Used 2021 Venture RV Stratus 271VRS — Katy, TX

This used 2021 Venture RV Stratus 271VRS is a travel trailer on the Rear Living floor plan, listed at $16,447. At 30 ft it is right around the median length for a travel trailer (28 ft 11 in). Dry weight is 6,510 lb, above the 5,550 lb median for the category.

Loaded with water, propane and gear it will sit nearer 7,700 lb, which puts it within reach of a three-quarter-ton pickup. Budget for 10–15% of that on the hitch, and a half-ton will be over its payload once passengers and hitch weight are counted.

With no slide-outs there is less to maintain and one fewer thing to fail on the road. Sleeping capacity is 3, which is on the compact side for the category.

That is a 13% reduction on the $18,899 MSRP — $2,452 off. It also sits well below the $24,250 median for travel trailers in our inventory.

Fitted equipment includes 3 burner stove, front queen bed, rear living room and microwave. It ships from Katy, TX door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
