1805 RB

[grudosky@flash.net]

We have a 2022 Coleman 1805 RB camper. Been to several sites in Tx, far west to Williams Az, our first long trip to West Point Ny. I have noticed I can feel how rough the roads are when I am towing the trailer. This is on the Interstate highways.

That effect is typical of a heavily loaded tow vehicle. Tongue weight may be heavier than you expected.

Tell us about your set-up please?

We have a 2022 Coleman 1811RB. I pull it with a 2019 Suburban 1500 4x4. It pulls with no problems and we’ve been on trips from north PA to the FL keys. I’m very careful not to overload and constantly monitor the tire pressures. So I have not experienced feeling the road textures as you say.

I did have to get a new spare tire after noticing many cracks and a manufactured date much older than those tires on the axel. I had it changed and balanced at no cost to me as Dutchmen’s tire supplier sent the new tire and covered the bill for the service.

Best wishes on your journeys!

Interesting that Dutchmen would replace it without an argument!

Happy trails!

Dutchmen has a DIY policy where they send you the parts free to fix things yourself. I got a new dump valve assembly from them rather than dealing with CW’s service dept. BS.

It has to be the road. I'll have road sections that are smooth, had no bouncing.

I had to replace the roof and awning it got damaged by a tree limb.

I've added a shelf to the bath cabinet for more storage space. Only had it a week on a shake down trip. had to replace the toilet. it sprayed water out to the shower stall instead of flushing the toilet. Fought with Camper World to replace it. Also, the propane tanks wouldn't work correctly. One the valve would not open and the other quit after it was partially used. Got two new ones with gas. Took it to a different Camper World the Maintenace person found other things that needed to be fixed. had to replace the wheel bearings, the races were worn. little grease in them. They had less than 3000 miles on them. There were other things that I fixed.
hopefully won't have any problems this year.

Oh my! You really had some issues with that new trailer. It’s hard to believe that the bearings on a new trailer would be dry. That’s made by Liebert. I bought a replacement set from them to keep with me jyst in case of an emergency. But now I will pull the wheels and check them before my next trip!
