RV Problems: Repeat Issues With Our Coleman 17B Travel Trailer!

[@johns6431]

I just purchased a 2025 17b and I have a tankless water heater

[@Thecampingloop]

Nice! 👍

[@smokie5126]

We got the 24 17b but with propane and the fireplace...but they did the lippert upgraded for main camper door

[@BFHuntress]

Don’t use glue on the shelf, use expoxy. I just bought a 2025 17r. I’ll hopefully have few problems with it… Thanks for the info, it is vital to the rest of us!

[@Thecampingloop]

Thanks for the tip, we'll keep that in mind!

New to camping here, so very glad I found your channel. We bought our 2024 Coleman 17b 3 weeks ago and took our first trip last weekend. Same exact color as yours! I have no idea how to see if our water heater can be electric, need to look/read! Also our door holder was put in the completely wrong place and my husband had to move the bracket on the trailer about an inch. Now I am just reading and watching everything! My biggest worry is sludge in our black tank, and SO many recommendations my head is spinning! We have no oven, but I'd like to be able to find a cover for our stove, so that's my next search. I can't wait to dig in to all your videos, THANK YOU. Happy travels! 😊

[@Thecampingloop]

Welcome to the Coleman world and the channel! I’m sure many great memories will be created

[@TroyGWarner]

We have a 2023 17R. Our water heater is both gas and electric. Although we’ve used it twice in the year we’ve had it.

[@Thecampingloop]

That would be great to have the option. Thanks for the info👍

[@jogratziano3837]

Thanks. Good video. Helpful. Appreciate it.

[@Thecampingloop]

Thanks for watching!

[@geocs5895]

I did the 2 screws under the shelf on each side, it looks a little crappy but it's holding well.

[@Thecampingloop]

Good to hear. Thanks for watching

[@LisaSwann-lw4rq]

People really seem to have a bad experience with camping world. We didn’t but after reading some of their reviews it looks like they have some shady stuff going on. Good video!

[@Thecampingloop]

Thanks for watching! Agree

[@DanielJohnson-ec8rk]

I had a problem with united rv parts. We argued back and forth for a week but they finally made things right. Maybe this is actually a decent dealer

[@JustinGlossPraiseGod1997]

You should make a video of putting a electric hot water heater on it. I have the same camper and it’s propane sadly, been thinking on installing the electric option as well.

[@Thecampingloop]

We love an electric option as well! Thanks for watching

[@darthslackus499]

Got a 2024 17R, there was no option. Only electric water heater. That, I'm glad for.

[@Thecampingloop]

Wish we had the opt. Thanks for watching

[@paulschimel3572]

I have a 24’ built October 23’ it only has gas with automatic electric ignition. I don’t think it has that knob.

[@a5seat]

Our 2024 17b is just propane for the water heater. Our biggest complaint is the front door has to be friggin slammed to latch closed.

[@Thecampingloop]

I’ve heard of a lot of people with that door issue. Ours is not like that. Thanks for the info👍

[@chadperry5985]

Great videos I’m really thinking about getting one of these not sure were your from but if you winterize this camper I’d love to see a tutorial on it

[@Thecampingloop]

These are great campers. We’re in the Finger Lakes area and have to winterize every year. Thanks for watching!

[@tomtom-k6s]

We have a 2023 17 r the water heater is propane with electronic ignition. Still can't use it because of carbon monoxide coming into the camper. Dealt with camping world about that. Safe travels

[@Thecampingloop]

Hopefully you got results. Thanks for watching!

[@davidproctor922]

I like your video it help Me lot with my 17 b

[@Thecampingloop]

Glad it helped!

[@Thecampingloop]

Good to hear!

[@jasonjarman3630]

Our water heater is propane but we don’t have any buttons on ours like yours! We have a 2023 17B.

[@Thecampingloop]

Interesting. Seems as tho they are all different. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jasonjarman3630]

Enjoying your videos!!! We are from NC!

[@Thecampingloop]

Wow awesome to hear. I’m sure the weather is much better for camping there. Thanks for the support, we really appreciate it!

[@mikegsvlogs2084]

my sister just got a 17R small but a good trailer for two people

[@Thecampingloop]

Good for her. She’s gonna love it! Thanks for commenting!

[@kevinmarch4259]

My 2024 is straight electric for the hot water rank

[@Thecampingloop]

Thanks for the info

[@RonWilson-ec3pu]

The epoxy may hold. We have the same problem on ours. Hopefully it helps!

[@Thecampingloop]

We hope so. Seems to be more solid

[@jojot6227]

You may want to try the friction hinges , looks like they are easy to install

[@dougsanders5979]

Campco makes a hybrid hot water kit you can run on gas or 110

[@Thecampingloop]

That sounds like something I’m gonna look into. Thanks for watching!

[@nchurc4324]

My 2024 17r has electric start propane

[@Thecampingloop]

Thanks for the info!

[@kevinmarch4259]

I just purchased my 17 B Coleman lantern from Camping world in April. Hooked my camper up to electric two days before my camping trip only to find out the refrigerator didn’t work at all. Took it back to Camping world, they tested the electric, and said the refrigerator was bad. I looked on KZbin and they told me to unplug the unit and plug it back in to the receptacle to reset it. However, it was directly wired, hardwired. The user book I got with the refrigerator, said it should never be hardwired. This pisses me off a little bit.

[@Thecampingloop]

It would me too. Unfortunately this probably happens a lot

[@Timw927]

Well, NEVER buy from Camping world, but you have... so if its hardwired can you turn a breaker off in your panel to reset it? I'd demand it be replaced and wired to manufactures specs.

[@Thecampingloop]

Don’t blame you for being frustrated. Did you get this resolved?

[@Thecampingloop]

@Timw927 completely agree!

[@kevinmarch4259]

I have to wait for my warranty to approve it. Been two days. Still waiting. As long as I get it back before the Fourth of July, I’ll be happy

[@robertmarshall3104]

my 2024 17b has an electric

[@Thecampingloop]

Thanks for clarifying. Thanks for watching!

[@sueleeg3215]

Well seems like all your fixes worked.

[@Thecampingloop]

I hope so!

[@monk1776]

Cant expect to much its a Coleman camper.

[@Thecampingloop]

Good point!
