We are very happy with our RV, the quality and workmanship is superior to all other RVs we looked at before making our purchase and overall we are satisfied with the value for the price. We had a minor issue with the mattress that came with our RV and when we expressed our concern Coachmen's Warranty and Service Manager Debra O'Rourke promptly offered to send us a replacement mattress but we had already decided to purchase a premium RV mattress so she arranged to send us a cheque to cover the cost. Couldn't ask for better service thank you Forest River Corp. Show less

It’s a step up from a Coleman. Very disappointing when our camper was delivered. Poor finishing touches. Kinda cheap inside after you look closer to it. Our stove never worked from first trip out. No way you can take it off grid. There is no power to it. On day two the fridge drains your battery. The heater insulation melted and the heater was full of water. Crack in the side camper wall happened after first use. Good luck trying to get customer service on the phone. There is not enough power to run the camper fridge alone by itself. We have two lithium batters and the fridge drains it. We honestly don’t think they even put insulation in the walls. I wish I can get my money back. I feel so ripped off! Show less

Bought this trailer new in 2021 and absolutely love it. Great layout and plenty of storage. Love the large closet at the entry that doubles as a pantry. Nice size bathroom with a lot of cabinet space. Outdoor kitchen is ok...dump that Colman grill it's junk. We got the upgraded AC, frameless windows and theater seating. Quality - There was some trim that needed staples touched up and one trim piece that was cut short all taken care of by the dealer. We only put 10,000 miles on it so far with half of that last year after I retired. Show less

This camper has served us well. Very well built, sturdy. You truly don’t know that it’s back there while hauling. Only issue we have found is the cheap scissor jacks they put on. Do recommend buying different ones. Spend 33,000 on a camper these should be better quality. Show less

Love the floor plan. The issue is we just bought our camper two weeks ago, took it out for the very first time and the refrigerator quit completely. ( Furrion Refrigerator) Tried everything to see if it was a relay or something else. Here all the coolant leaked out. Until Coachmen uses a different product, I'd stay away from them, after reading all of the refrigerator issues they have on line. Don't buy one with that model of fridge in it. Show less

Frame and suspension had ten years worth of rust when it was three months old. Treated it with phosphoric acid and POR-15. Cabinet doors popped open by themselves on the Interstate and ended up on the floor due to the cheap catches and hinges. Upgraded the hinges and added latches. Rear blind fell off (the heavy wood valance was held on by just 2 #6 screws put into nothing but the wallboard). Screwed them back in to the metal window frame. Couch broke free while driving on the Interstate. Rear cabinet bottom coming apart, had to add brackets. Cabinet over the sink started to fall apart, had to add brackets. 12v battery terminal nuts run only halfway down on the studs (not even finger tight). Bad ground on the bathroom vent fan. Condensation in running lights. Easily breakable refrigerator door handles. Cheap staples holding bed box panel on. Water heater electric element burned out on delivery. Water pump running continuously, pump replaced. Wall outlet covers falling off. Dome light covers falling off. The 12v battery doesn't have much storage, on off-grid night four the heater and refrigerator stopped working because there wasn't enough voltage (my site was ~50% shaded and the solar panel is only 100 watts). I replaced it with a couple of 6v golf cart units in series, and am planning a major upgrade to the solar capacity. In the meantime I bring a generator to boondock. Show less

Problem after problem. Switches failing, soft spots in the floor, water heater quit working, water pump quit working, toilet broke, slide out motors failing multiple times, slide out frame work broke, axle installed improperly from factory, interior fake wood covering is peeling, exterior trim is falling off, sealer around roof accessories is cracking and lifting. This trailer has so many problems you would think it was 15 years old but it is less than 5 years old. And if you include covid time that it wasn't used this trailer would be considered lightly used. I would highly encourage any rv buyer to stay as far away as possible from coachman apex. Show less

This RV has been a nightmare. Every trip we have taken we have had issues. It’s poorly made. We have gotten multiple flat tires and this time we pulled off the flat tire to find a broken leaf spring. We then noticed that the other leaf spring is about to break. This trailer uses an odd size that no one caries so we had to abandon the trailer in order to get home for work. We will now have to order parts online and drive 8 hours back to where the trailer is to fix it and get it home. It uses a 24” leaf when most use 25. 1/4. Come to find out the leafs are only rated to carry the trailer with nothing in it. This trailer is advertised as having the off road package so you can camp off the grid. How can you camp off the grid if you can’t carry water?? There is no reason the leaf springs should have broken on this trailer!! We have owned several trailers and never had this many problems. It might get you to the neighborhood park next to your house but traveling across the country does not work without a problem every trip on this trailer. Show less

I have owned various travel trailers and this coachman apex is by far the best. The quality of the build and workmanship exceeds my expectations . The great appliances in the trailer are all quality. Sure beats my last trailer the first time out with it we had 3 pages of fixes for the manufacture to fix. The apex to this point has had just minor fixes which can be expected. Hope it continues this way we are very pleased with floor plan and storage space this floor plan offers is great. Would I recommend this trailer for sure. Show less
