Coachmen Class A - Gas reviews

I purchased the RV knowing it was used; it had 12,000 miles on it. Soon after my purchase all the furniture began to delaminate like nothing I had ever seen before. I called the factory, and they were aware of the problem and described poor quality coverings to the furniture. they clearly said there was a suit that they agreed to pay out, but I was too late due to the Covid outbreak. The furniture quickly became so unsightly and the mess we had no other option than to replace the captain's chairs, the dinette and both couches. Total cost was over ten thousand. The management at Riverside offered nothing to help compensate for a known issue. Show less

Four features set this RV over the top: 1) The open floor plan - upon entering the RV, you step into the kitchen/dinette area. It's then 3 steps or so to the primary bed and bathroom. The driver and passenger seat swivel around and with the slide open, you have ample seating for a larger group. 2) Storage galore internally and externally - the two in the rear are open and connected to each other. The large tubs can hold ice (there's a drain hole) or gear. You can store a lot back there. Internally, there's a 3/4 length closet and so many drawers and cabinets. It's fairly easy to keep the space organized. 3) Freezer - it has a separate and relatively spacious freezer. 4) Indoor and outdoor showers - hose off before you go inside or take a shower inside the warmth of your RV. Heated water available for both. The rest of the RV is wonderful. The interior has shown only small signs of wear. The drawers and cabinets stopped shutting on their own, but we installed some hooks which has solved the issue. The furnace and AC work fantastic and use less propane than expected. We have parked this RV on all kinds of terrain from paved driveways to rock pads to the middle of a field. This RV is very easy to maneuver and has great power. We have a medium-sized dog, and she does very well in the RV both riding in it and camping. We set up her bed near the dinette and still have plenty of room to get around her. Show less

I've had my Entourage for less than 6 months and the amount of issue's I've had after driving off the lot have been a real pain. Luckily the dealer has taken really good care of us. But with my latest issue, the cab has completely separated from the bunk section. Waiting on Coachmen to issue a recall on it. I had a 15 item "fix it" list after my trip from Seattle to Kansas City. The quality control from the factory is extremely lacking on this rig. It looks nice but this thing had to have been assembled on a Friday! Show less

Finished 3 years with our Coachment, Freelander 29KB. Year 1: spent almost 8 months in dealer’s shop (Broadmoor Rv, Pasco, WA because of slider failure and parts availability issues. Support from dealer was marginal; didn’t do much if anything until you bugged them. Ultimately kitchen slider was fixed, good repair job by dealer that included damage to flooring. Year 2: slider issues and failure of bedroom unit. Contact with dealer was a waste of time, no help from Broadmoor Rv whatsoever. Went to independent rv repair shop in Pendleton, Oregon: awesome service and fixed writhing 3 weeks. Year 3: just finished 4,000 trip, no issues, great handling, everything worked. Show less

We liked the look and style of this RV and watching how they are built on their website seemed like we were buying a quality product. We used is for 6 nights and two camping trips before the slide broke and would not go out all the way out. It jammed and dug into the floor and we spent two nights like that until we just decided to go home. There were several other problems we had with this motor home and it was nearly impossible to get in touch with someone at coachmen in customer service. I left emails and several messages and didn’t get a reply until I called every day for a few days. Among the other issues we had was the coach door was vey difficult to open, the dvd player ($30 on Amazon) didn’t work the first time we tried, ac unit was vibrating because the bolts to the roof were not tight, rubber on the roof was pealing up, sealer gaps on the roof, right window not installed correctly in its track (binding), inside trim on slide looks like it was installed with a shotgun. We took it in for service and was told they denied repairing some of the items(trim, dvd player). When we brought it in for service the vehicle had less then 3000 miles on it and was less then a year old (5 months was covered in storage and 2 at the dealership). Most of the trim and components are very cheap quality like plastic shelf paper covering fake wood trim. Low quality TV,s and audio equipment. We knew we had a Covid lemon and we tried to trade it in only to find out it’s worth $50000 less then we paid for it and neither the dealer nor manufacturer had any interest in helping us out. I would recommend avoiding this company and it’s parent company forest river. Show less

We purchased new and have had many enjoyable trips around America. It has been trouble free, store in side when not traveling. Tires are 2 years old. New battery. I used synthetic oil changed every 10,000 miles. This unit has an abundance of storage which made camping with enjoyable because we had room for many items. Show less

We've been living full-time in this RV or nearly 5 years drive abilities great it's an air ride Diesel Pusher lifetime engine is what they call this because it's a Cummins and it is a 5.9 turbo Diesel it has a Allison transmission 7,000 watt Onan generator provides everything we need we just have to find the place to put it the tires for this are are very good that truck tires and very inexpensive about $200 each livability it's terrific put a lot of money into it but we have now decided to give up the lifestyle but I would caution people when buying RVs .. if you find a 25-year-old RV I would seriously look at it if this has low mileage I would seriously not consider it consider 25-year-old class a RV with a diesel engine so if it only has say 20,000 or $30,000 miles then it's been sitting idle the worst thing that can happen to a diesel engine or back than any other engine is it for to sit idle so be very careful when you're looking for this we have a 20 1997 it has 100,000 miles that's barely breaking for this engine and the things you don't like well of course the unexpected breakdowns and that's going to happen with any RV no matter what what you do is you sit there and you can usually get it fixed the next day Show less

The Freelander 22XG has a great floorplan layout. With just my wife and I, this 24 ft RV seems very very roomy. We use the over cab bunk for our suite cases and everything else that might clutter up the area. The dinette is comfortable for eating, playing games and watching TV at night. The 10 cu ft 12v refrigerator is bigger than many common place 8 cu ft units and especially the 6 cu ft units in the Class B+ units. The queen size murphy bed is almost like being at home, being the same size. During the day we keep the murphy bed up against the wall with the sheets still on the bed. It wakes the RV seem much bigger. When we drive, I keep the bed down to the non driver can rest if needed before taking their turn driving. It drives just like a pickup or full size van. At about the size of a U-Haul truck, it drives and handles much better. We have only had ours about year but are still pleased. We have even found winterizing it much easlier that expected.
