2016 Dutchmen reviews

I cannot stand companies that don't build quality when you're talking about a six figure purchase. Wife and I graduated from a WELL WEATHERED 90s rv to this toyhauler 5th wheel. The engineering IMMEDIATELY stood out as nowhere near the quality of our 90s unit. Within months air vents disintegrated, no help. The entire Dometic thermostat system is so effing TERRIBLY designed, you have to be a rocket scientist to learn it. pluss, the on board generator won't even run all 3 ac units, or even heat the entire trailer. THE low quality and idiot engineering limits to 1 cabin ....what idiots do this? Do they not understand the WHOLE trailer is used, ALL the time and people dry camp ALL THE TIME, and a generator should heat or cool the ENTIRE TRAILER, ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME?!?!. My wife and I miss our simpler, more efficient unit and were so hoodwinked by the dealers....we won't make the same mistake again. We are going to sell our unit and go simpler. I forgot to mention that after the 1st week, one slide mechanism went out and still isn't working properly after repair. Just a garbage unit for the money...save yourselves the trouble. Don't buy one of these. Please Show less

The overall quality on the exterior is great,generator works well and used more then we expected. Interior layout works well with our needs. The most disappointing item is the material used on the sofa and seats in the garage area, salesmen kept calling it leather which is actually plastic coated fabric that has been peeling of worst then a bad day at the beach, people often ask to come see inside our rig but after seeing our sofa change their minds, we use to show off the heated recliner with the message mode and everyone loved it, now we vacuum everyone off when they get up.we have called Dutchman for help with this problem and was told they could sell us another sofa at a reduced price $2500.00 plus shipping of course, after spending 82,000 for the Unit I would hope it to outlast the payment period. The voltage is our fifth fifth wheel and has been a good unit we wash and wax it a few times a year and is garage kept when not in use. Show less

The Kodiak 240BHSL is a wonderful RV for a couple, or a family. It has a nice spacious floorplan with a U shaped dinette and double bunk beds if needed. The kitchen and bathroom are very functionable. Overall this RV has a great floorplan, is easy to tow, and will fit into most campsites which is a great plus. Aluminum frame, fiberglass siding, and a fiberglass cap make this RV stand out in both value and presence. Show less

Love the layout, color scheme is beautiful, was exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, the overall quality leaves a lot to be desired. Purchased new and have had nothing but expensive repairs since. Antenna fell apart after first use, shower taps leaked, base leaks from sides and underneath shower floor. Black water holding tank has never emptied without snaking, the gauge always shows ‘full’ even when empty. Gorgeous to look at, unfortunately it is very poorly made. Overall, we are sadly disappointed, should not have to sink such great expense into a new trailer. Show less

Biggest pile of junk on the planet . Factory recall non stop. Warranty was poor . Refrigerator, ac furniture all broken in 6 months . More time in shop then use. All three ac unit roof fans broke on second trip. I let them take it back .. Show less

This is a sweet RV for 2 travelers. Easy to manage and light to tow. We camped across the USA with many a wonderful evening by the campfire and many a wonderous day in the National Parks of the USA. Show less

- Duck Killer, Request information on your "added garage storage". My buddy has a 3200 Epic with the DoveTail UnderCarriage Storage. My 3005 does not. I reached out to the Manufacturer twice with no satisfaction. Definitely need to add storage for tie-downs, lubes, etc.. Thanks! Show less

We purchased new in 2016 , since then we have had issues with the kitchen slide binding on one side or the other (5 different times ) the dealer , each time says its out of sync and needs reset . I just dont understand why it keeps doing it . Show less

I have owned this Kodiak 201QB for about a year. It has a lot of features, not found on all of the others. The undercarriage is enclosed to keep out critters, electric awning, holding tank flush, LED lights under awning, for hookups, and throughout. Has a weight distribution hitch with sway bars for smooth handling. Has a bumper mounted hitch for bike rack, or rack. It has a handle and screen protector on screen door. and covers over the roof vents, so they can be open in the rain. Has brakes and custom wheels, and ducted air-conditioning. Also has all of the usual features found on this size Travel Trailer. Show less
