Tongue weight, loaded~985 lb (13%)

Coleman (Keystone) (Caution tier): Camping World's volume house brand - aluminum-framed but built to a price, with frequent fit-and-finish and warranty complaints. Built by Dutchmen through MY2024, after which Coleman production moved to Keystone and the Lantern codes were retired.

FINDING ONE

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Coleman (Keystone) is a volume manufacturer; 8-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

The longest-running Lantern bunkhouse - eight model years, so used examples are everywhere. GVWR is derived as dry (6,090) plus cargo (1,432) and reads oddly low; the axle rating is probably higher.
