I Have a 2004 26 ft dutchman lite. There was a dent in the roof when i bought it i did not know about. it leaked and a year and a half later the front step fell off with me on it. I have had 2 tires blow out on interstates with damage to the wheel well. the slide has never worked right since day one and the dealer says that is normal. now the slide supports have rotted from water damage. i opened a cabinet and the door fell off. In short i am very unhappy. there are simple ways to fix some of these problems such as using treated lumber in stress areas like the steps and slide. by the way my friend bought a similar trailer the same year and had the same problems.

We purchased a 2007 Dutchmen Colorado 29BH last year. Nothing but trouble. From February last year till now(with 5 months the camper being winterized) we have had the camper back four times for repairs, all 22 of them. Three times for repairs to the drawers in the bunkhouse land kitchen. Now I'll be taking it back the fifth time for a leaking roof which will be the third time for that. The dealer has gotten more use out of this camper than we have. I don't recommend a Colorado, or Dutchmen product.

We have a 2002 Dutchmen Lite 25QB we bought it in 03 as a close out. We have enjoyed it until a few days ago. When we went to pull it and the front left corner started to open up and found it was a full of water damage we just had it serviced and the dealer fixed a leak on the rear window we had no ideal it was leaking up front. The dealer said they have problems with the water standing in the channel trim and sepping up. Not very happy with are trailer at this time. It is only half paid for and it will need serious work. Our old trailer was a 78 and in better shape then this one at the time.

My husband and I have a 1996 36FBS Classic and have never had a minute's trouble with it. It still looks new inside and out. Super good construction and over the years, they style is still quite in date. We did research several campers and makes prior to this purchase and we are still (after 12 years) delighted with it and the way it has held up, even with 12 years of four grandchildren. Still a pleasure, Dutchman, still the best!

I have a 2007 dutchmen Colorado 2f this trailer is not cheap , only have had it for 9 months and had the floor and wheel well flares split open this winter .I live Canada and Dutchmen will not cover because they say are winter are to cold .I think they should have a look at the material product they put in and how they put it in .There is lot of trailer floors that spilt and Dutchmen and the dealers selling are not covering off.So much for buying a trailer with that is back by them.

I own a 1998 30ft Dutchman that we just love. We have had it going on two years now and have not had any problems. We use it almost every weekend out on our lake property. I would recommend a Dutchman to anyone who is seriously looking for a good quality travel trailer.

We just purchased a 2008 Dutchmen Adirondack 31BHDSL. We have used it three times in the two months that we have had it, already the DVD player doesn't work, the pilot lights on the stove do not work, three 110 volt outlets do not work, there is a leak in one of the windows seal that lets rain in, the kitchen table does not even come close to fitting for making the table into a bed. On a cold morning the heater comes on every 8 minutes because it is so poorly insulated.

My 2003 Dutchmen Lite 26QB-SSL had factory slide seals improperly installed that allowed water to deteroriate slide wall and floor over time. The slide began to sway in and out while towing. Even though factory warranty had expired, I felt they should reimburse me. They would not talk to me or the repair shop. I wrote Wade Thompson, president of Thor Industries. He didn't even respond. Be sure to inspect for water damage in hidden places before your factory warranty is out. No more Thor products for me.

Spend your thousands of dollars on a leaky tarp! You will at least be able to dispose of it. My 1996 26.5 RL fell apart after a couple years. Sorry construction and workmanship

i seem to get different answers when calling dutchmen. Thanks, Tony

We have had our 2004 27BS model Dutchmen for 2 seasons and we love it. The storage was the selling point for us. Now we have just traded up to new 30SDL and hope to enjoy it as much as we do the 04.

We have owned 3 different Dutchmen trailers in the past ten years. We have loved all of them and never had a problem with any them. When it's time to trade again I am sure we will pick another Dutchmen!

I have a 1998 Dutchman, I think it is great and lived in it as a camp host.
Had a roof leak a couple years ago but was able to repair. Never found the actual cause? As we are two large people a slide is a must for our next one. That 30L DSL looks good!

I've read bad reviews of Dutchmen travel trailers but I just want to say I have a 2006 Dutchmen 26FB DSL and it's given us nothing but pleasure. I think they're great value and we've had very few problems.
