Any opinions on Dutchmen TT's

Dutchmen is sort've an entry-level brand. There's nothing wrong with that, just don't expect the fanciest model appliances or cabinetmaker fit and finish. That's why the price is lower. That said, our first TT was a 2007 Dutchmen 29QGS. We towed it around 9,000 miles and lived in it full time for nearly three years while building our house. Never really had any problem with it other than the cheap Chinese tires that came on it.

I bought my first TT around two weeks ago, a 2001 Dutchmen Sport 25f. I think It is a great trailer, does the same job the more expensive ones do.

I have 2008 29QS and have not had any problems. Bought it new. I have no problems . Just do matinance and take care of it and it will be fine. Yes it is not as nice on the inside as some but it has served us well.

Make sure it operates smoothly across the entire range of travel in and out with no unusual sounds. Clunks, bangs, and cat-like sounds are bad. With the slide in, inspect the seals on the inside of the slide to ensure they are in good shape. Ensure the outside seals mate up completely on the outside of the unit (you're going to need a ladder). With the slide out, check the exposed seals for condition and check the other set to ensure they mate up completely.
With the slide out, check the floor for softness or other signs of water damage. Also check the header for any signs of water damage.

We had an 2004 Dutchmen Sport and had no issues with it. It was our 1st TT after our pop-up. We loved it at first, but it had a corner bed and that was the only reason we traded for a new one a few years later. The only thing wrong with the camper was the corner bed and it had no oven. We really wanted an oven too.

Dutchmen is made by Thor Industries, and I am now on my 3rd TT by Thor (Dutchmen, Springdale, Outback). All have been good and we've had no issues with any of them.

The camper you are considering is 4 years old. If the previous owner took care of it, it should be in good shape. If you are purchasing from a dealer, they should have gone through it, inspected, and fixed anything. If you're purchasing privately, you need to check everything. Start with the roof and work your way to the tires on the ground. Ask if the wheel bearings have been repacked lately. Look for water stains on the ceiling, and if the ceiling has been freshly painted ... run! It probably had a leak and someone is trying to cover it up.

If the camper has been well maintained, you should comfortably get another 4 or 5 years out of it. Our Dutchmen 04 had a 10 year "guarantee" on the rubber roof. Not sure how long they should last now-a-days. They've improved since then also.

Hope this helps.
Good luck.

We have a 2007 Dutchmen bought used 3 years ago. We have had no problems whatsoever. X2 what the previous poster said.

Love the one in my sig...

Had a 2010 Freedom Spirit TT. Made by Dutchman. Had serious problems with lippert axles. Repair was done as part of warranty you may want to check on the wear of your tires . Search lippert axles you will find many issues with this type of TT.
Sold it, now own a Jayco. Better pulling experience big difference.

We have been very satisfied with the TT in my signature ever since we bought it new.

We had a 94 Classic 31' for 18 yrs. All of the appliances were original and still worked great. The fridge thermocouple was a oddball that had to be ordered, I just kept an extra on hand. This was the biggest concern, had to replace it maybe 5 times. Having to order it made it more memorable. I think I had 2 extras with it when we sold it.

We did basic maintenance and up keep items. We would make a list of items we wanted to fix or modify every time we went out. I would try to go through the list before the next outing. It gave us a lot of dependable service. Worst thing I remember was hitting my head on the slide out header.
