We have a 153ML and have had it now for about 15 months. We purchased new from Open Roads RV in Woodstock, GA. My tow vehicle is a 2017 Toyota Tundra and I’m using a Curt weight/sway hitch. The Tundra with the 5.7 iForce V8 is a beast and pulls this Camper with ease.
We added a Class 3 hitch to the rear for use with a hitch style bicycle rack. Works great.
I’ve had a few minor issues but none requiring dealer assistance. Some interior trim pieces came off, the Dometic toilet flush valve developed a leak, which was easily fixed with a Phillips head and a $35 part while mid-trip.
We replaced the umbilical cord with a plug-in style cord, which works well and is more convenient. The “stereo” is marginal and we haven’t even used the TV yet. Fit/finish is acceptable but nothing fantastic. We have 100+ nights in our camper and it has functioned fine and is no worse for the wear. Tows easily and is just right for 2 people.
My Wife would prefer to be able to walk around the bed to make it up... no big deal to me. The fridge is a good size, the heater will smoke you out and the dinette is comfortable enough. We replaced the mattress with a memory foam from Amazon - made a huge difference.
Like most, there is minimal counter space and nowhere for a coffee maker, so I added a flip-up counter with a bamboo cutting board, a piano hinge and two brackets. Much more functional.
Overall, it fits our needs and we’ve been happy. I’ll try to add some pics for you to see.
Good luck!
