Class B+ reviews

This coach drives like a dream with the comfort drive feature. The size is perfect for any state parks. Not too big and not too small. 34ft, 10ins in length. 3 slides. 1 huge slide on the drivers side and 2 slides on the passenger side. Also, you can slide out the slides without being level which is great if on unlevel ground. The lighting system is great throughout the coach. The 360 hp cummins diesel engine with Allison 3000, 6 speed automatic transmission pulls my 4 door Ford F-150 up and down hills great. You don't even know it's behind you. The a/c and heating is great with the heating being propane furnace or heat pump. All Tires was replaced approx. 2 years ago and all batteries replaced about a year ago. We have traveled much and are taking a break for now. Show less

Bought new and garaged from day one. 15 MPG with Mercedes diesel. A joy to drive, power. Went to west coast three times and eastern Canada. MPG would run from 13 to 18 per tank but would always average 15 at trips end. No problems. Bedroom had option of two singles or California king sofa was 60 inch queen plus over cab bunk. Still all original appliances. Bunk windows leaked at first and then factory to back and repaired and made about 10 more improvements, all free of charge. Very pleased Show less

The Ford F650 chassis this super c is built on makes this rig very easy to drive. It is a very rough ride for anyone behind the driver seat however. We will be upgrading the suspension ASAP. On paper nexus seems like the right company to build these rigs, but in reality their execution matches every other garbage builder in competition to see how much the customer will pay for less and less craftsmanship. Starting with lack of sealant EVERYWHERE. No exaggeration i have spent 3 weeks crawling every inch sealing where they missed. We had water intrusion in every storage cabinet and all along the bulk head where the cab meets the living space. There is no protective coating to keep rust away from their exposed "steel cage construction " under the rig. Chafed wires in and around everything that needed to be repaired. The roof top ac units do not line up with the roof ducts and result in poor air flow. When welding the leveler to the frame they melted a factory ford wire bundle. There are screw holes in the floor where it seems like the tried to mount the cabinets then decided to move them. It wasn't until after my high preassure rushed purchase from the general rv that I realized my truck didnt come with any of the standard features marketed on their website (power mirrors, air ride seats etc). It feels like we bought the prototype proof of concept model built on a left over chassis. The premium full body paint they are so proud of is super thin with orange peel and over spray throughout the rig. I have purchased and replaced multiple plugs caps and body panel gromets that were taken out for painting and not reinstalled. There is a huge gap in quality of details for a super c class rig. Overall we are happy with the design and layout but if I could go back I would have selected a different manufacture. Yes this is a brand new rv and under warranty but if they didnt do it right the first time, how long will it take if at all to get it right the second time. Show less

We purchased this RV from Rightside Up RV in Salt Lake, and we love it. They replaced the AC compressor under a good faith warranty. The Norcold refrigerator was a power hog both on 120v and propane. We replaced it with a Whirlpool 11 cu/ft 120v unit. We picked it because it is exactly 24" wide and short enough to fit in the space. It uses a third of the energy. We have a washer/dryer unit, a microwave, and a stove with an oven. The dealer was fair and we got a good deal on an RV with 19,000 miles. The plastic on all of our seating hasn't cracked. We love our Bounder. Show less

Had a great experience owning a Coachmen Mirada By Forest River 350S, we owned a Forest River travel trailer prior and never had a problem with it in 11 years and then a bidding war over the condition when sold (sold for more than we paid for it). These units appear to hold up very well. Mirada 350S has all the features of the more expensive models. Look and compare yourself, we choose to save 100-150 thousand and still have full kitchen, fridge, captains chairs, theater seating, full size with private doors master bedroom and outdoor shower to name a few. We felt this was a smart purchase for us and we had zero regrets, you can comfortably live in this with a washer and dryer if you choose. Show less

We purchased our 2022 Freedom Elite new from the dealer in Fort Myers. The purchase experience was awful, and the service department was twice as awful. The nightmares started when about a year into owning of this RV, we started dealing with leaks in the front portion over the Ford cockpit. Took the vehicle in and after a month sitting at the dealership, I picked up the vehicle and took it home. A few months later, we had a heavy down pour and when I went to inspect the vehicle after the rains stopped, the entire headliner, dash, driver's and passenger seat were flood. In fact, the radio was damaged from water intrusion. Took the vehicle back in and now it sat for 3 months. I personally showed them where the water intrusion was located and they confirmed the location of the problem. After picking up the vehicle, on the way back home, a two-hour drive, it was raining and to my surprise, I looked up and the headliner was getting wet. As soon as I arrived home, I striped the head liner off and notice the BS repair the dealer made. It was a worthless attempt done by apparently an amateur. I set to dehumidifiers in the cabin and that weekend; I put a new seal between the Ford cabin roof cut out and the underside of the bunk head where they join. I caulk the inside and outside of the roof cutout and added a second black rubber seal on the outside of the roof cutout. I have to say, it looks nicer that the garbage vinyl seals the factory uses. It's been a year and that was the last she ever leaked. The leaks are inherited due to poor quality, lack of workmanship and design issues, which could be easily corrected but apparently not a concern for the manufacturer as their warranty protects them from water leaks. There are 3 main leak points on the Freedom Elite. The first one is the 5 LED marker lights across the roof above the bunk head fiberglass cap. These LEDs each fit into a hole in the roof. The LED's have a rubber O-ring that is supposed to prevent water intrusion. Unfortunately, the O-rings rot from exposure to the sun and rain over time and the water enters into the front portion of the bunk bed extension behind the inner wall and works its way down the left and right bulk heads just behind the driver and passenger doors. Mold build up will be heavy and will require immediate attention. The second point of intrusion are the front left and right aluminum moldings that join the side walls to the fiberglass hood of the bunk head. Under the vinyl molding insert that covers the aluminum molding, there are self-tapping screws the Mfg. secures the molding down to the wood / aluminum super structure. We removed the vinyl molding insert and found more than half of the screws were heavily rusted and there were no caulking or seals before the screws were driven down. We even found holes with no screws. This is just lack of quality control and interest in providing the finished product. As for the 3rd issue, the rubber seal around the roof cutout of the cab as mentioned seems to be a popular problem that I have run into with other owners of the Thor product. Show less

