Coachmen Freedom Express Liberty Edition reviews

Why are all my windows leaking and causing mold and I cannot get anyone at the Forest River Corporate office to call me back? I'm temporarily living in my RV and have a cat and 2 dogs. I cannot take my trailer to the dealership so I called the main office to get a off site tech to come look at the trailer. I'm not getting any help or anyone calling me back! FRUSTRATED> Show less

This was our first RV purchase and we have had it now for 3 years. We have been on about 12 trips with it - the longest being 12 hours to Arkansas. It fits our family of five perfectly, with room to add 3 more friends or family members. The separate bunk room for the kids is perfect, and my 5'9" daughter sleeps comfortably in there. It is great that they have their own space, and we have ours in the master bedroom. We have run the heater and the a/c for days straight and it has worked perfectly, we were very comfortable. I love the rainy days when we stay inside and watch movies too. The outdoor space is great - the outdoor kitchen is perfect for our coffee maker, kids sodas and snacks, and extra utensils, we used it quite a bit. There is even an outdoor shower if needed - we only needed it once at the lake. The storage is perfect too - we fit SO much into all the cabinets inside, as well as outside. We had enough towels, games, cleaning supplies, dishes, you name it - to make this basically a second home. Towing the camper was very easy, my husband's F150 had no problems at all. I can't say enough good things about this camper, we have had a wonderful experience with it all the way around. Show less

A modern, clean design with comfort in mind that fits up to 9 people. The rear room contains 3 single bunks with shelving and a closet. The master bedroom shares a rotating TV with the living room and lots of storage space around and under the queen bed. The main area boasts a dinette and a jack-knife sofa which both convert into full-size beds. In the same room is a kitchen with clean appliances and huge countertops. The outdoor kitchen offers a sink with running water, a propane stove, some storage, and a mini fridge waiting to be filled with your tasty beverages! Show less

Spacious Sleeping: This RV is a lifesaver for big families. The bunks in the back comfortably slept the kids, and the master bedroom with a queen bed offered plenty of space for us. Plus, the convertible dinette could sleep another person if needed. Storage Savvy: We were impressed with the amount of storage this RV has. From the overhead cabinets to the under-bed compartments, we never felt cramped for space to stash our camping gear and clothes. Towability: The Freedom Express 292BHDS towed surprisingly well behind our F-150. It felt stable on the road, and we didn't experience any major towing challenges. Usable Kitchen: The kitchen had everything we needed to whip up meals for the family. We especially liked the good counter space and outside kitchen. Overall Recommendation: Overall, we really enjoyed our camping trip with the Freedom Express 292BHDS. It's a great option for families who need a lot of sleeping space and appreciate good storage solutions. With a little planning for the smaller bathroom and cooler mornings, I would definitely recommend this RV to other families. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being extremely likely, I'd say we're a solid 10 on recommending this RV. Show less

We bought our 2019 Coachmen Catalina 243 RBS new. I have to tell you, it's been nothing but problems. First the air conditioner on the roof wasn't tightened down and when it rained, we had to put a bucket under it. The repair shop said they could almost turn it sideways, that's how loose it was. Second issue was rain dripping on us while we were sleeping. The seal in the front where the roof meets the metal needed to be caulked all over. I did that myself. This happened twice. Third, the switch on the power jack went out and I had to replace that. Fourth, the factory didn't caulk one side of the travel trailer. The dealership noticed that when we brought it in to have the air-conditioner tightened. Fifth, one day we noticed they didn't even bother to put trim where the floor and wall meet. They did it in some areas and not others. I would have to say that I am disappointed in the workmanship of this travel trailer. I would tell anyone that is considering buying any travel trailer or RV, to buy one that is a couple of years old. Otherwise it'll sit in the shop half the time getting repairs done. Show less

Small but can fit in a regular parking space if you can back up to open area. Planning on redoing interior to brighten it up and convert the over cab bed to storage. Small but functional shower. Could use more counter space for cooking prep, but if you like to cook outdoors that’s fine. Large storage “garage”. Works well for 2 people or less. Show less

Great trailer! We love it! It's plenty big for our family, and it has great features! We love that it has the actual bedroom up front, along with an outside door! The bunks are nice for the kids, and it's extra handy to be able to flip up the bottom bunk and have the extra storage/hang up space. One of the unique features of this camper is the walk-in pantry.

I have owned many rv’s and purchased the Coachmen 204 rd ultra lite 2022. I have over 25 trips all over the west fly fishing. This is an awesome trailer. However all new RVs are not the quality I would like to see. I have a 6 volt system, inverter 3000w and solar fold out 200amp panels. Other than small issues I will keep this trailer, for many more years! Show less

We have had our trailer since new and love it It tows great behind our 1500 dodge Ram It’s roomy inside And we find it perfect for two seniors Love the shower and the fireplace and the bedroom Easy to clean easy to park Love it Right size right price Show less

Overall it is comfortable. Plenty of room to move around. Has one of the largest bedrooms in trailers. Easy to tow with our Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7L motor. There are three slide outs in this model. We have had leaks in all slides. This has caused the flooring at the interior corners of the coach to deteriorate and cause spongy floors. The slides have been the main issue with this coach. Forest River cannot seem to manufacture a decent seal for the slides. Shame on them. Another issue was the refrigerator. It is an all electric Everchill brand. It does not require propane to operate. This brand does not seem to be reliable. After the refrigerator was replaced for the third time, we finally got a refrigerator that works. The slide motors needed to be replaced. The hitch jack needed to be replaced, the electrical panel needed to be replaced. Awning vinyl is poor quality. Too much junk is used to manufacture these RVs. The parts are not reliable and the manufacture is charging too much for what you are buying. And value for the money? It stinks. Some of the defects were repaired under the warranty period. But the leaky slides and spongy floors were not because they appeared some time after the warranty period expired causing us to pay $$$$$. Show less
