01 What makes it unique
The Coleman 13B is the smallest trailer in the line and one of the most towable conventional trailers on the market — under 16 feet long, 2,526 pounds dry, and 352 pounds on the hitch, which puts it within reach of many mid-size SUVs and crossovers. It was added to the lineup to do something most ultra-compact trailers can't: sleep a family. Despite the tiny footprint, the 13B keeps a set of bunks alongside the convertible front dinette, so it sleeps four where most trailers this size sleep two.
It's a Keystone-built value trailer, which means a conventional stick-built body on an I-beam steel frame with stamped-steel cross-members and outriggers, a walkable roof, and a one-piece heated and enclosed underbelly — the construction features Keystone leads with. Inside the 78-inch-tall cabin are blackout night shades, an electric fireplace on select builds, a stainless sink, and a wet-weather-friendly flush floor. A power awning and quick-drop stabilizer jacks make setup fast, and a Furrion backup-camera prep helps with parking.
The trade for the small size and low price is capacity: a 28-gallon fresh tank and a single axle are appropriate to the footprint, and there are no off-grid systems — this is a shore-power value trailer, not a boondocker. But for first-time buyers, grandparents hauling grandkids, or anyone with a modest tow vehicle who still needs four berths, the 13B is among the most affordable and practical ways onto the road.

03 Coleman floorplan family
The base Coleman line — Keystone's compact, value-priced travel trailers. The 13B on this page is highlighted; each other plan links to its own profile. The full line runs from a 13-foot couples' plan up through 27-foot family layouts.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13B | 16 ft | 4 | Ultra-compact; bunks; lightest |
| 17B | 20 ft | 5 | Bunks; family value; sleeps 5 |
| 17R | 21 ft | 3 | Couples; turned queen; full-width bath |
Coleman is sold in four series: the base Coleman line shown here, plus the larger Coleman Lantern, the laminate Coleman Light, and the mid-range laminate Coleman Legacy. Additional base-line floorplans (13R, 19B, 19R, 23B, 25B, 27B) are documented on the line hub.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Sleeps four at 16 feet
The 13B keeps bunks despite its ultra-compact size — the main reason families with small tow vehicles choose it over a two-berth trailer of the same length.
Very towable
At 2,526 lb dry with a 352 lb tongue, it's within range of many mid-size SUVs and crossovers — a genuine entry point to RV ownership.
Small tanks, no off-grid
A 28-gallon fresh tank, a single axle, and no standard solar suit short hookup-camping trips, not extended boondocking.
Price not separately published
Keystone lists the 13B's MSRP through dealers rather than a fixed figure; the value shown is approximate and should be confirmed with a dealer.
05 How it compares
Four feet longer with full pass-through storage and a roomier bunk layout that sleeps five — a modest step up in size and price.
A similar length reworked for two, with a turned queen and a full-width rear bath instead of bunks.
Lightweight trailers from Forest River and Jayco at the same size and price — compare build (Keystone's I-beam frame and walkable roof) and floorplan.
