Funny old thing, I've heard horror stories from just about ALL trailer tent manufacturers, especially Trigano, but Sunncamp as well.
I have found that it's all a case of how you approach it. If you contact tradingstandards.gov.uk, and get a case reference, then quote it on a (polite) letter to Sunncamp requiring them to fulfil their legal obligation under the Sale of Goods Act 1978, then you may well find that you have a different response to if you 'phone up and yell! (Not that I'm implying that you did).
By the way, I have had a look at the Venture, and that is the one model which I would never touch (Sorry!). The one I looked at had REALLY badly plated poles, the chassis was quite obviously skew as hell and it looked like a deathtrap. And this was a NEW one. Ugh. Buy a second hand Conway Cruiser or something.
(Incidentaly re: the review. Why is 100% cotton Canvas a plus point? How many trailer tents DON'T have 100% cotton canvas? Also, of all the Sunncamp's many excellent qualities, like space and price, I would be steering gently clear of Canvas Quality if I were them....)
Now, I reckon there's a market for a trailer tent built out of flexible fibreglass poles with ripstop nylon 'canvas', costing sub-£1000. If you made new flysheets readily available for £150 or so, then you could have a new fly every couple of seasons for the cost of keeping cotton canvas waterproof!
If the concept could be made to work, then the only company even faintly capable of pulling it off would be Sunncamp.
Hmmmm....

My daughter has a 350SE and loves it, loads of space, easy to tow, no probs with quality. Only criticism is the time it takes to put the awning up, but hey, it's a great size. People's comments indicate they last years, so why pay more.
Interesting that except for the folding camper, not much in the way of critism here, but plenty over the months on more expensive TT's, torn this and that, bent poles etc.
We have a combi camp, but as oldies it's prob the easiest TT to put up, and we can continue camping.

I too have a Sunncamp 400SE and although I have only had it out once it was perfect.
The one weekend I decided to use it was probably one of the wettest and windyest of the year and even without storm straps it never moved and form the inside with the heater on it was cosy.
I bought it new this year and looked at many other makes. It's likes others say... it may not last as long as other makes but if well kept it will last long enogh for my kids to grow up and thats all I need it to do.
The space is uncredible and it's ideal for the family. I have done some modifications to the build, but not because of quality just to make things easier like mounting the spare whell underneath and putting a storage box on the front, and adding electrics so that I only need to plug it into hook up. There are many things you can do to these TT's to make then suite you. I have many plans to modify it further to make it even more homely.
Sunncamp means Value for Money.......
