From the dealer

1998 Coleman Destiny Taos — Classic Pop-Up Camping in an Ultra-Lightweight Package The 1998 Coleman Destiny Taos is proof that you don't need a huge camper to start making great camping memories. This classic folding camping trailer delivers the basics: two pull-out sleeping areas, a dinette, simple galley, plenty of fresh-air ventilation, and an incredibly lightweight design , all in a compact package that's easy to tow, store, and maneuver. With a published weight of only about 995 lbs. , the Taos was one of the smallest and lightest campers in Coleman's Destiny lineup. For campers who enjoy the simplicity of tent camping but would rather sleep off the ground with a roof overhead, the Taos is a fun and affordable way to get into RV camping. Why Campers Love the Taos • Ultra-lightweight design: At approximately 995 lbs., the Taos is dramatically lighter than today's traditional travel trailers. • Compact towing size: Its small footprint makes it easy to maneuver around campgrounds and into tighter campsites. • Pull-out tent beds: Provides dedicated sleeping space while allowing the camper to fold into a compact package for travel and storage. • Open-air camping experience: Large screened tenting lets you enjoy the breeze and campground views while still having protection from the elements. • Simple floorplan: Fewer complicated systems mean straightforward camping and setup. • Classic Coleman construction: The Destiny series used Coleman's folding-trailer design with a steel frame, lift system, tenting, and expandable sleeping areas.

Specifications for a camper of this age can vary according to production configuration, options, modifications, and equipment. Always verify the individual camper's VIN/data plate and installed equipment. Camping Without All the Complications One of the biggest attractions of the Coleman Taos is simplicity. There aren't multiple slide-outs, automatic leveling systems, residential refrigerators, fireplaces, or touchscreen control panels to worry about. You tow it to the campground, level it, raise the roof, pull out the beds, set up the interior, and get busy camping. For someone who wants to spend more time around the campfire than operating the camper , that's not necessarily a drawback. It's part of the charm. A Big Step Up from Tent Camping The Taos retains much of what people love about tent camping: fresh air, screened windows, canvas surroundings, and the feeling of actually being outdoors, while also providing some very welcome upgrades. Most importantly, you're sleeping up off the ground . You also gain dedicated beds, a dining area, interior lighting, storage, and a protected place to relax when the weather doesn't cooperate. And when a Pennsylvania thunderstorm rolls through the campground at 2:00 in the morning, suddenly that roof feels pretty luxurious. Compact When It's Time to Travel A major advantage of a folding camper is how small it becomes when everything is packed away. Instead of towing a tall travel trailer down the highway, the Taos folds into a low-profile package. Its lightweight construction and compact dimensions make it less intimidating for first-time RV owners and easier to store when camping season is over. The small footprint can also open up opportunities at older state parks and wooded campgrounds where squeezing a large modern RV into the campsite isn't always easy. A Great Camper for Keeping Things Simple The 1998 Coleman Destiny Taos isn't trying to be a condominium on wheels. That's exactly the point. It's designed for campers who want a comfortable place to sleep, somewhere to sit when the weather turns, a little storage for their gear, and an affordable way to spend weekends outdoors. For someone moving up from tent camping, or someone who has owned a large RV and wants to get back to simpler adventures, an old-school Coleman pop-up can be a whole lot of fun. Who Is the Coleman Taos Perfect For? The 1998 Coleman Destiny Taos is an excellent choice for couples, small families, first-time RV buyers, weekend campers, and anyone looking for an inexpensive and extremely lightweight way to enjoy the campground. It's especially appealing for campers who prioritize easy towing, compact storage, simple systems, and an open-air camping experience over the residential amenities found in today's larger travel trailers. And at roughly 995 lbs. published weight, there's not a whole lot of camper following you down the road. As always, towing compatibility should be determined using the camper's actual loaded weight, tongue weight, cargo, and the tow vehicle manufacturer's ratings.
