Can someone point me in the direction for research please?
Hello all,
I am new to this forum. I presently own a 1993 Coleman Williamsburg popup camper. I have owned it about 3-4 years and my wife and I renovated the interior as well as some axle/wheel modifications. Overall it is solid and dependable mechanically. No leaks, no mechanical faults, and the shell and roof are in good shape.
I would like to research Hybrid campers in the $7500-9000 range, which will likely be 2006-2010. We saw a Rockwood Roo 19 beside us recently, so this style would be what we would look for. Also under 6500 towing capacity for a 2015 v6 Toyota Tacoma.
To be as brief as possible, I want to eliminate manufacturers or years that were known to have massive defects for this period. Not preferences based upon like/dislike, but known lemons.
Example, after 1993, Coleman popup campers had some years of slow sales. By 1996 they changed their popup roofs to using recycled bits bonded with epoxy. Around 1996 roofs began to fail as a result of this, followed by lawsuits, and then the company was sold. For this reason, I avoided looking at any Coleman campers from 1996 - 2000 to be safe.
I have read lots of posts from various people with various campers and of course some folks have leaks, some don't. Some dealers were good, some were not. Some fiberglass delaminated, some did not.
In sum, I am not looking for this. I am looking to know if there are any manufacturers or hybrid models from 2006-2010 to absolutely avoid because of well-know manufacturing defects or shoddy work?
Thanks!
Jamie
