A few weeks back, Camping World shared a press release announcing that the Keystone Coleman line of budget-friendly travel trailers was the best-selling model of 2025 so far. That announcement may come as a surprise to some readers, who may remember previous Coleman models as lacking in features and suffering from poor build quality. But since Keystone took over the manufacturing process, that isn’t the case anymore. In fact, these towables are now a great choice for first-time buyers and families who want to go camping without breaking the bank. And as you’ll see from the video above, they’re built with quality in mind, while still maintaining an attractive price point.

The video takes us inside the Keystone Coleman manufacturing plant, giving us a tour of the facility as these RVs are being made. As you’ll see, the trailers are built to exacting standards, with care and attention going into their assembly. The focus is to make the high-quality trailer that is easy to tow and own. That includes adding some features typically not found in this market segment, like tankless water heaters, residential appliances, and more living space, while still maintaining a low cost of entry.
Keystone took over production of the Coleman brand in 2024 and revamped much of the line. The company kept the most popular floor plans—the 17B and 17R—but nearly everything else was rethought from the ground up. That included new designs, new graphics and colors, and new floor plans across the Coleman, Coleman Lantern, Coleman Legacy, and Coleman Light travel trailers. The result has been a much-needed revamp for this iconic RV brand, raising quality without dramatically impacting the price. That’s evidenced by the success that Coleman has in the early months of 2025, despite economic uncertainties across the industry.
