History

Coleman camper trailers were first manufactured in 1967; by 1979, they had become the best-selling brand of camper trailer in the United States--a position still held in 2010. In 1989, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., acquired FTCA, which was still a division of Coleman, adding its camper trailer to the Fleetwood line of recreational vehicles. In 2008, FTCA incorporated, broke off from Fleetwood and restored the Coleman brand name to its camper trailers.
