Dutchmen Coleman reviews

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

We've owned this camper now for three years and really haven't had any issues that would warrant a negative review. When we first bought this new unit from Camping World, they were very professional and walked us through the entire operation on setting up and prepping the rig for towing. We did have some issues with trim around the dinette area, and the awning LED light wouldn't work at times. I was able to get the trailer in to be fixed and after that trip I've had zero issues. This is a huge step up from the pop-up camper we started off with, but well worth the investment. Biggest thing is maintenance, and I'm a beast when it comes to making sure all my wheeled vehicles are ready to roll. Show less

Being a stickler for quality and craftsmanship, I was not impressed with the quality of materials used on this RV. For example, the “floor” reminded me of wood paneling commonly found on walls! I expected there to be a sheet of heavy plywood. Despite all, I was sold on the floor plan, cost, and visions of family fun. Once we took delivery, the flimsiness became a glaring issue so much so, that we called the deal to ask them if we could return it. Besides the materials and construction, I did not like the constant wobble associated with walking and sleeping in this unit. My biggest safety issue arose when the carbon monoxide detector came on. All I did was turn on the propane tank then shut it off. Apparently, the subsequent gas in the line leaked into the compartment. My advice is to look past the price, floor plan and attractive interior and focus on the craftsmanship which should lead you to your answer as to whether or not to purchase. Show less

So far so good. No major issues. Drove 50 miles to bring it home all the cabinets were all closed. Issues were mainly a dealer issue no battery cover with unit. The wiring for the solar connection was like a 2nd grader did it, in fact i think a 2nd grader could have done a better job wiring it better but thats just me. The lay out is excellent for my first RV. Show less

Quality of construction is poor compared to other units we have owned since 1970. Problems with tires, recliners and hot water heater and we only used it six nights and traveled less than 1,000 miles. We replaced china tires with US made Goodyears. We replaced the lippert recliners and chaise with residential recliners. Engineers forgot to provide storage for the sewer hose. Several drawers and cabinets had loose hardware. We do like the floor plan and hope we did not make a mistake when we purchased this unit. At this time, we would not purchase another Keystone product. Show less

Bought a new 2021 Coleman LT 17b. Used it 4 weekends. Plumbing leaks, bumper needs to be replaced due too broken welds. Best of all it needs a new roof due too cracks, rot and wet wood. Welcome to the world of camping. Show less

My camper is a 2021 Dutchman Coleman Rubicon 1628BH. Too many problems to list. I have never purchased anything in my life that is such poor quality. There is no pride in the manufacturing at whatever location this RV was built. If I could get all my money back that I've spent on this turd, I would still be at a loss for all the time and irritation I've spent trying to "make the best of it". I have so much regret. Don't be like me. Spend you hard earned money on something that is worth it. Don't buy a Coleman/Dutchman RV, ever. Show less
