I have a Coleman RTS 192 and had no problem but I can confirm that mine is not perfect at no means but the memories are priceless. I spent 20 years in the military living in tents from time to time but having a bathroom with shower is a game changer.
That’s an excellent way to put it.
I'm retiring in a few months and this looks just right for a single traveler like me!
Congratulations! If you decide to get one come back and let us know what you think.
I purchased a 2022 17B, the roof peeled, so I have lots of water damage. The warranty company decided it was a total loss, so they were gonna put me in a 2023 17B. Would not let me switch to the 17R. This was in January. Now, in the middle of September and they are just getting the paperwork finalized but now I'm getting a 2024 17B. Camping World is gonna then swap me out equal trade in for the 2024 17R I want. So, hopefully, in a few weeks, I'll be in the 17R and not have any roof issues.
Holy smokes! That’s a long time to wait. But, hopefully you’ll be happy with your new one. Come back and let us know what you think once you get it!
I camp alone (single) and I would still pick the 17B. It gives a place to sleep on those very rare instances it's needed and the bunks can be used for storage space when not used for sleeping.
That’s a good point.
You sre right. I am rethinking it. May need the bunk. Top for storage closet
👍🏻
Or you can just snuggle with the homies when they need a spot to sleep
Good point
Your video was good sales pitch. And your model is of course last years. The 2025 model has pretty much the same things except the water heater is now on demand and the cabinets open out instead of up. We just took delivery of ours yesterday from Camping World Calera, Ala.
Come back and let us know what you think of it.
I hsve been looking for a year or so. I keep coming back to this one. Bathroom Bathroom Bathroom. Bed, not so much. So much you can do though. Many ideas. Small sofa where dining is or a work bar across. Not much of a inside hangout place. It can work for the price. Upgrade are available. Its nice for starters.
Those are some pretty good ideas. If you go with this one, let us know what you think.
What a great review!!!! Good job guys!
Hey hey! Thank you!
I look forward to review this thing y’all are great together keep it up
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support!!!
Another great review, thanks for sharing another great unit with us. Be well and God bless.
Absolutely! Thank you for the encouragement!
We just bought one in July and love it :)
Nice! What are your favorite features??
We LOVE our Coleman 17R. It's perfect for us. We were the first ones to purchase in the state of Oklahoma. It's a GREAT first camper.
Heck yeah! That’s awesome. Thanks for your insight!
We are in Houston TX getting ours in soon! Any tips you can give based on your experience so far? We are a married couple with no kids. Neither of us are very tall. We don’t need much space and got tired of the $1,700/mo
Mortgage and rising taxes 🙄
How is the 17r holding up? I was looking into getting one soon
@andrewgarcia1055 I’m interested to hear, too.
Im the type of guy that would buy this but do some extra mods.... reseal the roof which is pretty easy....weld supports on the frame underneath especially where the hitch assembly connects to the frame. All cheap and easy mods that will make that thing last a loooong time 😆
Sounds pretty smart to me!!!
Man you guys sure are good at reviews! Seems like a nice camper for it's size and weight. Personally, I won't own a single axle trailer. I have been towing trailers for over 45 years now from singles, tandems, and even a 45' long triple axle 5th wheel beast. Based on my experience, I'd rather have a trailer a little bit heavier with tandem axles. Thank you for the good work that you do!
That’s very kind of you to say! We really appreciate it. Thank you for your insight in the limitations with the single-axle. That’s a good point.
@@ReviewThisThing Besides much better stability when driving in crosswinds, when (not if) you have a blow out you'll deeply appreciate that second axle...
@@artillerybuff2000 that makes a lot of sense.
@@ReviewThisThing Single axle travel trailers are safe to tow and have been in use for many years. The drawbacks of a single axle trailer are its cargo carrying capacity, braking distance, and if you have a blow out. Single axle trailers can maneuver better than its double axle counterpart. max speed is around 55 mph...coleman is trying to cut the cost of their trailers...
Ahhhh. That makes sense.
Great review. I love the reviews on the campers!
Hey! Thank you! And thank you For watching!
The really good news is that it can be powered by the jackery 3000 pro with the help, of adapters, and or, an f150 powerboost... Also a inexpensive dual fuel generator... love it and thank you!
Well, that’s cool. I assume you like the Jackery?
Was just posting ideas
That’s great! I’ve been curious about the Jackery products!
@@ReviewThisThing yeah, the 3000 pro, has a 30 amp outlet... Test and post a review...
@richardholmes3381 we should!
Great review. Waiting for these to drop around 10k like the B's are now .
Thank you! That would be awesome!
I bought the 2024 Coleman Lantern 17r. I love it for a single person it’s perfect. If you have time Can you explain the solar stuff for it. I’m not understand quite how it works. Thank you
I am definitely not a solar expert. It seems there are a lot of pieces involved to make it work how you want, depending on your need. Hopefully someone else on here will answer for you!
