2025 Forest River Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 Review

A toy hauler with a unique take on cargo versus living space, the 2025 Forest River Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 utilizes an unusual method that gives owners the ability to optimize either configuration. Apparently with a boondocking, outdoorsy, all-weather buyer in mind, this model also offers exceptional off-grid camping cold-weather camping capabilities.

 

At a Glance: Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11

Overall, I rated the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 a 8.0 out of 10, but this number alone doesn’t tell the whole story. This toy hauler showcases some really impressive features — even beyond the garage, which you would expect. It’s ability to survive colder camping, the built-in tire pressure monitor and high-quality tires, and an interior that could transform into a great entertainment space all come to mind.

However, there are also aspects of the the Vengeance Rogue Armored that felt closer to entry-level in terms of build quality. Let’s talk more about it all.

Benefits

On the Inside

• Toy hauling. At its most basic function as a toy hauler, the Vengeance Rogue Armored one features a large garage space and good cargo carrying capacity that can accommodate even some of the larger side-by-sides or other vehicles. 
• Versatile space configuration. There is a really unusual and innovative slide room within the main living space of this RV that can optimize either the living space or the cargo space — a truly unique feature. 
• Easy bedmaking. The bed lift mechanism in the cargo area uses simple struts to enable raising or lowering of the upper bed. This simple mechanism is fast and requires no power – I like this better than the slow-moving power lift mechanisms just for the sake of simplicity. 
• Plenty of entertainment space. The cargo compartment has a second smaller bar-sized fridge, a counter space plus some cabinet space. So you could use this as a place to entertain friends along with the patio deck that comes from laying the ramp door flat. 

On the Outside

• All-weather capabilities. For those who camp in the cold, this fifth-wheel toy hauler offers holding tanks in a heated underbelly, plus 12-volt heating pads on the tanks. 
• Safe and scenic patio. The ramp door on this trailer features a surround that forms a fence of sorts plus a provision to set the door horizontally so you can use the ramp door as a patio deck. There is also a glass patio door with bug screens called a three-season door so you can go in and out. This makes a great place for entertaining, particularly if you’re camped somewhere with a great view. These are also good to contain pets or smaller children which allows them to go in and out but still staying within the confines of the camper. 

 

Challenges

• Complex features. The unusual inside slide that optimizes cargo or living space is certainly unusual and additional complexity that may put some prospective owners off. 
• Cable-slide mechanisms. All five slide rooms on this RV use cable-slide mechanisms, which some buyers voice apprehensions about. They are fine, and my experience with them has been positive. But they do require occasional attention.
• Build quality inconsistencies. Some of the items in this trailer have a very entry-level feel to them which flies in the face of the MSRP of this rig. 

 

 

Best For

• While the obvious use of any toy hauler is to haul toys, the large, open space and drop-down patio make an RV like this ideal for those camping in beautiful places with a patio deck to observe them. 
• An RV with this flexible an open space is also a great choice for those who work on the road or have hobbies that might be made more enjoyable in a larger, open space. 
• For travelers with families the cargo bay can also serve as a second place for members of the family to spend time without being with the whole group. It also could be a great place for entertaining with the patio deck and bar-sized fridge. 

 

Key Areas We Evaluate for RV Buyers

Sleeping Space

Being a typical fifth-wheel toy hauler, there is a bedroom upstairs over the pin box. This one features a king-size bed in a road-side slide room. Interestingly, that bed has a drop-down, armrest-like padded bolster on either side of the bed with a cup holder. I’m not sure that this is something you’d want to leave down all night, but you could. (Especially if you want a secure drink close by.)For those campers who require a medical device (like a CPAP) to sleep at night, there is a small shelf on which to put that. There’s also a household power outlet overhead. 

But the most unusual feature in this upstairs bedroom is a projector that projects onto a drop-down screen that doubles as the window shade on the camp side. This certainly has the potential to be a polarizing feature, but personally, I really like it.  

Downstairs, there is a couch that can extend to become a bed. In the cargo bay of the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11, there is an overhead bed that is held up by struts. Pulling the bed down is really easy and quick. It’s also easy to return to the stored position. I think this is much easier than a power lift mechanism, if only because it’s so quick. 

