coleman parts

I think I'm just lame. I've looked on their website to find spare parts or a catalog of spare parts and I can't seem to find it.  Is there such a catalog? I've been fixing little minor things and I have a plastic piece that holds a drawer support that is starting to break, I'd also like to see all the accessories (GOODIES) and things. can someone point me to the right link?

Are you looking at the Coleman site....or the Fleetwood site?? Coleman no longer lists the camper parts.  Its only Fleetwood now...http://www.foldingtrailers.com/abouttrailers.asp

You are not lame.  Such a catalog or web-site does not exist.  You have to find a Coleman dealer that would have those parts.  An RV dealer with a good parts department will have common pieces that might be inter-changeable between different campers, so you might be lucky with another dealer.

And if you SHOULD come across such a catalog, I'm sure there are others here who would LOVE to get one!

When we had our Coleman, I had contacted the factory to ask this exact question (I wanted a parts list/catalog), the reason was because the moronic plastic glides on the drawers were splitting and the back of the drawers were hanging down (they have since redesigned them and they are metal), but they said I had to go through a dealer for the parts.  Another thing I was looking for is a factory assembly manual for the trailer, and I was told that they don't have that either.  However, the factory rep was very helpful with sending me a procedure (via email) to access parts that I was trying to get at (and that was when Fleetwood was making them).

Anyhow, maybe the new partnership will result in better documentation for the trailers, as I doubt that any competitor would use any manual to steal designs.

If you are talkng about the plastic supports that slip on to the backends of the drawer slides, you can probably find them at Lowes or Home Depot... They have several different kinds.....Take an old one along to compare......

Thanks guys. yes its those stupid plastic things on the back of the drawers. when I first got the PU I needed a hinge and one of thoe nipple things and the end of the poles for the inside of the bunk ends. I went to a dealer here in orange county , but they're not that close or convenient. I will check home depot first. At $2.30/gal I hate to drive anywhere I don't have too!

One note on those plastic drawer pieces... If you replace it with another plastic piece, it will just end up breaking on you.  I took a 1x2 piece of wood, cut it to just under the inside height of the cabinet, put it along the back of the cabinet next to the drawer glides, used a couple drywall screws to hold it to the back of the cabinet and then screwed the drawer glides into the wood.  Cheap and easy fix and it worked like a charm.  Just make sure you put the guides on straight so you can still open and close the drawer!

As for the tips on the end of the pole, you are better off getting SEVERAL of those.  They are cheap and best to have around.  You are ALWAYS going to break one of them when camping, so just keep the spares in the camper and you'll be set.

I'm not real handy on making stuff so I'll just buy a few of those drawer supports.
and yes when I went to pick up the pole ends (30min drive) they were $1 each so I bought 4 or 5.

Deidre, we got our plastic drawer thingys at American Sales.  Thats the Coleman /Fleetwood dealer in Stanton.  Also, our do dad on the shephards pole broke and Randy just put a small screw on the end and it works just fine.  We have had it that way for 2 years now.  
 
We have been trying to get the little plastic peices that go on the bed slides.  The dealer doesn't have them sio they said they would order them.  It has now been a month and still no slides.  Hopefully, we can make do till they come in.

American sales is were I had gone but it takes like 30 minutes for me to get there from Yorba Linda. between the time, gas $2.30/GAL it kinda makes it not worth it and just live with it.
 
remind me at pismo I'll give you one of those pole ends I have 3 or 4 spares in the PU.

Of course, all of us living in this area probably go to the same place, but my experience with replacement "plastic thingies" has been great there.  The "plastic thingies" on the underside of my dinette seats had broken off and if the cushion slid as you sat down, you ended up in the storage under the seat.  I asked about buying some when I was there getting a part for DH, and the parts manager handed me a bunch and wouldn't let me pay for them.  It could have been due to the fact we'd been there twice with the trailer to have the propane system worked on and then just a week later DH drove away with the electrical pigtail wiring thing on top of the trailer, so I had to go back and get one.  I think he was sick of seeing me!
 
On my drawers, someone who owned it before put a screw into the side of the drawer so it couldn't be pulled out all the way.  I'd suggest hot glue and a wood block or any barrier would work just as well.
