Dutchmen KODIAK 175BH 175BH reviews

We love our Kodiac Cub! It was so easy to tow and had everything we could need including an incredible amount of storage! The bunks are perfect for our family. I would absolutely recommend this trailer to anyone! Show less

We bought this unit because of its size and layout. We have a driveway with a steep approach and anything bigger would probably not make it from the street to the drive without scraping. The layout suits us nicely but... A friend and I took it out first on a rock hounding trip and upon getting it to the campsite, we opened it up to find EVERY surface inside covered in a thick layer of dust. It took over an hour to clean everything off to the point that we could use it. Needless to say, it went back to the dealer immediately upon return home. It was there 2 weeks and they said it was fixed. The under belly penetrations, and the wheel wells hadn't been sealed. My wife and I took it out 2 weeks later and had the same problem. We stopped at several camps where we had to AGAIN spend time wiping down dust from every interior surface each time. On the way out, we drove from the campsite about 2 miles to the pavement and stopped. We opened the door and there was literally a cloud of dust swirling about inside. I finally found the problem while washing the unit prior to returning it again to the dealer. There was no seal on the front of the unit, under the cheesy plastic "diamond plate" and only one screw, which had fallen out, holding that down. It was again returned to the dealer and it looks like the problem is fixed this time. In addition, the hot water heater crapped out on both of the initial outings. This too looks like it has been fixed. Bottom line, Dutchmen's quality control is nonexistent and I would NOT purchase another of their products. Show less

This is an excellent camper. All space is very well thought out. Pulls and travels great! Super floor plan has many nice features such as LED lighting, shower, toilet,stove,microwave, and would highly recommend! Great quality. Love the bear cage aluminum construction. Show less

We loved the 175BH, at first. However after first trip out we had several poor workmanship issues that serviced. Peeling wall paper, window not latching, roof vent not opening all the way. Took that in and got all of the above repaired. Next trip...back for repair of bunk bed that was made with defective particle board that was cracking. It would not of held any weight if someone had slept on it. There were multiple screw holes under in the storage pass thru but no screws were in the drilled holes. Again it was fixed by the dealership. Each trip that we went on demonstrated another workmanship error. Bad wiring, refrigerator went out 3 times before it was finally replaced. Today on the way home from a camping trip the back wheel just broke off and flew across the freeway. Thank God no one was hit and we were able to steer the truck and trailer to safety with the one side dragging on the axel...very scary. Be aware of this poorly made craft. It is if it was the practice model for all the other models that followed. DO NOT BUY IT. Show less
