Looks like it's over weight to me. That RV is 36'11 overall and almost 8K dry weight... The Expy is suppose to pull a max 9K... I wouldn't hook 9K to it... And 36 feet is loooooong for that size of a SUV.... - bfourmanExplorer

This is our first self contained unit..
2001 Coleman Caravan.. front slide out bed, and side slide out couch.
Went back to fleetwood in 2006 under warranty for new foor and updated trim / seals.
Has a great floorplan for us.. and the Durango tows it easily.
This is how it looked 3 weeks ago when I got it.. stickers were well worn and peeling, but the inside was super clean.
We took it on its first trip over Labor Day weekend to Lime Rock Park in CT for the vintage racing festival.. Had a blast.
Never seen a trailer like that. It is really nice and has a ton of room.
Jayco and Keystone Outback have these floorplans in the reverse with the bunk sliding out of the rear instead. This coleman floorplan likely has a very heavy hitch weight.
Looks great!
Aerolite also made the reverse floorplan, we love it. - ezmobeeExplorer

That looks amazing! Those racing stripes appear to be readily available on ebay. I'm totally stealing that idea someday for my camper and/or boat. - Mike_UpExplorer

I also like what you did with it. Looks very nice! Where did you get the tree/moon decals in the second picture?
ebay seller has them in a smaller size.. I asked her to enlarge them and make me a left and a right side.
If you look at item # 320513779196 you'll see the little $5.99 decal she carries..
She modified it to remove some of the bottom, and stretched it to 24" long.. I think I paid $60 for the pair shipped.
I think I've got $155 in total in to the new vinyl and Coleman stickers.. It was worth the effort, the camper looks much nicer now. - 2012ColemanExplorer II

That IS a nice unique one! Lots of room. Eventually, we'll up grade to a TT with slideouts, and I sure hope we can find what we want.
I like buying used...and then doing some fixing up provided it's a solid water tight camper to begin with.
NICE JOB and nice TT.
