2014 Coachmen Travel Trailer reviews

This travel trailer has been a joy to own. It is easy to tow, gets in & out of "tight" areas (mountain switchback roads, etc.) and has performed well with the exception of the AC unit. After two domestic failures in first 3 years, we swapped over to the quieter and definitely more reliable Coleman MACH 1 AC system -- awesome! Never let us down at any time -- and has been towed up steep inclines even with our V6 2014 JEEP Grand Cherokee. Show less

I got lucky, bought a two owner TT that had been stored inside since it was purchased, and she is still stored inside. Talked to both previous owners, the first owner had a few common new RV repairs, but no major issues. Second owner, no issues. We have had minor preventative issues taken care of. No water leakes, all is original and all still very functional. Buy used, know the previous owners if possible. A good review of any coach will tell you if it was taken care of. Show less

Insurance bought me this new in 2014 for $11K to live in while my house was repaired. Local dealer AC Nelson was great with a repair (Not the campers fault) We use it 2-3X a year and I rent it out about 10X a year. Rent has way way way more than paid for it.... er what Insurance paid for it. Not the greatest finish craftsmanship, but good enough and you get what you pay for. Nothing glaring. Only ever had minor and expected issues over the years and has held up super well even as a rental though I do take very well care of my stuff. I had to reinforce the lower bunk as the supports gave and someone sunk at night..... Easy fix with plywood on both ends underneath and did no real damage. Never been happy with the fridge performance, but I prefer coolers anyway. Just sprung a leak in the fresh water tank somewhere near the top so only lose about a gallon so no big deal though I will fix in the spring. Fresh tank belly droops when full more than I like as it hands down so I will add a support bar. Though it's super lite, I wish it were tandem as I think it's a little much loaded for camper tires having had a few tire issues I think are load related. Not enough battery capacity to run the heater for more than a night or two max when it gets below 40°. Probably the ideal camper to rent out, and gets great rental reviews. The back door to bunk is super helpful for loading. Seriously, all bunk houses should have that. Great also for larger storage items. Lots of storage inside compared to other campers it's size. Super easy to tow even for smaller trucks. A couple other things I wish it had, but not really fair to give the camper hits for that, just pointing out. Like Queen bed, taller shower, better craftsmanship, space for 2 batteries. Still worth $10.1K 6yrs later according to my insurance hail claim. I found this model is in demand and hard to get, so still worth a lot. If you are keeping score. Camper was free to me, I made probably $18K renting it over the years, have been able to use a low maint. camper over the years, got $10,100 for it from insurance 6 years later for minor hail damage. (Though I bought it back so pocketed $5,800 and still has a clear title.) I plan to continue renting it to bring in more money. This camper has been a major win. Show less

You won’t find a cleaner, better maintained camper. We have enjoyed having the extra bed when needed yet it’s out of the way when not needed. The electric tongue jack and electric awning make setup a breeze. The 6 gallon hot water heater makes for a good hot shower. The LED lights under the step and along the awning eliminates the need to hang lights in order to have light. With the rounded front towing is easy. Show less

This is our 4th travel trailer and, by far, the best! (Priors were: Coleman, Jayco, Prowler, Casita.) We purchased the Apex used from owners who had cared for it well and were only "upgrading" due to a growing family. A perfect size for "livability" with strong aluminum wall/roof("walk on") framing while being small and light enough for relatively easy towing and maneuvering. It fits us (both physically and figuratively) for both primitive and full hook-up camping. Quality throughout seems very good. This is a keeper! Show less

We loved to camp with our Clipper! Especially for 2 people. Inside when needed enough room to sit. To be able to go into the bed on 2 sides is a big advantage. Easy towing, light weight.Bike rack on front. Easy parking. Show less

We really love it. We were able to travel anywhere with our 4 wheeler or Harley. We are only selling it because of health reasons. It is in great condition and hate selling it. It has an outside grill so the stove inside has never been used. Show less

This impressed me at first sight as a very good trailer. It had everything I wanted or needed in a camper. I upgraded from a pop up. I'm an amateur radio operator an will be installing radio antenna cabling. I camped the first time at a local state park to test the camper out and all went well. My second trip was about 250 miles. On this trip the toilet water valve leaked from a crack caused by water freezing and expanding in the flow valve. Overall, the toilet was the cheapest made by its' manufacturer. At the same time the kitchen sink faucet sprayed water all over. A red plastic flanged washer had split were the pipe connects to the top of its base. The dealer replaced it. The camper sat in the driveway a few months until my next trip. Preparing for the trip I hooked up electric and water. The same faucet washer split. I believe this should be made of neoprene instead of a hard plastic. These are the only problems I've had. In my opinion these problems could be resolved by the manufacturer installing higher quality fixtures I do like and am enjoying the Clipper. Show less

This has been a great RV for me. It tows and backs easily and setup is a snap. The floor plan works very well and this little trailer has more storage space than some trailers that are significantly larger. With a max weight of under 4000 lbs, this is a very versatile RV. Show less
