pop up question
I have a travel trailer that I have camped in for the past 7 years. I know zip about popups. However, I just came across a 1997 Coleman Sun Ridge that is mint. The owner wants $2500. NADA book is $150...

Check the roof carefully. Coleman campers were not BUILT by Coleman and there were a number of years where roofs were very problematic (cracking, sagging and leaking). Coleman and their builder ended up parting company over the issue. Also since it was mentioned, the front truck models also had a LOT leaking issue in that front storage compartment.
Coleman actually builds NOTHING. they just lease their name to manufacturers. There is nothing special about products with the Coleman name.
Fleetwood built the Coleman pups to Coleman specs. The roof problem was fixed befor Fleetwood, and Coleman parted ways, and Fleetwood continued to build the pups under thier own name. until they went bankrupt. FTCA built Coleman pups untill 2011. Then they too went out of business. So it appears no one is making Coleman pups at this time.
At present Dutchman RV is building the Coleman line of Traveltrailers.
