COLEMAN CARAVAN TRAVEL TRAILER 2001-2004 ALL CAMPERS DEVELOPED A SPONGY FLOOR DUE TO KNOWN LEAKS AND CHEAP CONSTRUCTION FROM MANUFACTURER. WHEN CONTACTED MANUFACTURER ALL WERE TOLD IF NOT ORIGINAL OWNER YOUR OUT OF LUCK. THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY FACTOR WHEN TOWING A UNSTABLE STRUCTURE. IF YOU GOOGLE COLEMAN CARAVAN FLOORS YOU WILL SEE MANY FRUSTRATED PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP. COLEMAN KNEW VERY WELL THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FLOORS BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

THERE IS YELLOW STUFF COMING OUT IN A PANEL IN THE REAR OF THE CAMPER AND STRONG ODOR INSIDE THE CAMPER AS WELL. I FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL ON THESE YESTERDAY AND CALLED AND THE COMPANY SAID THE ONLY THING THEY WILL DO IS PAY A DEALER TO PUT A "SHIELD" OVER THE PART THAT IS CRACKED THAT THE STUFF LEAKED OUT FROM AND NOTHING MORE. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A FIRE HAZARD AND THE SHIELD WOULD CONTAIN A FIRE TO JUST THAT PART AND NOT THE REST OF THE CAMPER. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ANYTHING ELSE NOR PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS
