Coleman Lantern reviews

I personally don't like the back bedroom but the fact that there is no room at between the wall and the foot of the mater bed is maddening at best. Also the heater vent being at the foot of the bed is horrible it make the bed very hot but doesn't heat the room itself well at all. The partical board interior is falling apart and the hood is falling off over the stove as well as having issues with the walls drawing in moisture and the door swelling in the cold. The only good thing about this camper is that the pipes are mostly internal. Show less

Our 2024 Coleman Lantern 17B developed major water damage and delamination within the first year. Keystone RV’s handling of the warranty claim has been frustrating and inconsistent from the start. Their representative initially said they wanted to “do what’s right for my family” and acknowledged how serious water damage could be. But they quickly shifted to blaming me for “lack of maintenance” — with no proof. Then they demanded $6,500 out of pocket for a replacement unit. I was forced to accept a buyout — until I submitted an updated payoff that was less than $1,800 higher. Suddenly, Keystone dropped the $6,500 demand and offered both a new buyout and a replacement. This flip-flop proved they were never negotiating in good faith. They missed multiple deadlines, ignored my final offer, and went completely silent. Keystone’s customer service failed my family when we needed them most. If you’re thinking about buying from them — be careful. Document everything, and don’t assume they’ll back their product when it matters. Show less

I bought my Coleman 17B from Camper World October 2024, I started camping in it as soon as I bought it, I’m from Mississippi so it doesn’t get too cold but in this case I woke up to find the water faucet broke because it got cold, I was told it was not made for winter camping. Six months later we had to cut our camping trip short because of a water leak under the sink, I got home and took the Fireplace out to find the drain system had worked its way loose. Now it’s December and the toilet is leaking behind the toilet. The fresh water holding tank is leaking. We have had this camper just over 13 1/2 months and I hate this cheap *** camper Show less

The toy hauler gives you living space flexibility and the ability to transfer your toys in one unit. The reclining chairs give comfort and we found the bankette dinette was not needed to give a more homey feel while on the road. The option to use the Ramp as a patio and the ability to screen it off is great. This 30 foot unit is small enough to tow and navigate easily. Setup is quick with power stabilizers. Lots of storage space in cupboards,closets, under mattress and in pass thru storage area. Outdoor awning , lighting and speakers are great. Show less

All the Coleman/Dutchmen engineers got together and asked: “how can we make the cheapest trailer possible, yet still charge a high price”? and so they came up with the 2024 Coleman 18BH. Consensus: Lets scale down the nice Lippert 4,400 lb axle and use a cheaper Terran 4,000 lb. axle. Tinted windows? NO, too expensive. Windows? 2 should be enough, although you get NO cross through ventilation (as they’re NOT on opposite sides) Storage? Empty spaces under kitchen countertop that SHOULD have doors or drawers (unusable voids)- HUGE space under bunkbed you cannot access, unusable, should have had a door to the outside. (too expensive) The so-called “couch” is too short for a normal person (VERY uncomfortable) and the cushions on couch AND dinette are hard as a rock. General storage capacity? Not enough for even One person. The radio (no cd player!! Really?) and the speakers are about the cheapest on the market. The 3rd time I opened the cap for the electric plug-in, it broke. Any pros? To be fair, a good size refrigerator, but it runs on DC only, so you BETTER have solar panels if you are ever to boondock. The bathroom is tight, but that’s expected in an 18ft trailer. This is my 4th trailer so I KNOW what I’m talking about. Good luck. Show less

Tall and blocky enough to blow all over the road unless you spend an extra $2500 on an obscene hitch setup. Neither the heat nor the ac work without being connected to shore power, even though the heat is propane based. The fridge flies open going down the road with any minor bump, spilling its contents on the floor. The hot water heater was inoperative brand new, the air vents come with nothing to improve quality of life, half the windows don’t open. The materials used are cheap and flimsy and start to disintegrate after the very first use, the storage compartments are lined with cheap pressboard so any decent packing results in the destruction of the compartment itself, the floor plan was decent, except that they cluttered stuff in there to absorb the space and left everything as basic as possible. Save yourself the trouble, find a used camper that doesn’t come from Coleman. Save twice the money, get twice the quality. This thing is junk. True blue junk. Show less

This is my second Coleman. It is absolutely amazing. I have used it 4 times in 4 months. Everything works perfect. Just like the Coleman products I used camping years ago, you can count on Coleman products to work!!! My first camper was a 17b. I had a hard time trading it in but am glad I did. I have friends with different makes who spend a lot of time in the shop. Not my Coleman.. Show less

The ceiling is falling down the shower leaks and the blind fell off wall. I drove this to Maine and everyday I had sawdust all over everything. It does toe fairly well for single axle trailer. The floor plan is terrible. No place to store anything Show less

We have had nothing but trouble with this camper. The electrical system kept going out. We would have it fixed and it would blow again . They changed out the converter since it kept blowing fuses. After a couple weeks of use we saw the screws on the outside kept backing out. A few of them we had to replace. The electric water heater never worked we have to use the gas heater to get hot water. The sofa is poorly made. It came loose and had to be screwed back in. When we went to Camping World they told us to go to the manufacturer. We went to the manufacturer and they said we had to go to Camping World. No one would help. The stove knob fell off and now it is hard to turn on the stove. The oven does not work. Trim work has started falling off. I don’t have much nice to say. I wish I had not bought it. Show less

The camper comes with a 15-year roof Warranty. When the roof and slideout roof leaks and the floor becomes spongy, they will. The dealer will not accept the warranty. These campers are disposable junk. Show less
