thoughts on Coleman Lantern LT Series 16FBWE
Anyone have some experience with this brand "Coleman"? New to this experience, this seems to have a good entry price to try this camping trailer experience out. Any thoughts??

We have a 2017 Coleman 262BH and love it. We have been RV-ing since 1987. I'd say we have some experience. In it's price range it's hard to beat. When we started looking I wanted two axles and my wife wanted a slideout. I personally like the aluminum sides as you never have the delamination, like we had on our motorhome before this RV. We wanted new but, we didn't want to go in real deep financially. The Coleman fit the bill. The pluses for us are, central air and heat, the slideout, the perfect size fridge for us, an RV queen bed that we can get to both sides on, decent storage, it tows straight and easy so, decent weight range for a 27 footer. The Coleman has a curved roof, not a flat roof so it sheds water well. I like that part. The negatives are that it's not super well made. It reminds me of our 1991 Prowler. We loved that trailer BTW. And, I personally don't like the power awning. I'd rather have the manual one.
Nevertheless, people will bust on the Coleman because it's not made like a trailer that cost three times what it cost. It can only be measured against the others at this price point. It stacks up really well, in my opinion. If I was a full timer I think I would want something more substantial. But, I know I would have to spend 7 or 8 times more than I spent.
