Coleman Lantern 17R - The Best Couples RV Travel Trailer? 

I have a Coleman RTS 192 and had no problem but I can confirm that mine is not perfect at no means but the memories are priceless. I spent 20 years in the military living in tents from time to time but having a bathroom with shower is a game changer.

I'm retiring in a few months and this looks just right for a single traveler like me!

I purchased a 2022 17B, the roof peeled, so I have lots of water damage. The warranty company decided it was a total loss, so they were gonna put me in a 2023 17B. Would not let me switch to the 17R. This was in January. Now, in the middle of September and they are just getting the paperwork finalized but now I'm getting a 2024 17B. Camping World is gonna then swap me out equal trade in for the 2024 17R I want. So, hopefully, in a few weeks, I'll be in the 17R and not have any roof issues.

Another great review, thanks for sharing another great unit with us. Be well and God bless.

What a great review!!!! Good job guys!

Great review. I love the reviews on the campers!

I look forward to review this thing y’all are great together keep it up

We just bought one in July and love it :)

I camp alone (single) and I would still pick the 17B. It gives a place to sleep on those very rare instances it's needed and the bunks can be used for storage space when not used for sleeping.

I hsve been looking for a year or so. I keep coming back to this one. Bathroom Bathroom Bathroom. Bed, not so much. So much you can do though. Many ideas. Small sofa where dining is or a work bar across. Not much of a inside hangout place. It can work for the price. Upgrade are available. Its nice for starters.

Great review. Waiting for these to drop around 10k like the B's are now .

Man you guys sure are good at reviews! Seems like a nice camper for it's size and weight. Personally, I won't own a single axle trailer. I have been towing trailers for over 45 years now from singles, tandems, and even a 45' long triple axle 5th wheel beast. Based on my experience, I'd rather have a trailer a little bit heavier with tandem axles. Thank you for the good work that you do!

I'll be going there soon :D

Im the type of guy that would buy this but do some extra mods.... reseal the roof which is pretty easy....weld supports on the frame underneath especially where the hitch assembly connects to the frame. All cheap and easy mods that will make that thing last a loooong time 😆

We LOVE our Coleman 17R. It's perfect for us. We were the first ones to purchase in the state of Oklahoma. It's a GREAT first camper.

I bought the 2024 Coleman Lantern 17r. I love it for a single person it’s perfect. If you have time Can you explain the solar stuff for it. I’m not understand quite how it works. Thank you

I thought this was the rv for my wife and I to tow on our suv but you’re the first video I’ve seen that has shown the size of that shower. I’m 6’1 and my wife is 5’7 this was a let down. But it seems I’ll have to go in person and shop then.

The really good news is that it can be powered by the jackery 3000 pro with the help, of adapters, and or, an f150 powerboost... Also a inexpensive dual fuel generator... love it and thank you!

👍Review.

I bought my yesterday not for traveling but for my daily living

Hi What’s in that space under the fridge? Can a larger fridge be installed if that’s just storage?

It’s a sweet trailer.!. But, I would need a two or three stepper to get inside. &, A nice window in front of the trailer next to the bed.?. Other than that it’s a affordable trailer for a single or a couple.!.😊😇🙏🏽👍

I just brought mine home late last night so I haven’t even gotten a chance to really explore it yet.

Update: the 17r just got a makeover. North/south bed, double door fridge with storage above. Under bed reach storage just to name afew. I really like the new floor plan. Bed had a cabinet now to. Oh ya and extra plugs.

This looks better than the 17B- I dont have kids. Dont need a Bunk bed.

can the fridge run from shore power

is the formaledehyde smell strong?

I am thinking about getting one of these. It says solar ready, but no one at the dealership will discuss solar with me. I recently discovered that Coleman has a proprietary solar package that makes it difficult to have panels mounted on top. Can you briefly explain this to me?

Unfortunately I have been disappointed with many products that carry the Coleman label now for past few years. Not sure I would trust them on this either. Looks nice though.

Do a review on generators

I will purchase a Coleman17R from Camping World next week!🌍

Ours leaks at the a.c.also when it rains.Anybody got a fix the dealer us not much help.

Coleman's are budget friendly. $16,000. That being said, they are cheaply made. Difference between this size Coleman compared to better quality built trailers of this size is price. The better mini trailers of this size $24,000-$28,000 compared to Coleman $16,000.

Not a leveling jack... stabilizer jack... not for use in leveling the tt

FYI Calling that parallel connection to the battery terminals a "solar ready connection" is a blatant lie. These Lanterns are not Solar Ready by any means.

That’s a 5000BTU not a 13,500.

Can't believe there's no furnace - disappointing

No spare tire,no front stabilizers, small widows,unprotected subfloor, and the build quality is very poor.Coleman should stick too lanterns and stoves.

No Spare? No thanks.how Cheeeeeeep Colemen!!

I like the mileage I get towing it.
