

I was wondering if you compared this to the Evergreen Ascend? They have the identical floor plans. How do you feel about the quality of workmanship on the Vision? I hope to retire next year & would like to find a t/t we can take for the long haul. I have a V-6 Tacoma & need something lighter to pull & we love the inside space the Vision offers. Thanks

I did not compare the Vision to the Ascend. In fact, I didn't even know there was a comparable model. However, looking at the information on the Ascend, they are both almost identical. Even down to price. HOWEVER, the Vision has an oven and a 3 burner stove. The interior of the Ascend seemed very plain. Not much color. But maybe that works for you. The only thing that I saw was that the Ascend had a bit more counter space (maybe due to smaller cooktop) and a few additional drawers in the kitchen area.
My husband and I will be camping with our 2-60 pounds dogs. The Vision is replacing a hybrid TT.
Our dealer was really helpful explaining all the features of the Vision when we were buying. Most of which I didn't pay attention to because they were things my husband wanted to know. :-0

Ah yes, my wife is more interested in the comfort features too. I was also interested in the construction & warranty factors of each. Unfortunately neither TT dealer is close by. We live in Frankfort, KY & the closest dealer is approx. 100 miles away. Makes it tough for service with the same dealer. Please keep us posted on how you like your new Vision. Thanks again, Bill

Well kanovac, we will be getting our new v23rsl Sat. Veurinks in Grand Rapids had the best deal (although it is a long distance away). My wife also liked the features on the Vision better. I guess we'll be the 1st two on here to talk about the Vision. Happy Camping!

We will be picking up our Vision V23bhs on Saturday! I was hoping to find some more information on this forum but there isn't much here or anywhere else on the web. It's a beautiful trailer and we cannot wait to use it with our 2 kids and dog.

We had our v23rsl delivered 3/25 to the campground & spent the 1st night in it Sat. Had a 18 ft before this & now have much more space. Just trying to organize & get use to all the extra space. Finding out all kinds of different things between campers...some good, some not as good. I guess it's impossible to have it all in one. Hope you enjoy your new camper, keep in touch.  |

Congratulations buckwild. We were out for the first time this weekend. Everything went well for us also. We upgraded from a hybrid. I feel we don't have as much storage as we did previously, however, I also have some empty cabinets. My husband notices a big difference in pulling this camper. It will take a while to get used too.

I just picked up a Vision 19RB. A bit smaller, and no slide out. I like the look and feel, and it is just the two of us (the drop down bed is quite small). If the kids come now (25 and 22) they can pitch a tent.
I asked the mods to create a new product category for the Vision, we shall see!
Any tips on the Vision or KZ series are welcome.

We bought the Vision 23 RLS two week ago. We have RV'ed since 1977 and owned all types of rigs including a Monoco Diesel and two other class A's. We are seniors now and just downsizing a bit. Have had 3 other rigs since the last MotorHome and believe the Vision 23RLS will be our last. I think is a good trailer and we like the floorplan a lot. Kitchen counter is liking in size but we feel it will be adequate. Overall the trailer seems pretty well made - especially for the price point. I would like to have 15 inch wheels and tires instead of the 13 inch, but will hope for the best. The tires are load range C ( 6 ply rating) --- market has replacement tires in load range D if that becomes an issue. As I said we are pleased with the trailer and will be using it for extended stays of a month or so several times during the year. I suspect that the insulation of the trailer is going to make camping in Fall and Winter months a little difficult due to dampness inside the trailer. We have experienced this with trailers in the price range of the Vision and just deal with it as it occurs. Hope this has helped some.

My husband and I just bought one and are anxious to get to take it out for the first time.
we didn't get much of a manual on it. There are a series of three toggle buttons just inside the door. One is red - anyone know what this is for?

On our 23 RLS it is for the outside light ( patio ). You are correct - manual is a little lacking. Charles "rustynail"

Katidid - our red button turns on the LED lights in the awning. The 2 black ones turn on the outside light and the other the inside light. Don't ask me which one is which, because I can never remember.

We started our camping in an 18 foot Dutchman. Our 23 RLS was delivered to the campground last week of April. We've had a chance to stay in a few weekends now and got things arranged the way we like. We found a small three-tier shelf to sit at the end of the counter where we put our Keurig on top and the other two shelves are great for storage, and still leaves room to sit on the couch. It's a quick fix to change the cover on the headboard. I agree with Rusty nail that the wheels should be bigger, and I've noticed the glass is not as thick as on the Dutchman though I do like it being tinted. I guess for the sake of saving weight, insulation and thicker plastic were spared. I never noticed our freezer in the Dutchman frosting up, but we have had this problem in the Vision (maybe due to less insulation?). Amazon has become our close friend lol. We have made many "upgrades". A vortex fan in the bathroom, a crossbar on the screen, tension bars for the towels (paper,cloth), Command hooks to hang utensils behind stove, and baskets of all sizes for storage. Hopefully we can share ideas and opinions on this page.

Kanovak is correct about the red toggle switch...Sorry for my mistake.

We like the skylight in the living area but the light is sometimes too bright and it radiates a lot of heat. I ordered a Camco shade cover but it's not wide enough. Any suggestions?
