2014 Dutchmen reviews

Great size tv for families. Bunks are spacious. Lots of storage. King size bed. Jack knife couch is comfortable. The booth/table combination is a little odd - the table is too small to be functional - but that can be swapped out. Awning is sturdy and good sized. Counter space is plentiful. Tows well even with a half ton pick up. I recommend, Show less

It's a piece of junk dont buy a dutchmen of any kind they slap them together..they state to fall apart after the factory warranty goes out.i have had take the front trim off and install dicor sealtight tape front and back. Plus when I took them off nothing was fit right. A real show maker job...they could not build a dog house with a blue print. Lots of money you put out for pure junk....beware. dont buy any thing from dutchmen.... Show less

Nothing but problems from day one. All o our first trip ...The one door would open while driving, even locked. The jacks were gone when we arrived at our first stop!! The slide out stopped working and manual option. The window leaked. Beautiful looking trailer but poor quality. Traded it in after just 2 years. Waste of money! Show less

I bought the rv used from a dealer in Florida. My first mistake. The first time I tried it out was the day after the purchase. I started having problems with the Schwintech slide on the livingroom. After several attempts to get the problem resolved I had a tire blow and this caused enough damage to the slide to warrant further investigation. The repair shop I took the unit to discovered the roof on the slide had been leaking since it was manufactured which rotted the entire outside wall and floor. When the repair shop tried to repair it was descovered the slide had no framing supporting the outside window..just 2 sheets of 1/4 in plywood laminated to the styrofoam. In 20 years of repairing rv's this is the worst contruction the rv repair shop has run into. The total cost so far is over 15k and I finally have the unit back. Dutchmen should have a class action suit against them for this. I am just wondering if there is any legal action that can be taken. Show less

Purchased this great looking 2014 Denali 287re rv with nice floorplan in 2015. Year 1:problem with passenger side slideout. Ripped the fiberglass siding in back. Took almost 10 months for dealer to fix. Year 3: opened up trailer in spring and 75% of trailer was 100% soaked. Had to rip out entertainment section as it was water logged and the doors had mould. Had to remove all carpets and linoleum.Had repair shop fix a lot. Had to replace both motors on the same slideout. No plumbers putty under mouldings, a thin felt was all there was. Still have water infiltration on the same slideout. Can somebody show me the weatherstripping that is supposed to be on the top of the slideout. Mine doesn't touch the slideout and I believe it should. They had no insulation around any of the exterior signal lights. I would have liked to see these types of reviews before buying this money pit. Show less

We purchased this trailer new in the spring of 2014. We liked the layout, decor and separate bath entrance. We had significant problems right off the bat and had a really difficult time dealing with Dutchmen/Keystone. The family-owned dealer was not easy to work with either. First, I drove the unit home and I noticed the slide out was crooked. Dealer said it was just a crooked exterior trim piece. I was skeptical so I did some investigating on my own (I had no knowledge/experience with campers) and found that the slide was resting on the frame of the opening on one side, not on the track it was supposed to slide on. The slide was mounted in the wrong place at the factory. It was troubling that I had to explain that to the dealer. The dining table had a wavy look to it (water damage?). The radio didn't work, kitchen drawers didn't slide right, dinette cushions were/still are very uncomfortable, and a few other little things. The most troubling issue was discovered when washing the camper one day. I put my hand on the wet aluminum siding and could feel low voltage electricity running through it! This issue was never resolved and continues to occur. Overall, I cannot recommend this unit due to the subpar workmanship and the safety issue of the electricity. Show less

Bought second hand last summer. Looked like new on the inside. Loved the living area. This summer I have had trouble with both slides. The electric cord burnt out. Wonder it didn't catch on fire. Now I have a problem with the black. Whole underbelly has to be stripped off to find the problem. May have to get new tank. This job could cost about $6000. I am not a happy camper. Didn't realize it was made by Dutchman until after I had it bought. I've heard Dutchman does not make a quality trailer. Time Dutchman to start making reliable products. Show less

I own a 2014 kodiak. A had to make a repair on the front cap. After removing the insert trim I was shocked to see that the cap did not go all the way to the side wall. There was a space just under one inche.Whick allowed water to get in And delaminate the cap. I wrote dutchmen a e mail Thier reply. It’s out of warranty. I know it’s out of warranty. I wrote to show them the bad workmen ship. And to let a trailer Leave in that condition. They make junk Don’t buy keystone or Dutchmen trailers Don’t throw your hard earned money away Show less

I bought this new in Jan 2014 No problems until i find out the slide outs have been leaking since day one and i didn't find until this year. The seals were not installed correctly and of course the manufacture will not cover.... Show less