 

 

Bathroom

The bathroom, on the upper deck, features a large walk-in shower with an elaborate spa-style shower head. There is a porcelain foot flush toilet and a bit of space on the cabinet that the small round-bowl sink resides in. This is along the lines of what you would expect in a fifth-wheel toy hauler — which means nice, but not a big surprise.

 

 

Living Area

Inside the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11, I discovered one of the most unusual features I’ve ever seen in any RV — a slide inside the toy hauler itself. That slide is located on the back wall of the main living space which divides the living space from the cargo bay. It’s entirely inside the RV. In other words, the slide is not on an exterior wall, but an interior wall. 

By extending that slide, you add more space to the main living area of the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11. In doing so, you remove the same amount of space from the cargo hold. Reversing it does just the opposite. The idea is to have a large cargo hold during transit and then use this to optimize the main living space once the garage has cleared out a bit. 

There’s a flip-up table in this slide, which is the principal dining provision in this camper. It also comes with two bar-height stools that have short backs on them. 

Beyond that Innovative Slide: Recliners, Zebra Blinds, and More

There’s also a three-place couch in the main living space that features recliner function for the outside two seating positions. (Another bonus to the recliners? Heated seating surfaces.) There are also cup holders that feature USB power outlets. 

The window shades in the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 are what are referred to as zebra shades with alternating dark and light sections. The nice thing about these is that you can vary the amount of light you let in by drawing the shades so that the lighter sections are more or less blocked by the darker stripes. 

Across from the couch is a larger TV and a fireplace. 

 

 

Kitchen

For those who enjoy being the road chef, the kitchen in the Vengeance Rogue 341GS11 will be a good place to practice that craft. The camp-side wall features a three-burner stove with larger oven and a good-size microwave. The 12-volt fridge features a French door design with two freezer drawers. 

There’s also a multi-function sink incorporates provisions for draining and washing veggies, a glass rinser, and a pull-out faucet/sprayer. The peninsula in which the sink is located also affords decent counter space, as does the bulkhead counter. Drawer space is plentiful all around. 

For more storage, the wall on which the TV and fireplace are located is also a door which, when opened, reveals a substantial pantry. There is also a second mini bar-sized fridge in the cargo bay of this toy hauler. (That fridge is found on the back side of the slide room I mentioned.)

 

 

Four-Season Capabilities

Winter camping is a definite strong suit for this trailer. There is an enclosed underbelly that’s also heated. Plus, there are 12-volt heating pads on all the holding tanks. Even the cargo compartment has a furnace duct so that space is heated.  This RV comes with two air conditioners with the ability to add a third unit. 

In addition, the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 is clearly meant for off-grid camping or boondocking. While these are options, the model we saw featured 300 watts of solar and a 2,000-watt inverter which will run most of the household appliances and systems in the RV. But, for those times that you need even more power, this model is fit with a 6,000-watt generator. 

I suspect that many of the people who choose this RV are going to want this type of capability. And it’s exceptional that this caliber of functionality is available as a factory-installed option. I also like the 158 gallons of freshwater capacity. Many’s the time I’ll be camping off the grid, and its lack of water that brings me in off the road, not lack of power. 

 

 

Storage Space

Of course, the most obvious storage spot in this fifth-wheel toy hauler is the very large garage. Even so, there is also a rather sizable storage bay in the front of this RV, common in most fifth wheels. That space is also heated and has motion sensing lighting in it. 

 

 

Chassis/Suspension

I like that the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 comes with a number of better components, including the MORryde CRE3000 suspension upgrade. This is a package of pieces that allows for greater dampening of vibration and harshness coming through to the RV which, arguably, would help it last longer. 

The upgrade also includes what are called wet bolts which simply means that they can be greased which promotes longer life of the components – also a plus. Although that means you actually have to grease them. 

 

Build Quality

Quick lead-in here about slides. When I worked as a warranty manager at an RV dealership, we sold a lot of RVs with cable-operated slides. During that time, I don’t recall having issues with them. However, it should be said that there is a lot of “buzz” on the internet from people who do not like cable slide mechanisms. So, if you’re one of those people, you should probably know that all four of the slide rooms in this toy hauler are cable slides. 

