I just purchased the couples model and live in mine. With the lack of housing today and insane maintenance of unrealistic real estate. This was the smartest purchase I could have made. It's a spacious and usable comfortable space. My cat and I, Love 💖 it. I work rural and camp full time. Have a river view and farm view❤❤❤
Lot rentals are as expensive as house rentals in my area
I don't mind the bare bones camper, except for the lack of a sink in the bathroom. That's a must for me ... and with kids ... Absolutely!
There are solutions to that!
We have this camper. We’ve had it for about 2 years now. We pretty much live in it lol we’re always taking it somewhere
We love ours! Our friends who have a really expensive camper have had so many issues. I was expecting issues at this price...but its been great!
It’s cute and has what is needed!
We are going on 4 years with this camper. We chose it because it affordable and inexpensive...not cheap. We have had 0 problems. Not 1! We made a few easy mods to make the under bed storage and the under bunk storage easier to access. There is also storage under each bench. None of that was shown. Bummer... because in a small camper like this every bit is important!! My camper is a 2020. We have a 3rd drawer in the kitchen. Other than that it looks the same. That fireplace gives off crazy heat!! We camp 3 seasons no problem. I could go on, but I commented a lot on here. I'm passionate because I gave in to my hubby thinking the same as many on here. I'm so happy I did. Id say though...don't buy a 2022. Supply issues and shortcuts according to our FB group.
The 17R is an awesome rig too. Great video!
This is a good option that’s affordable!
Thanks for this video, well done! You mentioned a Jeep Wrangler. I have a Wrangler Unlimited with a 3,500 max tow cap. Could I tow this trailer?
I like the idea a lot honestly the only issues I have is no bathroom sink really need that in a bathroom just super weird it doesn't have one and then the construction I know it's cheap but I still feel like the construction wouldn't last long especially with kids I'd rather see a sink in the bathroom and beef up the construction materials so it's stronger even if that adds to the cost some otherwise I seriously loved the very simple layout oh and one more thing electric fireplace needs to go 😂 rather just use a small space heater if there's hook ups or even a mr buddy heater if off grid just my thoughts on this one thanks for showing always look forward to seeing new videos
Yeah, the heater never cuts off in the winter because the cold leaks through the walls. I guess that's where the thermostat is in the heater, instead of in the cabin where it needs to be. AC runs all the time in the summer. Basically no insulation, so it sucks above 85°.
@@williamjohnston4039 ya I totally understand trailers rvs can't be that cheap and maybe I just don't know enough but already feel like they spend more on how it looks and what it has on the inside then the build itself I fully stand by what I said might only be for me but still fix those few things and perfect trailer for camping
@ericfifer539 oh yeah, if you just want to go camping a few times, it'd do fine. For people who travel for work, or trying to save on rent, it's pathetic.
9995 is possible price on these.
Buy a smaller higher quality one for a couple grand more. Something under 1700 lbs so a 4 cylinder car could pull it, too.
I’ve watched several videos on camper trailers and heard bad things about this particular model. Like that side mounted A/C leaking and the refrigerator not getting cold. It looks like a decent enough camper but in my opinion, you are better off giving a little more if you plan on staying in it for any real amount of time.
A little more money? My friends have a rig 3x as much and they've had it in a lot. The side mount air...ours hasn't leaked. We always tilt to the opposite side as a precaution. Fridge no issues. Just wish it was house sized. So we bought a great cooler.
Put the price in the description…
The Camping World in my area of Arkansas has them for around $14k.
Don't expect much from the Coleman Lantern. It is cheaply built. I wish I would've researched it more, but the low price, and Coleman name, made me think it might be ok. My floor started sagging a few months ago. Guess what isn't covered in the three year structural warranty. My camper isn't even two years old. I emailed Dutchmen, and never got a response. The rooftop antenna also has never worked. Camper World doesn't have a mobile repair where I'm at. I bought this to live in when I took a new job, so putting it in the shop is not an option. Can't trade it in because I still owe $19k on a $16k camper (after 21 months). Stay away from M&T Bank. There are only two power outlets inside, and no USB or 12v power port. The insulation is terrible. You can see the outside skin from inside in some areas. You will need to put a real mattress in it. There is no outside light, but the wiring is run to the control panel for it. I got a light and switch for less than $15. C'mon, Coleman. Do better. The new 17R has a better floor plan if there's only two people. This is a good camper for folks who need a light camper and only want to go out a few times a year, and it better be in the Spring or Fall. Anything outside of 35°F - 85°F, and you'll wish you would've stayed home or gotten a motel. Spend a little more for quality.
oh Lord you were at a camper land display I am surprised they didn't change you a dealer fee for just stepping inside and looking at it , that little camper probably had a extra 4k mark up in dealer fees oh you do want the extended warranty right and our priority service plan we will put you at the front of the line for any service work or warranty repairs
I own this. 4 years now no issues. Just picked it up from storage. Looking forward to driving on the east coast this time. 😊
You get what you pay for here..... Wouldn't spend a dime on that trailer.
4 years for us. Not 1 issue yet.
Lol ok bud
I agree, I made the mistake of buying one last year from rip off world. At that time they were $15995.00, after everything was said and done it was $18000 out the door, now they are advertised at $12995, I’m completely upside down on it
Now onto the camper, the thing leaked water from the sink right away, whoever built it never tightened the drain/trap for the sink, it leaked and water stained the bottom of the cabinets
The a/c is a window unit, it wasn’t installed correctly there is a ambient temperature sensor in the condenser, it let water run down the water and drip off the front of the a/c unit down onto the bed.
The refrigerator is starting to act up and we’ve only used this thing 3 times since January 2023 but we’re so far upside down on it we can’t sell it
NEVER AGAIN!
@@DennisBurger-hc3ieI'm thinking about just parking mine at my house and getting something else. Add it to the list of mistakes I've made in my life, and just go on. Maybe rent it out during hunting season.
I don’t like the heat source the fake fireplace. Sorry not big on that. That is no seller for me.
It heats amazingly. We set ours like a thermostat. Its a small camper. Doesn't take much. At campgrounds we don't have to worry about running out of propane in colder temps. The ambience is awesome. We put ours on dark blue while sleeping.
It’s also very cheaply made lol
YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!
No good it’s terrible
Totally disagree!
I got my own land, my own generators and power source, my own water too. I'd plan on living in here full time so I can save on travel time and spend more time on construction. Ideally, 3 years??
Would this guy last me that long? I'm in colorado so I'd need to winterize this thing too.
Put it under a car port. These aren’t made great. Seal it yearly.
This thing is no good under 35°...maybe 30°. Under 20° and you'll need to wear a jacket inside. The insulation is terrible. There are areas where there is no insulation in the walls. The area under the sink matches the temperature outside (hot or cold). It got down to single digits here in central Arkansas, and I had condensation frozen on the door frame inside. You'll definitely need some kind of skirting. I used styrofoam board the first year. This past winter I double layered a 10mil tarp. Both worked good down to about 25° to keep underneath above freezing. Our cold spells don't generally last more than a few days at a time, tho. I put a small 1500w space heater under a couple of days when it really dropped.
