Coleman are probably the top rated manufacturer of folding campers, camper trailers and pop up campers in North America. Whatever you want to call them, they are all very similar and are often used terms that mean basically the same thing. You have a vehicle and you tow the trailer behind it, it is that simple! The sizes and the specifications differ quite a bit, but they all serve the function of housing you on your travels. Coleman are the best selling folding camper manufacturer in the US for the past 10 years, and the reason they are so popular is because their products offer quality, innovation and ease of use. The prices are not cheap, but then you do pay for the best.

There are five ranges in the Coleman line up, and all of them give different levels of comfort and have varied specifications. There is something to suit every need you may have, and the prices are pretty varied as well, which is good if you are working to a set budget.

First up is the Evolution Series which has five campers in the range. The Coleman Cobalt has two large beds at the front and rear of the cabin. There is a kitchen area which contains a stainless steel sink, a two burner stove and a cutlery tray. Next to this there is a moulded counter top for preparing meals, and a portable dining table which can be placed between two seating areas. The beds come with two upholstered mattresses and there are privacy curtains for the bedrooms, and normal curtains for the camper windows.

In the interior there are 12v lights, and a patio light for seeing outside. Also inside are 110v outlets for appliances if you need them. The standard specification is a little bare, but you can add almost any sort of extra you can think of for an extra price of course. The actual trailer has a tubular steel chassis with bumpers and leaf suspension. The cabin has breathable sunbrella material and all the windows have a fine mesh screen. The floor is made of good quality wood and the whole thing is a nice place to be. A lot of care and attention goes into the design and construction of every coleman camper.

The Evolution E1 folding camper is next in the line up and has two beds, with one large double bed and a smaller single bed arrangement. Both sleeping quarters have privacy curtains fitted as standard. There are also two mattresses and and back support legs under the beds for a more comfortable nights sleep. The kitchen is a galley set up and has a deep bowl stainless sink with additional countertop. A double burner hob is included as well as a fridge. Next to the kitchen area we have two seating areas with a removable dining table. Two large storage areas will adequately store all your things. There is a furnace and a 12v water pump, along with the mains electric outlets and the intterior and exterior lights seen on the Cobalt. In addition you will also find indoor and outdoor speakers with stereo CD and an ipod connection.

You get the same chassis as with the Cobalt but in addition there are mud flaps and shock absorbers. The roof is made from fibreglass so it is more durable and solid in high winds. An outdoor step can be found and an exterior shower to wash dirty clothing and muddy boots. All in all the Coleman Evolution E1 offers a wide range of luxury comforts at a reasonable price.

The E2 is a step up in class and the standard features include two large double bed areas with privacy curtains and also privacy changing curtains for each bedroom. Back support legs are included along with quality mattresses. What the E2 has over the E1 is a cassette toilet and shower compartment. Two seating areas and a dining table give you room to eat your meals in comfort, and the kitchen area benefits from a cooker and 2 burner stove, fridge and two countertops for preparing food. These are the main upgrades that the E2 has over the E1, and it just means there is a higher comfort level, and more essential additions.

The Coleman E3 has all the above but it has a much larger cabin interior, with an extendable seating area and three large storage spaces that will fit almost eveything with ease. One of the bedrooms has a cargo deck below as well. An outdoor cooker is also included and you also have the toilet and shower facilities to boot. A very well made and high spec coleman trailer indeed.

The final cmaper is the E4 and this is the top of the Evolution range and has two full size double beds and a front deck area. There is a casual seating area with a dining table. The kitchen has a microwave oven along with a three burner stove and the cooker. A double sink makes a useful addition and all the countertops are seamless and very well made to create a kitchen area like your home.

The bathroom is a ceramic comode and shower, with a solid wall compartment for more privacy and comfort. This is luxury camping at it’s best and is extremely well laid out and the build quality is superb. You can see the attention to detail and the clever use of space in this trailer. One of the most popular Coleman campers around today and a big seller.

Ok, there are another 4 ranges to go through, so i think i will cover these in another post, this one is quite long enough now i think!
