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??
  • It has the “old” look with aluminum sides and I’m not a fan of single axel TTs. You won’t be either after your first tire blowout. Less than 700 pounds for cargo is not good. Neither is only 27 gallons of fresh water.
  • No shower surround, no oven, tiny 5000 btu A/c....only 600 lb ccc Not good IMO
  • Too vague a question to answer, it really depends on what you want, your budget, how many people, etc. This is a single axle entry level trailer, no slide, tiny fridge, with limited cargo capacity but for some could be a suitable choice. Question is - can you tow a trailer that will likely weigh close to it's GVWR of 3850 lbs?

    As you can see from my SIG we have a 19' couple's trailer as well but it's quite a bit different in many ways from this Coleman, which you presumably realize is built by Dutchmen and is "Coleman" by name only.
