yes but the latch holds the door half way open but not wide open.

Glad to hear you had a great trip, and all your mods worked out.
Did the flip foot live up to you expectations?

The Flip foot worked real good, didn't have to use any wood blocks...Medicine cabinet stayed on the wall...LOL and I really liked the Power cable inside the door, and being able to store my other electrical stuff in the same place...

Thanks Steve
I am not sure if want to put any extra holes on the out side yet

.
But it would come in handy, and I may do it at some point.
Going to try a new (to us) park this week end. I will try to get some pictures between the rain and storms.....

Please post any issues you have with the Coleman. I am looking at them as an option. I will have to look at the door stop and see what's on the TT, the Hideout TT had a door stop that limited the door to strait out for full open. Didn't like that and like you wouldn't want to take it home and drill holes in it. Would have to atleast ding a tree or something before I started modifying.

Good luck on your search. I have not had any issues so far but have only had it a little over a month and on 4 weekend trips.
The floor plan is what sold us on ours. The storage is not the best but with a little help from all these folks on here its getting there.

Have a good trip and wishing good weather for you......Holes are OK when they are for a good purpose and you seal them good, After the first one it gets easy..LOL

Coneyguy · 05-02-2013, 12:53 PM

These were taken at Home and at Salt Springs Federal Park in Ocala National forest, FL...I really have to much time on my hands...LOL I am going to add a couple more Rear Tail & Brake lights, I like to be visable.....

Going on our first 5 nighter this week for the holiday.
Looking forward to it except for all the storms rumbling through today and tonight.
I will try to get some pictures of the camp and swimming hole it is a beautiful place.

Coneyguy · 05-22-2013, 09:49 AM

I am a new Coleman Owner too. Just picked up a CTC297RE travel trailer. This is our 2nd camper, the 1st being a Salem, made by Forest River.
The quality is way more than the Salem!
This unit is a brand new floor plan, so says Camping World. Had all the Tec's and Salesmen checking it out.

Coneyguy · 05-23-2013, 11:23 PM

Good Luck...I am totally Happy with mine..I wish you all good things..

Medic · 05-25-2013, 02:39 AM

Thanks Coneyguy.

I will be taking it out in early June for a 3 day shake down cruse. I trust there will be few or no problems. I'll let you all know how it goes, and if I can figure out how to upload pictures, i'll post some.

Doc
