How much camper does $13,999 buy at a major RV show? It buys a compact Venture RV Sienna Lite SA140VFD with a dry bath, a usable kitchen, and enough storage to feel more practical than its price suggests.
In the video at the end of this post, we get a tour from Day Hiker from the Six.
The review came from the 2026 Florida RV SuperShow, where the trailer was listed at a show price of $13,999, down from an MSRP of $22,017. The price was event-specific, but it still showed what an entry-level trailer can look like when the goal is simple, affordable camping.
Why this low-priced trailer stands out
The Sienna Lite SA140VFD is a classic “sticks and tin” trailer, so it skips premium construction and focuses on cost. Even so, the metal siding looked heavy-duty, and Venture says it has reflective properties that can help keep heat down.
Here are the key towing numbers:
- UVW: 2,750 lbs.
- GVWR: 3,500 lbs.
- CCC: 750 lbs.
- Hitch weight: 300 lbs.
- Length: 17 ft. 6 in.
- Width: 7 ft. 6 in.
Those numbers make it a small trailer that many tow vehicles can handle, and its under-18-foot size keeps it easy to place at campgrounds.
On the other hand, that is an extremely low cargo carrying capacity.
Exterior
The utility side packs in the basics: city water, a gravity fill, a 20-gallon fresh tank, an on-demand water heater, and a detachable 30-amp cord. The black and gray tanks are both 32 gallons, which is a nice surprise in a trailer this small, although the drain plumbing looked a bit close to the ground.
On the campsite side, the trailer gets a solar port, a power awning, outside TV connections, and large storage under the bed. The door has a friction hinge, the pull-out step keeps things simple, and the rear adds backup camera prep, a spare tire, four corner stabilizers, and bumper storage for the sewer hose.
Interior
The floor plan is set up for a couple. A small front dinette sits across from a larger-than-expected 12-volt refrigerator and an in-wall air conditioner. The dinette can turn into a very small bed, likely best for a child. The nearby shelf with USB and 120-volt outlets is handy for charging gear or setting up a coffee maker.
The kitchen is simple but smart. It gets a large plastic sink, a two-burner cooktop mounted front to back for better counter space, a microwave, and deep cabinets that can hold full-size plates.
At the rear, the bed has windows on both sides for cross-ventilation, overhead storage, and charging ports on each side. The trade-off is access. Getting in and out of bed looks tight, especially for the person sleeping against the far wall.
The dry bath is the standout
The bathroom is the feature that lifts this trailer above many cheap, small campers. It is a true dry bath, with decent towel storage, a toilet with a usable angle, a GFI outlet, tank controls, a water pump switch, and a fan-skylight combo above the shower.
The shower test went well, too. Standing room is about 6 feet without using the skylight, and closer to 6 feet 3 inches with it. For a compact trailer, that is a real win.
Final thoughts
The Venture RV Sienna Lite SA140VFD makes sense as an affordable first trailer. Its best points are the low price, the large waste tanks, the solid storage, and the surprisingly usable dry bath.
It still needs a proper kitchen exhaust fan, a larger dinette, and easier bed access. Even so, for shoppers who care more about function than fancy materials, this is a smart little camper.

Wow, I wish I had bought something like this ten years ago instead of an Aliner.
I just wish it had a higher ceiling height,
Thank you for the review, Cheri. Certainly seems a reasonable choice for a first RV, even for ones unsure if they really want to pursue RVing as a recreational activity. Have a great day and safe travels!
