| Happy Campers | We have a 2008 26S and it is the Best Camper we've had. We also have two small children so it has worked great for us. Plenty of room and easy for us to pull. Hate the day we have to size up, but it will be a Dutchman! Next one will be a 5th wheel. |
| Dave | Update on our 18B, I had an alignment done and switched to Goodyear Marathon tires, appears to have resolved the problem of tire feathering, Aligment out right from the factory.No response from Dutchmen on any Warranty concerns |
| goek | I've had 2 dutchmen trailers and both of them were great. I have a heartland now which is good but I think bang for the buck you can't beat dutchmen. |
| Rick | We bought our 2009 ECO new this spring and put 6,500 miles traveling from NY to Yellowstone, Grand Canyon etc.. Love the trailer but agree tires wore uneven even with the trailer 300lbs under max. air at 48-50psi.
Dealer fixed outside stove air vent flap and roof vent crank. We had them install a roof vent cover to prevent future damage. |
| James | I haven't had any problems with my tires and they are 7 years old. Too make the tires last longer and have fewer problems you need to keep the air at maximum as specified on the side of the tire. Check when cold. |
| Doug Bartlett | 2007 dutchman 38' all is well but the sliding glass door leaks when it rains. |
| Dave | We have a 2007 18b dutchmen with very few problems except fot small stuff breaking, Latches, hinges, the tires shure dont last long, they wear feathered. |
| Sam | Rubber Roof tip on Dutchmen....every few months you need to get on the roof and inspect the caulk around pipes and joints...the caulk cracks and will leak....get a tube of caulk and clean crack and touch up to seal off. |
| mike | I have a 2007 dutchmen 25f and love it. No problems at all. This is my 4th trailer and by far the best. Dutchmen make good trailers. |
| Will | I have a 2007 Denali and could not be happier, converter went out, but that is not the manufactures fault, neither are the leaks some people have. Read your owners manual, it says right in there to check for leaks every 90 days. Trailers being pulled down these rough roads are bound to have problems. Appliances and tires are not the fault of Dutchmen. I have been camping for 35 years and have had several campers and Thor products are one of the best. If you have a Colorado or a Denali or any other name other than Dutchmen, its not a Dutchmen. They are just owned by the same company that owns Dutchmen. Please don’t bash Dutchmen if you do not own one. |
| KR | Denny, trade it already. From reading your posts all over the net you give the impression you will never be happy. |
| May Cooper | We love this camper, but have had some electrical problems. Getting good service is a problem. Dutchmen were good during the warranty period. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 4/5. |
| Terry and Gordie | We have a 2004 T@B and love the design of it! It is a downsize from our airtsteam 35ft. motorhome and we have never missed the motorhome a minute. We had ceiling bumps from delamination problems and they took it back to the factory and fixed it and they did a wonderful job!It has towed behind us for thousands of miles and never given us any trouble. The interior is spacious and we took the table out and put in boards for making the bed. Never miss our table. George Sutton was our dealer in Eugene,Ore. and he has always done us well. We had the ceiling bumps and our converter went out and Dutchmen replaced it. Great service always from both. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5. |
| Gary B | I have a 2007 Dutchmen 25F lite and have no complaints....I haven't had one problem...I changed out the mattress with a Queen. |
| Diane P | 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! |
| Russ P | 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. |
| John Barr | We just bought our T@B August 2007. Big change from our motorhome, we love it. It's made camping uncomplicated. Only downside is that after we purchased a white one with red trim to match the H3 we find out the very nifty screenroom only comes in yellow. Thor/Dutchman,,,what are you thinking? You market this wonderful product in custon colors and don't have a matching screenroom. Howabout a neutral one? We love our rig and the awning is working out well, just wish we had a screen room. If anyone out there has a solution for an aftermarket product, let me know. JohnPaulBarr@aol.com |
| Robert W | 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. |
| Brian Z. | We have a 2007 Dutchmen 37 sdsl with 3 pullouts and 1 1/2 baths . We love it the layout is second to none |
| quality | request reviews on 1991 Dutchman 5th wheels |
| Pio DiMaggio | I am the owner of a 2006 T@B 16Q _ Three window, Queen bed, towed by my much beloved 1990 VW Window Van. And, I am wheelchair-bound. The VW has a wheelchair lift installed. Even with somewhat reduced mobilityu the T@B is still a good buy, and $30K plus less than the Bambi. The showers matter, unless you are in a truckstop, BUT you can have your own shower and stall by purchasing a $250 Cdn Dollar item by Coleman, called "Hot Water on Demand". You can then have a shower whenever and wherever you want.
To the T@B naysayer Christine, I say, look at the T@B again. See how wellbuilt it is, how well it tows, |
| Ron W | 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 a 30SDL and hope to enjoy it as much as we do the 04. |
| Holly P | 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! |
| Ron Morris | The T@B name is said to be short for "Taking America Back" and is a reference to exploring America as in the old less complicated days. But, and sorry to be a spoil sport, in Europe it was designed and manufactured by a company called Tabbert - and they thought up the name. We've had ours for 6 weeks now and really love it. We didn't want to tow some huge thing and the T@B really meets our needs. |
| Arol G | 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! |
| Pete N | I had the 2002 Dutchmen Classic fifth wheel and had some problems. I had the axles replaced and a sidewall leak fixed. This was done under warranty and I owned it for another two mainly trouble free years. I got a good deal when I bought it and the dealer was good during the warranty. I think the dealer is a really important part of buying an RV. We liked the layout and the quality was really good for the price. I would recommend dutchmen if you buy from a really reputable dealer. |
| Kerry J | 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. |
