Winnebago Hike Review
Since Hike has just been released in the market, there hasn’t been much reviews yet from owners of this travel trailer. We’re basing this review from trusted RV sites along with our own assessment of the unit.
From the exterior look of this travel trailer, you will know right away that it was built with adventurers in mind. The 15-inch all-terrain tires and axle lift let you conquer difficult terrains. It also comes with an impressive ground clearance for off-roading. It is compact and lightweight so towing it along is a breeze.
The exoskeleton rack system is very versatile. You can bring your bikes, kayaks, and other gears with you when you hit the road. Plus there’s a covered multi-use front storage that’ll allow you to pack more travel essentials aside from the 2 propane tanks and RV battery that go with the unit.
Despite its rugged exterior, you’ll feel at home inside this travel trailer. It comes with complete amenities and the layout works great to give you enough space to move around. The only downside that we’re seeing is that you need a bigger truck or SUV to tow this travel trailer but considering that it’s got everything you need, that’s perfectly understandable.
Pros
- adventure-ready
- full exoskeleton rack system
- multi-use front storage
- residential feel
Cons
- You need a larger SUV or truck to tow it.
