2016 Coachmen Class A - Diesel reviews

Love my RV!!! Have gone across the country and back 3 times with son, wife, and dogs. It’s great! We can city camp (park anywhere and it’s okay) and camp in big national parks. It’s easy to dive without being too big. This is my favorite camper I’ve ever owned. Used to have the big 40’ class As but hated having to tow which made us 60’ long. Being only 25’ total without the need to tow is awesome! Show less

We absolutely love our Coachmen Prism 22LE! It’s the perfect RV for traveling, offering both comfort and convenience. We took it on an amazing 18-day trip from California to Canada, and it made the journey effortless and enjoyable. One of the biggest advantages of this RV is how easy it is to park—whether in RV spaces, grocery store parking lots, or even national parks, we never struggled to find a spot. Despite its compact size, it feels spacious and comfortable inside. The reclining sofa is a great touch, and the swivel front chairs allowed us to create a cozy space for entertaining friends. We also took it to Vail, Colorado, and it handled the mountain roads beautifully. The diesel engine performed flawlessly, powering through inclines and descents without any issues. Overall, the Prism 2250LE is a small but mighty RV—perfect for both long adventures and quick getaways. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and easy-to-drive motorhome! Show less

Four features set this RV over the top: 1) The open floor plan - upon entering the RV, you step into the kitchen/dinette area. It's then 3 steps or so to the primary bed and bathroom. The driver and passenger seat swivel around and with the slide open, you have ample seating for a larger group. 2) Storage galore internally and externally - the two in the rear are open and connected to each other. The large tubs can hold ice (there's a drain hole) or gear. You can store a lot back there. Internally, there's a 3/4 length closet and so many drawers and cabinets. It's fairly easy to keep the space organized. 3) Freezer - it has a separate and relatively spacious freezer. 4) Indoor and outdoor showers - hose off before you go inside or take a shower inside the warmth of your RV. Heated water available for both. The rest of the RV is wonderful. The interior has shown only small signs of wear. The drawers and cabinets stopped shutting on their own, but we installed some hooks which has solved the issue. The furnace and AC work fantastic and use less propane than expected. We have parked this RV on all kinds of terrain from paved driveways to rock pads to the middle of a field. This RV is very easy to maneuver and has great power. We have a medium-sized dog, and she does very well in the RV both riding in it and camping. We set up her bed near the dinette and still have plenty of room to get around her. Show less

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

Love this Coach! Our model is a 2016 35LS and it is very spacious and user friendly. The sofa area is spacious and looks directly at the large tv and fireplace (hard to find in any coach). It has incredible storage spaces both inside and underneath. Factory AC's (2) keep this RV cold even during Florida summer heat. 1-1/2 baths is great and the rear master bath/shower is huge. We haven't had any issues with fit & trim, in or out and the only repair made to date has been to replace the automatic entry stair motor. I was surprised how well it drives even without any upgrades or changes to steering, sway bars etc. I can drive it easily on the highway and it doesn't wear you out. Very seldom does a passing truck move it, she just puts her head down and we cruise. Highly recommend this coach. Show less

Where do I start..... My family and i upgraded to this model from a travel trailer. We wanted easier setup and the ability to have the entire family together as we traveled. This coach was essentially new (prior owner did 3k miles and turned it in) and came with the factory warranty. We are in year 5 now and i have replaced the following due to failure: 3 AC's Refrigerator Water Heater Water pump Bunk motors P-trap in the shower Shower mixer Bathroom fan All batteries three times All of the "Leather" seat coverings I also replaced the radio head unit and the speakers because they were of such poor quality. In addition to things just breaking, the coach is riddled with things that have to be tweaked in order to get them to work. The bunk slide down has to be reprogrammed every time you use it. The dealer replaced the motors and the computer twice and it still doesn't work correctly so I gave up. The bedroom slide has to go out half way, then back in, and then back out in order to get it where it needs to be. The surface of the seats literally disintegrated within two years. Coachman said they were defective and their solution was to sell us the new fabric at cost since we were out of warranty. The heater is completely pointless as it blows 95% of the hot air out of the one vent in the bedroom. It becomes an oven in 5 minutes and the rest of the coach is freezing. The Gelcoat on both sides completely oxidized after just three years. Yes it was parked outside in the sun but it should last longer than that. There are other nuances but you get the idea. The biggest issue i have is the drive-ability. I get i'm driving a box truck with a house on top down the highway, but this is bad. It shakes, rattles, vibrates, and get pushed all over the place by any vehicle bigger than a truck. Its incredibly loud due to the engine so having normal conversation isn't pleasant. I added Sumo Shocks, new tires, stabilizer bar, trac bar, and sound deadening mats all of which helped but nothing eliminated the excessive shaking at highway speeds. If i put a cup in the cupholder it would bounce every ounce of liquid out and then throw the cup at you. It's that bad. With all that said, i'm a contractor and a very mechanical person so i am able to do most upgrades and repairs myself so the financial hit hasn't been as bad. The floorplan is really good for my family and now that everything has been upgraded or replaced, once its parked it does a decent job. We are currently looking to upgrade to a diesel pusher and i wont even consider a Coachman product or any made by their family of brands. Maybe i got a lemon or maybe they are all that way. Buy at your own risk. 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

Step inside this Prism 2150 LE class C diesel coach by Coachmen RV and see how convenient camping can be with your family. This unit features a single slide out for added interior space. Enter behind the passenger seat up front and find a wide open interior with the u-shaped dinette slide fully extended. There is plenty of seating for everyone at mealtime, overhead cabinets, and a pantry plus wardrobe are also included in the slide. On the opposite side you will find everything you need to cook light meals and snacks on the move. There is a refrigerator, a three burner range with overhead microwave oven, and round sink just inside the entry door to your left. You will also find a handy counter-top extension for added prep space, plus overhead cabinets for storage. This Prism also features a 48" x 91" bunk above the cab area for additional sleeping space, or you can choose the entertainment center instead with storage cabinets also. The rear of the unit provides sleeping for two with a 54" x 80" double bed including overhead cabinets along two sides. The opposite corner features a shower, toilet, and separate sink just outside the bathroom door. There is also a medicine cabinet above the sink. With plenty of overhead storage cabinets you can easily bring along all that you need while away from home, and more! Bunk Over Cab Rear Bath U Shaped Dinette Show less

I bought the Coachman Freelander BH, class C, brand new in 2016. The first camping trip was great, after that all downhill. To say the people on the Coachman/Forrest River assembly lines gave zero sh*ts about their basic workmanship would be an understatement. My first hint is when I looked under the sink where the hot water heater was. There was wire insulation and shavings everywhere. They were too lazy to clean up after their work. This was everywhere in the RV. Since then it was discovered the shower plumbing was installed wrong at factory causing damage. We eventually had to replace the whole shower which we had to pay for. We had a massive window leak which turned out they installed incorrectly at factory. They Gerryrigged it to get it off the assembly line. It ended up giving and the massive leak happened years later in the middle of a storm. We had to pay for. Vent fan broke. Numerous window shades broke. One of two slides totally jammed up. The slide controller got wet BECAUSE ITS INSTALLED IN AN OUTSIDE STORAGE COMPARTMENT! This screw up is on the designers. Because of condensation we can’t use that compartment now. There were more issues. The Ford truck part of the RV no issues. The Frig, AC, heater, etc made by other companies no issues. All the issues started on the assembly line. Sadly it sometimes takes a few years to discover them. Coachman just doesn’t understand this is a families 2nd home. This is a massive financial investment for a middle class family. Good luck on trying to get a hold of them for anything. Very disgusted by the Coachman/Forrest River brand. 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