I bought my yesterday not for traveling but for my daily living
I hope you love it. Come back and let us know what you think.
I’m going to do the same in about two months. Been van living for past year.
I thought this was the rv for my wife and I to tow on our suv but you’re the first video I’ve seen that has shown the size of that shower. I’m 6’1 and my wife is 5’7 this was a let down. But it seems I’ll have to go in person and shop then.
If you decide it’s not too small, let us know!
I'll be going there soon :D
If you get one, let us know what you think!
This looks better than the 17B-
I dont have kids. Dont need a Bunk bed.
There ya go. But, one positive we thought of to the bunk beds - without needing beds - is having more space to store things and/or leave them out without being in the way.
It’s a sweet trailer.!. But, I would need a two or three stepper to get inside. &, A nice window in front of the trailer next to the bed.?. Other than that it’s a affordable trailer for a single or a couple.!.😊😇🙏🏽👍
Good points!
I just brought mine home late last night so I haven’t even gotten a chance to really explore it yet.
Nice! Come back and let us m ow what you think once you’ve used it some!
Update: the 17r just got a makeover. North/south bed, double door fridge with storage above. Under bed reach storage just to name afew. I really like the new floor plan. Bed had a cabinet now to. Oh ya and extra plugs.
Oooh. We’ll have to check it out.
@@ReviewThisThing I think it will be standard on 2025 models.
@ericj810 that’s nice!
Hi
What’s in that space under the fridge? Can a larger fridge be installed if that’s just storage?
That's a great question. I don't remember looking down there. It doesn't open to be a cabinet or drawer, so I would assume there are some electrical components possibly. Anyone else know?
Unfortunately I have been disappointed with many products that carry the Coleman label now for past few years. Not sure I would trust them on this either. Looks nice though.
We haven’t taken it out in the road. I’d loved to hear what owners/users of this would have to say.
I am thinking about getting one of these. It says solar ready, but no one at the dealership will discuss solar with me. I recently discovered that Coleman has a proprietary solar package that makes it difficult to have panels mounted on top. Can you briefly explain this to me?
Ah. Unfortunately I only know what they advertise, BUT there have been a few folks on here that do know. They seem to say it’s more difficult than CW lets on. Maybe someone will answer.
@@ReviewThisThing thank you!
@jacquelinejensen5360 👍🏻👍🏻
Coleman's are budget friendly. $16,000. That being said, they are cheaply made. Difference between this size Coleman compared to better quality built trailers of this size is price. The better mini trailers of this size $24,000-$28,000 compared to Coleman $16,000.
Good to know. Thank you!
Yes my wife and I purchased a Jayco 212 QB for $26,000 .
Thank you!
At the same time a 28k$ camper of the same size can fall apart real fast. Bullet proof is in the range of airstream/grand design. ( seen a new grand design spring a water leak and destroy the floor underneath ) For the price and you know a lil diy camper stuff this thing will serve well.
@ericj810 great point.
I will purchase a Coleman17R from Camping World next week!🌍
Let us know what you think
👍Review.
Thank you!
can the fridge run from shore power
That's a great question. I would assume so, but reach out to your local camping world to make sure!
is the formaledehyde smell strong?
Hmmm…I didn’t notice anything, but we did have all the windows open because it was pretty hot out.
Do a review on generators

That’s handy!
Ours leaks at the a.c.also when it rains.Anybody got a fix the dealer us not much help.
Hopefully someone has a good tip!!!
Dealer has repaired our leaky a.c.hoo ray camping world at Braidwood,IL.
Well that’s good to hear.
FYI Calling that parallel connection to the battery terminals a "solar ready connection" is a blatant lie. These Lanterns are not Solar Ready by any means.
Ah. Okay. Thank you. What would they need to be able to advertise that?
@@ReviewThisThing They shouldn't advertise it as "Solar Ready". "Solar Ready" implies MC4 connectors and a charge controller like an MPPT. The Lantern comes with neither. They make it seem like you can hook up an unregulated solar panel right to that connector. That's a really bad practice.
@Velocentric ahhh. That makes sense. Thank you for the information.
Not a leveling jack... stabilizer jack... not for use in leveling the tt
👍🏻👍🏻
Can't believe there's no furnace - disappointing
Yeah. That would help
@@ReviewThisThingmy biggest thing was the tallest person that could remotely shower comfortably was 5’4
@KDlGG yeah - comfortably it’s pretty tight
That’s a 5000BTU not a 13,500.
AC?
No Spare? No thanks.how Cheeeeeeep Colemen!!
A spare would be very nice.
No spare tire,no front stabilizers, small widows,unprotected subfloor, and the build quality is very poor.Coleman should stick too lanterns and stoves.
There definitely seem to be some trade offs for it being $16,000.
I like the mileage I get towing it.
What are you towing it with?
