2013 Coleman 16QB mods,side mount A/C owners beware

After two trips to Camping World for warranty repairs on the A/C and refrigerator the fridge is all they fixed. The goofball that designed the side mount A/C drain pan / cover never seen that the way they had it it could not drain anywhere but into the wall. I showed this to Camping World service two times and they said it was working as it should even after water running into the wall and dripping out of the inside of the back window. So we took it all apart dried it out and fixed it so it drains to the outside now by cutting the bottom of the A/C cover out and using a piece of flashing to extend the edge of the drip pan. Also with the bathroom door was eight inches from the front of the toilet making the toilet all but useless unless you are double jointed. Just a poor design so we extended the wall out so the wall and door is now 90 deg to the back wall. Now you even have room to use the toilet and dress in the bath after showering. We also added plexiglass to the screen door,and a grab bar. Added wheeled storage bends to the front compartment so it was usable. And day night blinds to the windows, with real curtains. I would post pictures if I could figure out how.
  • Sounds like you have solved some problems. The only problem that you have now created is that your warrantee on your trailer will be void with all the alterations.
  • Just curious...why'd you buy the trailer in the first place if the toilet was useless?
  • We had been looking for a new TT for about a year. In Jan. 2013 my wife found this Coleman on the internet at a local CW priced at just a little over half what they were selling for. We drove to CW and ask if we could see it and they showed it to us. I ask why the price on the table was higher than the price on the internet. The sales lady looked on her sheet and showed me the price, I got on my smart phone and showed her the internet price, we went and talked with the sales manager, he called his manager, they sold us the TT for the price listed on the internet. We got such a great deal in it I can afford to tweek it here and there. The sad part is that when we went back to CW about a month later for the fridge to be fixed both the sales lady and sales manager had been replaced.
