2020 Dutchmen Travel Trailer reviews

Hello. The review above had us worried about the unit. I wrote down the reported complaints item by item and looked for them in the 2020 unit we found at Camping World. This unit showed none of the reported problems - drawers at the door were properly mounted and worked smoothly, holes in baffles under sink were cleanly cut, cables were cleanly bundled, all the brake cables were attached and working, and so on. My conclusions are these (1) there are QC problems at the Dutchman factory (2) The worst of the problems occurred during the Covid year (2020-2021), and (3) there is nothing there that a careful inspection wouldn't reveal. We found a few minor issues (peeling wallpaper, break in exterior trim) and the dealer fixed them all before we picked up the unit. I agree that this travel trailer, and all the others we have looked at that are in our price range are deliberately built a bit flimsy to keep weight and price down. That being said, if you go into the deal with your eyes open and are willing to keep track of potential problems (furniture separating from wall, doors binding, weather-stripping comming loose) you can have a most rewarding experience. If you need a better build unit, or are not at least a bit handy, be prepared to pay twice as much. There is nothing wrong with the design of this unit - just be careful to do your own QC and keep track of problems before they creep up on you. (oh yes - the reviewer complained about inconsistencies in the specifications - it appears that the spec sheet he was looking at was prepared by an RV web site, not issued by the manufacturer, and was indeed inconsistent. Don't trust anything that doesn't come directly from the manufacturer. They are quite happy to answer questions) Show less

We bought this RV in 2020 used. The RV dealership first let us know after we were almost through with the paperwork that it was not under warranty, even though we were told it was. (It was only a few months old). So we made a deal over electronic parts, if one was to fail. We sold our house and moved into our camper in a large shop we built. Almost immediately, we found a water leak in the bathroom under the sink that was coming from under the kitchen closet. I had to fix that. Then I found another leak that was coming from the back of the shower. I ended up having to cut a small hole in my bedroom wall to have to replaced the plumbing fittings that were not properly installed. I then had a leak coming from the kitchen sink. Hot and cold we’re not tight. Now I have a large leak that is behind the shower in my bedroom causing my floor to continue to stay wet. I ended up having to take part of the wall off, then it broke, so I cut ANOTHER hole at the bottom of the wall. If you buy this camper I would go through every single water line that you can reach and make sure they are good. Best thing would be to see if the dealership allows you to stay in the camper, there on site, to test all of this stuff out. Or get one hell of a warranty on water leaks! We then found another leak that was coming from the kitchen faucets. Show less

This trailer has many cons and very few pros… refrigerator never quiet worked, doesn’t work at all now… leaks after first few days of hook ups, poor construction, crooked pieces and finishings, now now A\C after 1.75 years! Electrical issue, converter issues… and the basic construction work looks to be of the skill level of a 12 year old… or a crack or meth addict! Sorry but this thing has been a money pit! Don’t buy one if you like things done correctly… and avoid the dealer Florida outdoors too! They sold it without testing it fully clearly! Since the fridge never worked! The pros, you can sleep in it warm and wet and without full functions, but it’s a roof over our heads when we need it. Show less

Hi my husband and I purchased a new trailer July 30 2019. Two years to the date we purchased the trailer the power awning needs to be completely replaced motors the arm the roller and the awning self. It is completely unexceptable that we should have to pay for this no product should fail after 2 years and it was no fault of ours at all. We are very disappointed with the product and the company Show less

My camper is a 2021 Dutchman Coleman Rubicon 1628BH. Too many problems to list. I have never purchased anything in my life that is such poor quality. There is no pride in the manufacturing at whatever location this RV was built. If I could get all my money back that I've spent on this turd, I would still be at a loss for all the time and irritation I've spent trying to "make the best of it". I have so much regret. Don't be like me. Spend you hard earned money on something that is worth it. Don't buy a Coleman/Dutchman RV, ever. Show less

It looked nicer than others that were on the dealer lot. It certainly wasn’t cheap. But the problems we have had over the past 6 months ( the first 6 months of ownership) have made us hate this company. The shower pan drain was installed off center causing a major leak into the underbelly and the inside walls of the bathroom. The oven was forced into place by the assembly team and the vents were crushed causing the over to catch fire and burn the countertops. The bathroom sink plumbing was glued together and tied in straight so a major leak occurred and the entire pipe system had to be reworked and replaced. The trim on the ceiling was not stapled/nailed correctly and popped off repeatedly. The outside fiberglass finish cracked and discolored after the first week. The company would not stand behind any of their warranties. I have spoken with other Astoria owners and apparently this brand has deteriorated so severely after Covid, that it’s not worth it to buy them. This model is a piece of trash. I am dreading what is coming since it’s only 6 months old and has had these horrific problems. Show less

I was not happy with our experience using RV Trader only because of the fact that we paid to advertise and didn’t get any inquiries. The travel trail is a 2020 and is not overpriced. I expected a lot more people viewing these ads. Show less

Has a lot of space, which was our main focus in looking for a travel trailer. Other than that, all it does is fall apart. In 6 <2 hr trips: Tire wont hold pressure Trim falling off AC barely works Door latch fell apart Kitchen leaks Slide out is out of alignment Slide out outer seals are shot Drawers wont stay shut After the first contact, our dealer became useless. Called Dutchmen/Keystone and they wont do anything but help schedule an appointment at the same dealer... $30,000 mistake Show less

Looks nice from the outside, bot...Dutchmen/keystone is the lowest of the low. The overall build quality is extremely poor. Attention to detail is non existent. Customer service from both the manufacturer and the dealer in Boise is terrible. For a 2020 camper, I'm embarrassed to say that I've spent thousands of dollars to fix manufacturing defects and to make the camper reliable and usable. Most of the appliances and components are the cheapest on the market. Tank level sensors didn't work, black water tank flush valve was installed backwards. Fit and finish of interior is terrible. Don't dare measure anything with a tape measure, it will drive you crazy how off everything is. All the mattresses are paper thin and useless. Dinette cushion foam is useless. Anything factory attached to the walls pulls out after a few uses. Major water leak from around a/c unit due to all hardware being loose. Sealer on roof was cracked within one season. Vinyl flooring is barely attached to the subflooring and lifts up if you use a vacuum on it. Loose and leaking plumbing under both sinks. Drawers are falling apart. Water tanks were advertised as being insulated, they're not. Outside kitchen is useless, mini fridge runs on 115v only, sink doesn't have a drain of any kind. Overall very disappointing for what the sticker price is. Show less
