New to the RV thing, I'm looking at the Dutchmen Eco 15' anyone out there have advice or experience with this beast! Lol!

I went and looked at it with him.
Initially, it looked pretty good with the exception that the seal on the roof at the front was open cracked the full length.
Kinda had a "musty" smell :?
Humm, this bears a closer inspection.
Found some minor indication of a water stain on the bench wood but not bad.
Pulled the seat cushions off and seat wood still looked pretty good
Seat wood is not hinged, flipped it to look inside and bad mold
Went back and flipped the seat cushions and bad mold, surprised I did not spot it earlier.
They had flipped the seat wood in hopes we would not find it.
This was a run far far away from this unit.

OnePocketRon is back on the hunt :B

From what I found on the internet, it is a discontinued model. I don't see too much about them. Hopefully, some owners will reply and be of more help.

Since it is an ultralight, be sure to look out for where they may have cut corners to save weight such as flooring that is too thin and flexes or lightweight cabinets thast are poorly built. I'm not against lightweight trailers, but some that I've seen didn't look like they would hold up over the long haul. Assuming that you are looking at a used trailer, make sure that you've looked at a lot of comparable trailers and know how to look for signs of water leaks and damage, roof problems, etc.

If the trailer is free of any major defects and priced right for your budget, it may be a good one to buy.
