Coachmen Leprechaun reviews

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

Great floor plan -very roomy. The best features are the walk-in closet and residential refrigerator. Lots of storage space. Very comfortable to drive. The AC unit keeps the inside very comfortable even in the hotter weather. The Beds are very comfortable. The driveer and passenger seat swivel around so you can have a nice entertaining space. including the roomy U-shaped dinette. Show less

I purchased this motorhome two years ago 11 Nov 2021 Due to weather, illness, infirmity, we have never spent night in thing. We were seeking reliability review as we wish to travel during intense heat from Texas to New Mexico or Colorado/Wyoming 4 August 2023. With 28K miles We not ever having gone more than 25 from home in it, are doubting durability of motorhome. We are elderly couple 82-72 respectively. Are we over cautious to fear a long hot trip in 100+F heat? We fear breaking down between Wichita Falls and Ruidosa, NM This may be a ridiculous review. Show less

The Coachmen Leprechaun 27QB (Class C) is the ideal RV for multiple purposes. It is perfect for chilling out with a nice sofa plus the table with facing seats that turn into a bed and in the back a QUEEN size mattress with charging portals next to the top, under storage bit enough for raincoats and boots. I recently met a woman at an RV park on the Gulf of Mexico who works remotely for a job in New Hampshire! Yet she was on a Texas beach with her 30-foot RV and car towed behind, doing her day job -- then walking the nice warm beach not 100 feet away. Perfect for couples even with children. I used it for my solo hotel and restaurant during covid, towing my jeep behind. I added a TV in the bedroom and had RV dealer add a satellite connection. It has a connection to flush the black tank instead of just relying on the gray water. It's a Ford V10 engine that my mechanic had no trouble changing the oil or checking the engine. The 27QB Coachmen is 30 feet bumper to bumper. In my several years of experience that is the "Goldilocks" size for almost anyone wanting to go RVing, whether it's working remotely or camping with the family. Not too big, not too small. Biggest mistake for first-time RV buyers (like I was)--Don't go to small on your first purchase! The 30 foot length is easy to maneuver. The Leprechaun has upgrades not found in lower models like the Freelander. I bought solar panels for it to charge batteries in event of a power failure after a hurricane. The unit has a heat/cool thermostat like you have in your house, not a knob to twist as my smaller Freelander had. The storage in the back of this unit is HUGE! Show less

The Coachmen Leprechaun 27QB (Class C) is the ideal RV for multiple purposes. My first RV was a smaller 24-foot Motorhome (based on Transit chassis) . Even with just two of us, it was not comfortable when you want to be on the road. There wasn't any way to stretch out unless it was on the bed awkwardly positioned so you would have to somehow change sheets while on the bed. Awards for anyone who can do that! lol. However, like goldilocks, I didn't want anything too big either. I ended up in the middle. I went with the "just right" size 27QB Coachmen Leprechaun which was perfect for chilling out with a nice sofa plus the table with facing seats and in the back a QUEEN size mattress that you can circle when entering, exiting or changing sheets, with charging portals next to the top, under storage bit enough for raincoats and boots. But its very easy to drive - 30-feet bumper to bumper, so not too big to get into grocery stores. It has a back up camera to see what's behind you --you can even turn it on while driving to see who is coming up behind the vehicle. I recently met a woman at an RV park on the Gulf of Mexico who works remotely for a job in New Hampshire! Yet she was on a Texas beach with her (too little) RV and car towed behind, doing her day job -- then walking the nice warm beach not 100 feet away. while folks in NH are freezing in snow. The 27 QB would be perfect for her or a family (it sleeps 8 who like each other with an overhead bunk, and the sofa. The table goes down to create another sleeping area. I used it for my solo hotel and restaurant during covid, towing my jeep behind for commuting to the job site my crew were working on. It also fit the needs of my girlfriend, me and two funny dogs well. We took kids with us and it worked great. I added a TV in the bedroom for another option for relaxing. I bought a Dish receiver and had RV dealer add a satellite connection. It has a connection that lets you flush the black tank instead of just relying on the gray water (we all know how bad a sewer hose can smell if not cleaned well, right? lol). It's a Ford V10 engine that my normal mechanic had no trouble changing the oil or checking the engine. No fancy Mercedes parts or prices required. As I said, the 27QB Coachmen is 30 feet bumper to bumper. In my several years of experience that is the "Goldilocks" size for almost anyone wanting to go RVing, whether it's working remotely or camping with the family. Not too big, not too small. Biggest mistake for first time RV buyers (like I was)--Don't go to small on your first purchase! What looked "big" at first became too small very quickly. Normally you will take a 30% or more hit if you find out you bought something too small and want to trade it back for a bigger one. That's what the dealer told me when I asked about flipping the RV I had just bought 3 months earlier. (I found a better deal elsewhere). The 30 foot length is easy to maneuver. The Coachmen Leprechaun 27QB is a 5 star. The Leprechaun has upgrades not found in lower models like the Freelander. It's much like a pickup camper but bigger and with plumbing and A/C! Come check out my sweetheart. Show less

Initially, I loved everything about the RV. Then things went sideways. I damaged the awning and it too a few months to get a replacement ordered. Then the front slide failed, which denied me access to the stove and convection oven. While waiting for the parts to come in on the Awning and Slide, the power systems started going wonky; the under-step battery would not hold a charge which caused the refrigerator to fail and I lost most contents. Then the auto leveling alarm started to sound when the truck was started, although the level supports were fully retracted. Then, when I got a tire flat alarm indicator for the right rear interior tire, I discovered that the interior and exterior tires were not aligned, so I did not have access to the tire valves. Emergency roadside assistance fixed the tire and the alignment. Needless to say, untill these repairs are completed, I cannot use the RV as a Mobile Home, which is why I bought it. Show less

This is the perfect Class C if you are looking for quality and versatility. We have traveled as a complete family of 6 all around the USA. The small driving footprint (27.5) allows you to go virtually anywhere. The new Ford V-8 Godzilla engine has great power to travel the mountains, plains and all in between. The floorplan is great. Kids and guests in the front and a separate master bed in the back with the bathroom. Makes functioning together a breeze for privacy when needed. If you are in the market, take a look at the 260DS.

The ride is smooth and balanced. You never feel top heavy. The Titon 350 Ford V8 has no problems going up and down roads. Roomy, with a "step away kitchen " so the person using the kitchen never has to step aside. We LOVE the big SEPARATE shower with a powder room ALL TO ITSELF. The refrigerator is the perfect size. The sleeping area ( for two) is awesome! The see-through storage is so convenient. You'll love sitting under your beautiful led awning cooking on your outside grill connector & TV hook up! Tow away with a strong 5,000lb towing capacity! Happy Camping! Show less

Really thought I caught a deal with this RV. Everything you try to fix just for preventative maintenance is such a headache. They make everything really hard to find. Even the resources to look things up are hard to find. Shower is way too small unless you're very petite. And it feels like I am chasing leaks in this RV even with all the preventative sealant in had a professional put on. Wouldn't recommend it for a 1st RV Show less

I've owned my 311FS for a few years and can say that it is absolutely the perfect motorhome for those that don't like to compromise while traveling. The washer/dryer combo and residential fridge make it feel like you never left home. It tows my jeep well and feels good on the road. The triton v10 is reliable and powerful for a gasser. Show less
