Coleman Rv Folding Trailer reviews

Given buying a new Coleman Legacy 1905b and paying 30-40 k, they are equipped with the cheapest door locks, bin locks, bin latches and matching keys that need replacement every year. They remind me of the lock and keys that they used to sell in the 1960s bubble gum machines. Very shoddy! Show less

We have a 2023 Riverside Retro 13.5. We bought the camper new. We sized down to a small camper so we could tow with our Jeep Wrangler. The camper has not had any problems and we have had dozens of trips in it. It was one of the few campers at this size that checked all the boxes. We love the full size fridge and dry bath. We have the Elite and like the ADZELL siding too. My biggest complaint is the awning. It works fine but the arms are very low. Coming from the rear door, it is very easy to bang your head on the low arms and we have a lot. The only other complaint is the upholstery on the sofa is very delicate. I keep a futon cover on it because we take our pups and this has kept it damage free. We feel for the price point, amenities and tow ability the camper has been a good value. Show less

I (second owner) have owned this travel trailer for 5 years and have traveled with it cross country four times in addition to running a number of short trips to national parks (Grand Canyon, Glacier National, Crater Lake) and it has provided a safe and comfortable shelter for two adults and two small dogs in both freezing (<15F) and extreme hot (>105F) weather. After traveling thousands of miles, I have found that this trailer has held up very well and looks to be on the road for many more years due to being well maintained and properly operated. Storage includes not only kitchen cabinets, but also storage under the bed (which pivots up to allow access and storage under the dinette benches. Both areas have been used to store tools, repair parts, dry food, blankets and many other items used on month long trips. Storage accessed externally is enough to store a hitch, load balancing bars, chock blocks, power cables, wi-fi antenna pole, and cleaning supplies. Vaulted ceiling, insulated skylights, 2" insulated side walls, double wall front with extra-tall diamond plate, sealed floor to keep holding tanks from freezing, and heavy-duty forced air 25,000 BTU furnace combine to keep the inside warm. I have used this trailer in temperatures down to 15F with no problem. After market modifications include installing all LED lights inside and outside; a 12V shut-off switch; addition of a half cabinet to provide additional storage; a new stove/oven; new awning; side and rear view cameras used during travel; locked battery storage box; and flex armor applied to the roof. The 19B is a well-built and designed travel trailer that optimizes convenience and ease of use in a small space that makes it ideal for "traveling" cross country in any weather. Anyone wanting more space simply needs to buy a bigger trailer. As my first RV, I could not have bought a better trailer. Show less

We were very impressed with the overall quality and craftsmanship of this trailer made in Oregon. It's thicker walls made it much warmer for our winter camping trips and its rugged design handled our off-road dry camping adventures with ease. Super roomy inside with a large pop-out! We loved this trailer! Show less

So I purchased my Radiance ultra lite 32 BH in 2019, I've used the camper roughly 20 times and have mixed thoughts on the unit, the Fridge leaked out it's ammonia a month after the appliance warranty was up, it's 2500 dollars to replace, the wall leaked by the sink from the roof at brand new, had to silicone the hole. And the main door pops open when driving because of shifting do I have to have the hand rail folded over the door and locked to prevent it from completely opening. The camper pulls very nice, the weight seems to be well balanced on the axles, over all I'm disappointed in the unit, I paid 62k for the unit new and have had to fix little things and big things IE the fridge Show less

I regret everything about buying this camper. I have been in and out of camping world so many times in the last few years with constant repairs. This unit was thrown together and has now cost me so much extra money. I would never recommend buying a Coleman camper. Everything about my unit was thrown together using the cheapest materials possible. Show less

This is a 1 year review. We bought it in early summer 2024. Overall, we feel these trailers are mostly well made with room for improvement. Nothing major went wrong so far, just several small, annoying issues. So, here is the bad. -Stabilizer legs would not work sometimes. I found the problem was a crimped wire joint where the plastic coating was not properly stripped off and so was mostly crimped over the plastic. Easy fix, but was somewhat time consuming to find. -Door latch for the outside pass through compartment stopped working. I had to crawl into the compartment from the other side to open it from the inside since the latch was stuck locked. Again, easy fix, but quite annoying. -Lights in the front compartment, the light on the front cap as well as USB chargers on either side of the bed stopped working. Could not figure this one on my own so I took it to a RV dealer to fix. They could not find the break, assumed it was somewhere in the roof, maybe due to rubbing through or maybe partially damaged by a staple, screw or whatever. They redirected a new wire with a new fuse to fix the issue. -Other small issues were two drawers needing adjustment to enable smoth operation and changing out a light on the front cap because it's cheap and not water proof. Connections rusted out and the light stopped working even before the broken wire issue. Now for the good. -Frame seems very solid, walls seem solid, ride quality is excellent with a shock on each wheel. Slide out works very smoothly. Floor is 3/4 inch plywood and solid. Would I recommend to buy, short answer is yes, but don't expect a perfect product. Inspect each unit based on the assumption that they are individual and the quality will vary. Recommendations to ORV. Inspect more and trace problems to individual workers to better address problems. Consider extending workmanship warranty to three years. In other words, the actual build of the trailer not including appliances, latches, lights and other things not related to the factory build. Happy camping to you all! Show less

What a beauty of a camper. This one is like new. Their log book shows only 6700 miles Large rear windows for a great view. Theater seating , plenty of storage inside & out. The solar system allows for extended remote camping & balances well with plenty of fresh water storage&!gray/black holding. A well thought out w/great ground clearance & easy safe tow package. I had to ask why they are selling? Sadly there are medical issues w/the spouse that are stopping their camping adventures. Show less

This is a basic trailer, but it is easy to tow and has all of the basics you need plus 100W solar and off road tires. It is perfect for weekend or overnight stays. However! There are a few Cons about it. 1. The bathroom is too small and the shower inside is worthless. 2. You cannot pull out the shelves in the fridge because the bathroom door is in the way. Bad design. 3. The fold down futon sofa is too hard on one side and too soft on the other. There is no good fix to make it comfortable. 4. The fold down bunk only holds 100 lbs... So not good for a bigger child. 5. The solar does not run the A/C. Other than those complaints, we are happy with it because it serves our needs. We didn't need anything fancy and spend most of our time outdoors. Most of the time, it is just the two of us and the dog. Show less

Mechanically good: tow hitch, propane tanks, suspension, etc. Although I had to build a new rear bumper because the original was of such light gauge steel it totally buckled after a very slight impact. The "build-out" is of exceedingly poor quality. Virtually all "wood" componets (bed, cabinets, trim, etc.) are low grade and put together with staples. Many staples were not "set" properly and we have been sliced open on exposed staples many times. We have had to replace the water heater 3 times and the very noisy water pump twice. After driving over uneven ground - very slowly in a National Forest campground - the trailer "wracked" (twisted) and now the bathroom door no longer fits its opening and won't close. The fiberglass bath vent hood fell apart after 3 years. So many more things to complain about. The dealer - 120 miles from my home - was of little help. Show less
