2017 Coachmen Freelander reviews

This has been a great little motor home. We had a few factory issues at first, but the dealer fixed them quickly. I see in the small print that I can't mention the dealer, but they were in Troy, Ohio. This RV is the sports truck of RVs. It handles nice and has plenty of power for getting on the highway. When fully loaded, it does have a problem getting up long steep grades. I have a tendency to keep my foot in it, so my mileage has never made it above about 13 miles per gallon, and is usually in the 8-10 range (at 65-70 mph) My biggest issue with this unit is the 25 gallon gas tank. It can only go about 300 miles before you need to refill. This is fine until you get out west where the gas stations can be few and far between. The layout is very handy and works well for our style of traveling. We camp to travel, not travel to camp. We usually drive from spot to spot, site seeing along the way, and do very little long term camping. I was going to get the optional solar panel, but so far the batteries get charged up enough when driving. I have yet to see this model with the "optional swivel passenger seat". That would be a great addition and should be standard. I can't get the RV dealer or Ford to install an after market seat because of "liability issues". It was also about half the price of most other RVs that were similar in style and size. A deciding factor for us poor folks! Show less

I love my RV. Army Veteran retired CW3 and a Seargant First Class, Gold Star Wife and Family! I loved it... cooking while camping with the luxury of home! I have wonderful memories. Actually made me miss the field and the soldiers ! Show less

Absolutely love the floor plan. We have 4 kids and over the last 4 years have taken many enjoyable trips to mountains, beaches, and forests. We travel frequently, but the memories made in this RV have been absolutely unforgettable. We've enjoyed stunning, magical white Christmases in the Rockies, with our stockings and colored lights hung across the RV under the light of the moon and a thousand bright stars, surrounded by towering snow-covered pines. To date, of all the vacations we've taken, the relaxing ones have been at the beach in the RV. Pleasant sea breezes, minimal clothes, minimal preparation, minimal stress, but full of fun and naps. Each kid has their own space to retreat in the RV when they need personal time, and the grownups have privacy in the master bedroom because of the large, solid sliding door. We've always had plenty of storage inside and under for beach gear, ski gear, Christmas presents, and more, and the V10 is a monster that pulls our truck Toad like a champ. Anytime we tell the kids we're going to take the RV somewhere they fall all over themselves with excitement. So glad we purchased this thing, and hope that these memories we've made last a lifetime.

It has been such a great experience traveling with our family of five. This RV has everything we need to travel comfortably and spend time together as a family. I recommend the Coachmen Freelander based on its floor layout and comfort. I think your family will also enjoy it! Show less

Best layout in an RV. Can go anywhere because it is 24'10" so under the 25' limit. Very user friendly. AC works fast. Electric everything. Extended gas tank perfect for long trips and good gas mileage. Show less

I have owned 2 Freelanders. The Class C bunk house is perfect for my family. Our 4 children each have a bed and we never have to break down the couch or dinette. Great storage space inside and out and we have plenty of room for us all when we are driving and also when we are camped. We have traveled 45 of the States in our Freelanders and have had the most amazing time. I recommend this make and model all the time. I have loved my RV! Show less

Great RV. Easy to drive,has the new Ford 6 speed automatic transmission. The qeen size bed is a dream. Lots of storage space. Didn't like the shore power hook up so i modified it. V-10 TRiton has lots of power, Mine sit's on the E-450 chassis which has the bigger breakes and larger load capacity. Show less

This is our 7th RV and by far the most enjoyable. If there wasn't a health problem, it wouldn't be for sale. Quality throughout. If there is a gig, it would be the bathroom could be slightly larger. The shower door is a great innovation. Show less
