We have had this trailer for 5 years now. Bought it brand new from an RV show and take it out about 3 times a year. We really like the floor plan for this trailer and the look of it but we are not to happy with the quality of the furniture inside the trailer. The padding on everything you sit or lay on is cheap and the fabric of the couch and dinette have already started coming apart. With only about 100 days of use total you would think thinks would have held together a bit better. Not sure we will purchase another from this manufacturer. As for as issues go for this rig we had an issue with the slide out and a broken pipe under the sink the first year but the manufacturer took care of the repairs without issue so I will give them credit for that. We are now deciding to either gut the dining room and living room and get new furniture or move on to a new rig. I definitely don’t feel like we got good value for our money with this trailer.

We loved the floor plan. We bought it brand new, and after the dealer prepped it and put our weight distribution hitch on we were good to go. From day one it was nothing but problems. Collapsed levers, refrigerator trim falling off, shades that would not stay up, kitchen sink drain leaking, shower valves leaking inside the wall, no heat in the bedroom, gutter rails leaking, awning would not roll in straight, both slide outs gouging into the flooring, trim missing, trim falling off, moodlights on framing falling off, slide out falling out at top while going down the road, A/C freezing up, oven not relighting after getting to temperature. I am sure I am missing something... the dealer did buy it back after only five months.... buyer beware.

Owner this rig for 3 years and bought it new from Jody's RV in greenwood. A few little hick-ups the first time out, propane stops if you open the valve to fast (safety feature I was not aware of). Exhaust fan did not work, never used until a year in. Received excellent support from Jody's RV and would highly recommend this Coachman model to others. I was more impressed with the dealer.

We purchased this camper brand new at a camper show. It has been very good to us ! It has a great layout, with many nice features including an electric fireplace! I haven't had too many issues with the workmanship, maybe a loose piece of interior trim or something, no big deal. All of the equipment in this camper seems to be top notch! Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice camper at a good price.

Purchased new from Kamper City,Peninsula, Ohio. Complained about seals and water leaks since delivered. Never fixed b/c unable to find. Floor now damaged and nobody wants to fix cuz out of warranty. Had 2 QC inspections at plant & Corporate. Worst of 4 campers. Would never recommend dealer or Mfgr. Was sold a bill of goods by both at the IX Center RV show in Cleveland, Oh. Floor is spongy, bowed and bolts from under Flooring starting to protrude thru linoleum. This is strictly engineering and workmanship. Also had 4 windows that leaked Water. Dealer replaced 1 wiper seal under one 3 slideouts and wanted me to pay $300 cuz he said it wasn't warranty yet he was on site doing warranty work. He wouldn't honor insurance coverage that He sold me as bumper to bumper coverage. And this occurred after he replaced wiper seal. Response times were lengthy in between return trips, wrong parts ordered and lost. No communications to me on follow up calls. Owner obnoxious to deal with. Refused to do anymore cuz he says out of warranty now yet it was NEVER REPAIRED from the beginning when I placed Numerous Complaints about faulty seals and water leaks. I was told by Coachmen direct that after it passed plant QC that it would take an extra couple days but they would take unit to Corporate office and perform an additional QC inspection which they normally don't do but assurd me of nothing short of perfection. I was lied to by dealer about the"Platinum" insurance policy that I paid extra for and its coverage. When they replaced wiper seal they told me it wouldn't be covered by insurance. Several mos. later I spoke to Ins. Co. And was told they would have covered it. I have another seal on another slide out that is ripped like the first one. Something tips them up when they are extended and retracted. Trim moldings kept falling off walls, cabinets and ceiling. The Bed ble apart several times when sat on. I FINALLY had to fix problems by using screws and not stapling plywood panels. To say the least, I'm furious. I bought 4 trailers from Kamper city in the past. Three were Sportsmen and we were sold on better quality and workmanship if we bought Coachmen. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. 9/1/19
