I've narrowed my search down to two trailers. The 2018 Coleman Lantern 285BH and a 2018 Dutchmen Aspen Trail 2750BHS. On the surface, both seem similar. Anyone out there have experience with these? Should I avoid one of them? I'm also still considering a few others, but the Dutchmen and Coleman are on my short list.

Either one. Now, consider how convenient and how accessible the bathroom, beds, stove, refrigerator, and sink are with the slide pulled in.FYI, We've been there:

Plenty of leg (knee) room? Sink large enough? Shower tall enough? Enough room to dry off? If they are both similar, whichever one has a more comfortable "throne room".

In the real world Dutchmen is a Thor company, Coleman is one of Dutchmen's branded lines, and Forest River has nothing at all to do with either. :R
