Used 2023 Venture RV Stratus 281VBH — Alvarado, TX

A used 2023 Stratus 281VBH from Venture RV, this travel trailer on the Rear Bath floor plan is priced at $28,113. At 31 ft 10 in it is slightly longer than the category median (28 ft 11 in). Dry weight is 6,410 lb, above the 5,550 lb median for the category.
