I'm on my second Clipper, my first one was a 16B and the bunk bed was just too small for me, loved it other than that. Sold it and picked up a 17RD and am very happy. They are great little trailers for what they are, entry level and light weight. What drew me to Clipper was the larger that most fresh water tank and holding tanks and the 13,500 BTU roof air. I upgraded the 13" tires to 15" just to have a little cushion on the load rating.
I would buy another Coachmen without giving it a second thought.
How did you upgrade the tires to 15 inch without hitting the wheel well. What size tires ??
I was inspired by a gentleman on a different forum that had a 17FQ and upgraded to 15" with no clearance problems so I bit the bullet and did the same. I put 205-75/15 Goodyear Endurance tires on and have been nothing but pleased. The load rating is 2040 lbs which is a nice upgrade from the 13" ones that came on my camper. Clearance hasn't been an issue and I've been down some pretty rough roads.
curious what that tire/wheel upgrade cost? i just bought new tires for my Clipper 17BH, and just went with the same size as stock. kind of wish i upgraded to a higher load rating, wish I had seen this a week ago!
