Coachmen Cross Trail XL reviews

When I bought this RV, in April of 2023, there was a "special" $2500 Factory Discount, due to 2022 overstock, that prevented the 2023 models from coming in, but even with that "additional" discount, the Depreciation, after just one year is both Shocking & Disappointing !!! I had it delivered 20 miles away to an RV Park & other than the large red tail light lenses dangling off their frames on strings of silicone, because they were Never screwed in, upon arrival, I have not had any other problems, which I think is due to the fact that I have never towed it Anywhere & that I have Never used the shower, sinks, stove or holding tanks, primarily because I am convinced that if I, actually, use it for how it was intended, that I will discover just how Poorly it was really built & have Many More Problems !!!

Small from the outside, spacious inside. Drives like a smooth van, not a "rig"! No slideouts=no problems! No problems with leaks, with awkward interior, or not being allowed a campsite! Coachmen communications & honoring of warranties is exceptional, but the ease & simplicity of this vehicle requires little maintenance. It has been a dream to own this motorhome, & the simplicity, ruggedness, & ease of use of it allowed us to gain the full experience of living on the road. A sad goodbye the day I can't use her anymore! Highly recommend! Show less

This is a wonderful motorhome. We have enjoyed it for traveling across the USA. We love taking our 2 granddaughters. This coach is extremely comfortable with plenty of sleeping space. The king size bed is very comfortable. The front 1/2 bath is great for guests or when traveling down the road. The drop down bunk beds can be used for storage of bulky clothing for trips in cold weather, although the large closet in the back bathroom is very large and can hold a lot of things. Loads of storage under the motorhome. Perfect for long trips or full time campers. We are selling due to retired and downsizing. Never been smoked in, very clean, stored in a covered shed with tire covers. Show less

We looked at ALOT of toyhaulers so many I had to take pictures to keep them all straight. We fell in love with this one. It does make a difference where you buy. We had a small issue with hot water which was operator error. I called our salesperson on a Saturday a service tech called us right away. We purchased from Pleasureland RV in Ramsey from Jesse. Excellent service love the rv it is very comfortable for the two of us. Show less

Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) full-timed and part-timed in this RV for 7 years, starting when the eldest was ~5 and youngest was ~2, up to when they were 13 and 10. We did all 49 continental states as well as much of Canada. It was a wonderful RV for what we needed. We'd previously had a small old Class C, and I've had trailers, so we've had a bit of experience with RVs. First, the good: It drives like a dream. Plenty of power, easy to pull a toad, great visibility, nice brakes and suspension. We had literally no issues with the Freightliner chassis or Cummins engine. The engine brake works well. Mechanically it was great. The house portion was also mostly great. It's obviously not a Prevost, but for what it is, it's nice once the kinks were worked out. The floorplan, in particular, was great. The bunks worked well, and it's easy to modify the bottom bunk to fit another mattress underneath to slide out like a trundle bed. The kitchen worked well. LOTS of interior storage, and lots of basement storage as well. The shower's a good size, and the tankless heater is the best thing ever. Now, the not-good: Mostly little things that we had to remedy ourselves. The tankless heater needs enough flow to not cycle on and off, but the factory showerhead made that literally impossible. We purchased it new but the pipe going to black tank was broken, and Coachmen's warranty service was frustrating to deal with, to put it mildly. It has 5 built-in TVs but the factory wiring job was pretty frustratingly limited (RCA, not HDMI, to connect them; no extra outlets where you'd want to plug a DVD player in; etc.). For full-timing across the country with a growing family, though, we had remarkably few issues with it. Served us super well. Show less

My 4 auto Jack’s won’t release!!! After a week of relaxation time at Bethpage Camp/Resort in Virginia, come checkout time I can’t move without them up. Any suggestions? I definitely checked with roadside assistance and hopefully they can remedy this situation…rain rain go away come again another day (raining big time today)😳 Show less

Had the local dealer bring in from a dealer in another state. We wanted it for a trip 4 days from when they transferred it. We thought it was exactly what we were looking for. The dealer had it there on Monday and we had an appt to test drive it at 3 on Tuesday. On the test drive the entry door rattled at 35 miles an hour with little to no wind. After stopping we checked the door and noticed it was not rigid enough to withstand the vibrations and would be a constant problem. Noticed several defects that the dealer completely missed in their review. They had removed an access panel above the propane tank to find a leveling defect and didn’t replace it. When I saw what was behind it my heart sank. The compartment had trash left over from manufacturing and all of the expanding foam that was surrounding the lines to keep moisture out had already broken from thermal expansion and vibration. Poor design on that area. I Had read a review before going there that said the fuel hose from inlet to tank can get kinked in manufacturing so I looked at that. Sure enough there was a kink in the fuel hose. Don’t know if it was big enough to create flow problems. I was done at that point. Looked at Renegade unit on same platform and the entry door is much stiffer and construction seems to be more solid. Very disappointed in both the dealer and Jayco. Show less

2021 coachmen catalina trail blazer 29ths. Biggest POS ever. First month 2/4 stabilty jacks bent. We had 2 flats same day only to find out at tire shop they were already patched so they couldn't patch them due to laws. Contacted lazy days 5x and 3x emailed and no response. The worst issue is our aluminum siding is bulging out and staples are pulled out of studs. We have giant waves on our aluminum siding extending 2-3 inches out on 8 different parts of siding. Customer service won't even respond and then when we emailed coachmen they need info from dealer . we have a 1 year warranty and it's only been 4 months. Piping in bathroom leaks and our insert plug is loose for city water. Also awning motor makes a horrible sound. Water pump works but makes a good awful noise and shakes bathroom wall. Rear drivers side couch ripped out of wall after 1 sleep. AC works when it wants too. Our Awning is off kilter. No air in bedroom (very very little at least) . cabinets have loose screws and debris in them from construction. Tv antenna is loose after one 200 mile drive. Slide out is uneven. Door won't close even when perfectly level. Started getting weird in summer. Show less

We were looking to downsize from a slide out travel trailer with bunks to something smaller and lighter. This trailer was the perfect floor plan for us. We purchased it a few months ago and we have taken out three times. We love the couch and table in the back with the 180 degree view through the windows. So far the appliances all work along with the hot water heater, furnace and gauges. We really like the power awning and the farm style sink. The bed is comfortable but we did add a sliding curtain in front of the bed for privacy and to help block the light. We were disappointed in the size of the bathroom. The radio is cheap and the trailer did not come with a roof antenna so we could not pick up any stations away from town. The sliding windows do not slide very well and are hard to open. We were surprised to see that there are no drawers anywhere but the overall storage is good. There is only one roof vent and that is in the bathroom. The first time we used the furnace it set off the fire alarm. We think it was burning off saw dust but now it works fine. Show less