The walls in RVs like this are made up of various layers including an outer layer of fiberglass and an inside wall board. Between those layers are welded aluminum studs with block foam inserts. It has traditionally been a wood product used just inside the walls called lauan but this material can get damaged if even the smallest amount of water leaks in. However, the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 uses a product called Azdel. This man-made product is unaffected by water. Further, Azdel offers better sound insulation properties.

On the exterior, a buyer should note one area where there were clear corners looked cut: the baggage doors. These are rather thin and use low-grade camlock closures.

 

Garage

As mentioned, the in-RV slide system found in the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 is beyond interesting — it’s innovative.  When the slide is retracted into the main living space for travel, that means 11 feet of garage space is available. 

The example I saw had a carpet that could be rolled up. When unrolled, this really made the cargo hold of the trailer feel very inviting. So, even if you don’t use this model for hauling toys, it has enormous potential as a great office … or playroom … or place to practice hobbies. (Particularly if those hobbies require more space.)

Reinforcing the potential for this space as an office, there is an entry door into the cargo area as well. So, this space could be completely emotionally detached from the main living area. Add that bar-sized fridge that’s on this side of the slide room and voila! Now you could entertain clients or friends in here. 

A Better Kind of Bed Assist

Most toy haulers have what is called a HappiJac system, which hangs couches and a bed on chains and uses a power lift mechanism to raise and lower them. But this toy hauler has something different. The four struts on the corner of the bed assist in lifting and lowering that bed. Lowering the bed means simply reaching up and pulling it down. I love this because it’s so quick and easy. Also, no power required except the power of you pulling it down. Returning it to stowed position is also a simple task. You just push up on the front and back and you’re done. 

There are also two recliners that come with this unit which aren’t attached to the walls. So, you could take them onto the patio deck or into the cargo hold or outside. Having just the bed means no couches in the cargo hold of this trailer. Therefore, I would suggest bringing along your favorite camp chairs for additional seating to the recliners. Then you can choose what you want to put where — the cargo hold, on the patio deck, or outside. 

 

 

Value

There are a number of features in the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 that might typically be optional or even aftermarket items in other rigs that are included in this one. However, there are also some corners cut that are unfortunate. (Things like the thin baggage doors with camlocks.) Also, even though all RVs require inspection and maintenance of the seals this doesn’t come with a ladder. Instead, the model offers just a ladder mount with the expectation that you buy your own ladder. 

 

Closing Notes on the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11

Something I saw noted in a video on the company’s website is the inclusion of magnetic graphics that one can place on their tow vehicle to match the swoops and swirls of the graphics on the trailer. I’m not sure who asked for this, but you get this just the same. 

Also, while some aspects of this trailer have a nicer feel others tell more of a story of entry-level features. 

That indoor slide also has an electronic safety feature where the table has to be folded in order for the slide to work, so that the table doesn’t come into contact with the camp-side slide that holds the couch. But this is such an unusual feature, I would want to know where this is in the event that it stops functioning. 

The windows in this are something I’ve seen other offerings from the brand use. They feature a somewhat mirrored finish which effectively reduces heat and UV rays inside the trailer. However, it can also cause consternation from other campers due to the limited but still discernible reflectivity. 

 

Great Off-Grid — but Also Inside

There is a 6000-watt generator built into this trailer that can draw from the 30-gallon onboard gas tank. That tank also has a gas pump handle, so you could fuel-up the toys this is meant to haul. (It also means that you don’t have to haul them with much fuel in them.) Combine that generator with the large freshwater holding tank, and you have a fifth-wheel toy hauler that could be a serious boondocking machine. 

Overall, the Vengeance Rogue Armored 341GS11 is certainly a solid RV. With a good number of very usable features, it particularly might serve some families very well with its separation of the main living space and the cargo area sleeping/living space. This would also be a good RV for those who love to entertain, particularly with that bar-size fridge and counter in the cargo area that also provides access to the patio deck.