We have owned our Weekend Warrior Road Warrior RWS-3400 for almost a year now, we camp in it on average 7 days of every month. We have put almost 7k miles on the rig, we purchased used and have had our share of service work, we were lucky to buy from a dealer and get an extended warranty, it is paying off. The construction is good, the quality of parts they put on and the design aspect was before its time. Weekend Warrior had dialed in on the Toy Hauler Trailers and picked an excellent platform for the motorhome, the Kodiak 5500. Show less

Review for the 2021 Thor Chateau 24F: We purchased our 2021 Thor Chateau 24F, brand new right off the show room floor from LA MESA RV in La Mesa California. We had just retired and planned to travel the United States. We have now had the Motorhome for five years and it has only 8000 miles on it. 2500 of those miles was from transporting it to California. Not for the lack of trying to use it but for the continuous MANUFACTURES defects. First test run the coach electrical system failed on the first night at 2AM. We took it in after a 2 month wait to get into service. We were told it was because we didn’t charge the battery all the way. The service manager stated it takes at least 48 hours of being plugged in. We plugged it in and took it out again. Again, the coach died the FIRST night at 2AM. Took it back after waiting for an appointment. This time we were told the battery that came with the coach was defective and needed to be replaced. This is not covered under the NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY. We replace the battery and still the coach would not make it ONE night. We finally replace the electrical system to the tune of $4000 and every worked great. Next, the motorhome was bottoming out on EVERY dip in the road. The service Manager at La Mesa RV told us it was because the plumbing for black tank was too low and this is not covered. I took the motorhome over to Weldtech and they explained to me and showed me that the entire suspension was inadequate for this motorhome. They replaced it for $7000 dollars and now no more bottoming out. Long story short it has been one thing after another. Thousands of dollars replacing parts and system on this Thor Motorhome. LA MESA RV AND THOR Motors are absolutely NO help and so far NOTHING has been covered under the new vehicle warranty or the $7000 dollar extended warranty. I hope this review will keep some of the couples who work all their lives and wish to travel the US in a motorhome to STAY AWAY FROM LA MESA RV AND THOR MOTORHOMES. Thank you for reading this review and have a blessed day. One last thing, We just return from a trip we had to cut short because the slide out came off the track and now the slideout is crooked.

I purchased a ~$200,000 Storyteller Overland van from La Mesa RV (Fremont), built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, and this has been one of the most frustrating ownership experiences I’ve ever had. Even the purchase process should have been a warning sign. While finalizing paperwork, the finance manager at La Mesa RV openly acknowledged that issues often “fall through the cracks” between Mercedes and Storyteller, and then aggressively pushed an extended warranty—going so far as to say it was “stupid” not to buy it after spending this much on a van. At the time, it felt inappropriate. In hindsight, it feels like a clear warning of what was to come. From the very first drive home, I started getting battery warning lights. Within a month, the van broke down completely on a trip to Los Angeles and had to be towed after going into limp mode. I was told the battery was replaced and everything was fixed. It wasn’t. Since then, the van has repeatedly failed to start, including being completely dead after sitting unused. I’ve now had to call Mercedes roadside assistance multiple times, most recently being told to let the engine run to recharge the battery—only for it to die again immediately after turning it off. At one point, even roadside support noted flickering interior lights suggesting deeper electrical issues. What’s most frustrating is that none of this was disclosed upfront: • La Mesa RV never mentioned these known battery drain issues • Storyteller Overland never explained that the vehicle cannot sit unused for more than 1–2 weeks without requiring a battery tender or disconnect system • Mercedes-Benz has not taken ownership of diagnosing or resolving what now appears to be a systemic electrical problem Only AFTER I started digging did I hear from a Storyteller representative that these issues are widely known and tied to vans sitting for extended periods before sale. So let me summarize: • I paid ~$200K for a vehicle I cannot rely on • I’ve spent 20+ hours troubleshooting and coordinating service • I’ve had to tow it and call roadside assistance multiple times • I still do not have a functioning, dependable vehicle • And no one—not La Mesa RV, not Storyteller, not Mercedes—has taken responsibility or offered a real solution Instead, I’ve been bounced between companies, each implying it’s someone else’s problem. This feels like a system where the dealer sells it, the manufacturer builds it, Mercedes supplies the chassis—and when something goes wrong, nobody owns the outcome. At this point, I genuinely believe I was sold a defective vehicle without proper disclosure. If you’re considering buying from La Mesa RV, a Storyteller Overland van, or anything built on a Mercedes Sprinter platform, do your homework on these battery and electrical issues first. I wanted this van for adventures with my family. Instead, it’s been a time-consuming, expensive, and deeply disappointing experience. Show less

I wish there was a way to add photos to this review.But all of the seating in this motor home, which has less than ten thousand miles on.It is falling apart. The vinyl or whatever they call this stuff is chipping and shredding like somebody put sandpaper to it. The back closet has white mold and mildew on it from a roof leak. Again less than ten thousand miles. Screenshot to tell you that I love you.Recently, had to put ten thousand dollars into the DEF system. It is a piece of junk.Do not buy holiday rambler. Show less
