New 2026 Venture RV Stratus 261VRB — Benton, AR

This new 2026 Venture RV Stratus 261VRB is a travel trailer on the Rear Living floor plan, listed at $40,162. At 31 ft 11 in it is slightly longer than the category median (28 ft 11 in). Dry weight is 5,810 lb, close to the 5,550 lb median for the category.

Plan around 6,850 lb loaded rather than the dry figure. A half-ton pickup handles it comfortably; check the payload sticker rather than the tow rating — payload runs out first on half-tons.

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.

It is listed $13,556 below the $53,718 MSRP, a 25% saving. It sits above the $24,250 category median, reflecting its size and specification.

Among its listed features are 100 watt solar panel, theater seating in place of jackknife sofa, 15k btu a/c in place of 13.5k btu a/c and 50 amp service & 2nd a/c prep. It ships from Benton, AR door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
