Dutchmen ASTORIA 3173RLP reviews

We bought this Astoria brand new back in June 2023. Had it two days and a limb fall through roof. 6 months later, we finally get it back from repairs. The only issue has been the Haier fridge hasnt worked and had to be replaced, but so far we are really enjoying this trailer. Beautiful interior, great storage and all the comforts to glamp. I had a reese goosebox installed and it pulls like a dream. Overall only months into it, but we love it so far. Would recommend. Show less

The floor-plan is similar to a lot of 5th wheels and it works well for us. A king size bed, large shower, and plenty of storage for everything we need for extended trips. No issues yet with the quality of the build and included appliances. Show less

We thought we had found the perfect 5th wheel, great floor plan, beautiful interior, all the features we could imagine and then some... then we took it out on our first trip. We began having numerous issues from the first day... much of the interior wood trim fell off, refrigerator quit, water heater worked on and off randomly so I started off retirement researching problems and doing repairs. Then 2 days ago the water heater shorted out and started a fire! Fortunately I was here when it started and grabbed the fire extinguisher, pulled the pin and pushed the button... NOTHING!!! I frantically began tearing apart the buffet to get to where I could reach the flames and somehow managed to beat the flames out with a piece of wood I tore off the buffet. Through it all the breaker never kicked out and the smoke alarms never went off! Had I not been here we would have lost our brand new RV, pets and all... had it happened in the middle of the night I am certain my wife and I would have perished along with them. After clearing out the smoke I called Dutchman to make a warranty claim and let them know I was heading to the ER for issues with smoke inhalation... if it was my company, I would have at least called a customer that our defect could have killed to check on them and assure I would get to the bottom of all the safety issues and correct them, Obviously Dutchman doesn't feel the same. I don't know what it will take yet to get it repaired and don't know if we will ever feel safe in it again! Show less
