This is our first ever camper experience. We bought this 2022 Coachmen Legacy 283 in May 2023 brand new from A & L RV Sales in Richmond VA. We were tickled pink with it.
We've never taken the thing out of the yard. Then May 2024 we lost our ac in the house. As of today, June 23rd 2024 we're living in the camper in our backyard.
This is a nice sized camper to spend a weekend or maybe a week in. Sleeping in it daily and living in it daily it's not so great. Keeping up with the black tank level and the grey tank level is a chore. And holy moly it gets H O T . The AC runs constantly. Sure, we're parked where we have shade for a few hours in the morning, but between noon and dark, it's just about unlivable. We have nothing to compare to, so I don't know if other campers are more insulated or even insulated at all. But we manage.
The kitchen is nice. Again, not really enough storage space for long term living, but then again, it makes you realize what's important and what's not. I'm fairly tall and it's all I can do to reach the back of the pantry. It's really deep so find you a step stool. Then find a place to store it. The kitchen table and bench seats are perfect for my skinny husband. He slides in and out just fine. My wide hips do better in the recliner. Which is very comfortable, as is the sleeper couch. That's comfy too, the couch made in a bed.
Speaking of beds. We have a king size mattress in a queen sized room. My husband has a bad back and watching him crawl into bed is hard. It's worse getting up in the middle of the night to pee.
** I think the worst thing about this camper is how the bed is made. The mattress is on a piece of plywood and the plywood has UNFINISHED edges all around it. Sure, we could sand them down and round them off, but why should the customer have to do something like that ?! It looks like that was overlooked during assembly. **
The bathroom is nice. Haven't used the shower yet (we go in the house for that. Hot as hell, but better than using up all our water in the camper ).
My husband says pulling the camper with our 2002 Ford F350 Super Duty is a breeze. Hooking up to the truck is easy.
Overall, again having nothing to compare to, I'd say this is an okay camper. It's not perfect, but I'm sure there is not a perfect camper.
I'll give this one about a B+.
Happy camping everyone !! Be safe.
