Hi all-looking to buy our first travel unit-looking at 3 units, & would like to know if there's a source for ratings. We're looking at a Coleman Lantern 202, a Keystone Bullet, & a Bullet Premier. I know you can find evidence of pink fairy dinosaurs on the internet if you look hard enough, so I'd rather ask a community of people who actually have experience-I'd love to hear opinions, & where you got the info before buying your unit. I appreciate any info you all have!! Thank you!

One of the best I've found is perusing the forums of the owners and the owners section here (if applicable) for the manufacturers you're interested in

Hi. I found you-tube videos very informative. There probably are some for each of the units you are researching. Double check the specs and options included. When we were looking, we went to rv shows, narrowed down our wants and though we are limited to size by our driveway, we found one we are very happy with. We did like the bullet premier, but it was a shade too long. The colemans felt cheap inside. We wanted enclosed underbelly, shower that was useable and ducted air conditioning. The trailer we had before had the dometic non.ducted that is very common. You had to sleep with ear.plugs. Our new trailer, wow, you can even talk to each other when the air is on, what a difference. Also, check how many and how large the propane tanks are. To save weight, the new model of our old trailer has only one 20lb tank and the frame is not as thick. Our new Rockwood 2109s has 2 30lb tanks. Handy if you're boondocking or camping in colder weather. Good luck and enjoy the process. Take your time though, and do the research. The good and the bad is important to know. Some trailers do have less bad, but yes, there will always be pink fairy dinosaurs.

Here's what we bought, best money we ever spent, around $70 or so! Get the newest version!

I'm not a big Keystone fan, so my vote goes to the Coleman. My parents have one of the Lantern models, but I can't remember which right now. The worst part about those is that I think you HAVE to get it from Camping World, and I don't have a very high opinion of them either, and that goes for sales and service. But if you're looking at that model, then I assume all 3 are from Camping World.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the input-did tons of research, & we're going with an Imagine 2150RB. I'm sure as a newbie to the RV world, I'll be posting more questions in the future, but again-thank you!!
