Coleman offers some of the most affordable and lightweight travel trailers on the market. Two of their newest trailers, the Lantern LT 17B and 17R are perfect for families and couples looking for a comfortable and easy-towing RV. 

We asked Coleman owners what they loved about their RVs, and they had a lot to say. Find out more below about some of Coleman’s newest models and what actual Coleman owners think about their camping experience.

Here’s a little more info on these Coleman travel trailers

Coleman Lantern LT 17B Overview

Camper Specs

  • Length: 21’5”
  • Dry Weight: 2,985 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 392 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 5

Coleman’s Lantern LT 17B has been trending recently as one of the most popular and affordable family travel trailers. The rear bunks are excellent for the kids but can also be used for storage space if you need a couple’s RV. 

The queen bed and convertible dinette round out the sleeping areas in this towable camper. You’ll also love the ease of towing this lightweight trailer if you have a smaller truck or even some SUVs.

Coleman Lantern LT 17R Overview

Camper Specs

  • Length: 21’5”
  • Dry Weight: 2,970 pounds
  • Hitch Weight: 380 pounds
  • Sleeping Capacity: Up to 3

In response to customers’ positive feedback on the 17B, they developed a similar floorplan for couples. The Lantern LT 17R replaces the rear bunks with a spacious dry bathroom and wardrobe closet. 

The 17R features more interior floor space and 2-3 times more storage than the 17B. It’s also lighter and easily towable with smaller trucks and even some SUVs while boasting a convertible dinette when you need sleeping space for kids or guests.
