The only real concern I have with Coleman is that some of their trailers are raw wood (OSB) on the bottom and tend to rot.
You can look up under the RV to tell for sure.
The bottom is covered. Besides wood, what are other materials they use? And how can I tell the difference?
Most likely there are not huge differences in the materials used, the people used to build them, or the means and methods. The Aspen Trail may even be built in the same plant or on the same line as the Coleman.
We had a 2011 Dutchmen Aerolite hybrid. At the time it was mostly the same as the Coleman hybrids and Kodiak hybrids even down to some of the floor plans. As an example our 185E was basically the same trailer as the Kodiak 181E and the Coleman CTE184. The differences were mostly decals and color schemes, and price. The Coleman was $2K min more as you were paying for the licensing for them to use the Coleman name.
