Vehicle description
I purchased a 1989 Coleman Colorado back in June 2017. It has a double-bed slide-out, and a bench sofa/table. The pictures of the trailer as I purchased it, are those with the grey canvas. I think I paid $350.00 cash for it. Today, it"s disassembled. You are buying the disassembled version, it"s basically your "Project" to put back together. Included are multiple part replacements/improvements, as described below.
The trailer is 10’ 5 1/2” x 6’3” (closed) and 14"8" x 6"3" (open). The original specs say it weighs 1,600#. So smaller cars should be able to tow this. I towed it originally with my 2015 6 cyl Jeep Wrangler, when I bought it.
I do have all the original poles and mattresses and other furnishings from the inside, which are included with this "Project".
The wood floor was press-board and was rotten. The canvas was also shot. I have thrown out the original canvas.
I had intentions of restoring the trailer, and replacing the wood, canvas, and bench/table (makes into a bed) with a jackknife sofa.
I didn"t get very far.
Here"s the shape it"s in today. .
I took apart all the walls and floors. I had the intention of replacing the floors and bottom of slide, with marine grade plywood (as recommended online) and putting an epoxy protectant on it. I never got the plywood but I have the original (and now wet) pressboard for you to use as a template as part of this "Project".
I did get the trailer"s frame reinforced by Kurts Trailer in Englishtown NJ. They also replaced the axle and springs with a new 3500# and rims/tires. See the invoice with my exclusions hand-written. The trailer with improvements is included in this "Project".
There is already some rust beginning on the frame, but not too much. It should be painted with black rustoleum. I paid about $1,000 for the improvements.
I also purchased a complete canvas replacement, including the travel cover, from www.CanvasReplacements.com for $1,333.00. It"s still in the box and is included with this "Project" purchase.
1 x Complete Canvas (TT-SWSH4743-59091) = $1,025.00 1 x Coleman Colorado Cover (TT-SWSHCOLE-RC) = $308.00
See the colors of the canvas that I picked, attached. For the top, I went with Choice #1.
I had the intention of replacing the bench/sofa/table with a jackknife sofabed, which I purchased off a truck for about $350. It"s similar to: https:/ www.etrailer.com/RV-Furniture/Thomas-Payne/195-000009-017.html. It"s included as part of this "Project". It will fit on the side of the trailer where the bench/table originally was, with room to spare for a small custom end-table, and is much more practical than the bench/table.
I ended up buying a 2006 LivinLite QuickSilver pop-up, so I lost my interest in completing this project. And I"ve since decided to buy my Uncle"s big motorhome, so I have no interest in pop-ups at this time.
I have registered the trailer in New Jersey, and NJ isn"t supposed to title these light trailers, but someone at the DMV made a mistake and gave me a title, so I do have the clear title that I can transfer to you.
There is a lot of potential here, if you are handy, and good at rebuilding things. There"s tons of info online from others who have rebuilt these neat little trailers.
