Thanks Snakebitten. I sure hope so. My husband is very comfortable dealing with this Irish girl's rants on the injustices of the world. Haha
He always reminds me that we're the kind of people that take "The Scenic Route." The long and winding road. No Easy Street for us!
You bring up a great point...towing capacities. Very confusing stuff. That was the main reason we bought so small. If I remember correctly, our Toyota Tundra was around 7800 towing capacity. The dry weight of the Coleman was around 3500. So far it has been fantastic pulling. We haven't attempted mountains tho.
So confusing, but the real point is these crappy built Ultra Lite campers. I think this contributes to the boom in the RV industry where even a small SUV is supposed to be able to pull a camper. Unfortunately, the quality is not there in order to make them lighter, like staples instead of screws, cheaper materials, etc. We're stuck in the small Ultra Lite category. We just weren't prepared for what that entailed. It's definitely a buyer beware situation if purchasing an Ultra Lite.

So happy, but way too early for the happy dance.
No happy dance here. Our delam camper was never replaced. CW and Keystone used each other to play the blame game and no one took responsibility. In the end, CW is the responsible party since they sold us the camper. After 6 months of agony, and the majority of that spent w/o a camper because it was always in the service dept, we took the loss and decided to trade. No happy ending here.
