Coachmen APEX NANO 191RBS 191RBS reviews

I bought this travel trailer brand new. First weekend camping, I realized one of the stabilizer jacks was bent, 3 water connections were leaking, the screen door latch broke and wall panels had to reattached. Pictures of the damage was sent to the dealer. I ended up fixing everything myself as the dealer wanted me to bring it to their service center which was an hour and a half away. The dealer refused to send replacement parts. Since that weekend I’ve repaired a leaking skylight and several other places on the roof. The bathroom faucet needed replacement. The tires were replaced after 12,000 miles because of ply separation. The entry door lock has been replaced due to the door shifting while traveling. I sealed up the holes around the pipes due to large gaps. I like the layout and storage of this camper, but the quality should be improved. Show less

I've wrote a previous reviews on my trailer. This is the latest on Forest River/Coachmen. The people who work in the parts room seem to think it OK to send someone parts that don't fit your trailer. I had problems with outriggers that are by the tires (both front and back of). I went over a abrupt bump on a cross street in the town where I live. When I went over the trailer bounced (it wasn't over weighted). When it bounced it caused the tires to catch and bend the outriggers. So I contacted the company because the dealership where I purchased it didn't seem to want to help me. The company said they could send me the replacements. In the mean time I contacted Lippert who makes the frame to let them know about the issue. They (Lippert) sends me four outriggers (totally rusty). So I contacted Forest River because I thought it was them who sent me this junk. They said no they didn't. The person I was emailing about this at Forest River said she would send me replacement (I needed four). Today I get a box from UPS and I open it. Inside there are three outriggers. One is the correct size and the other two are much larger in height. The length is OK but I needed four outriggers. I don't know what level of schooling these people who send the parts out have, but this junk that I have sitting by me is going to be like the last ones thrown away. This is why when January rolls around it is going to traded in for a different brand of trailer. No more of this stuff that every time you go camping and you hope and pray that nothing else will happen. I would NOT recommend this brand trailer to my neighbor. Show less

Found another problem since our June 9 2019 trip. When we were coming home hit a bump which caused it to bounce. In inspecting the frame for rust I noticed a couple of the out riggers were bent behind the tires. Apparently when it bounced the tires caught the out riggers and bent them forward. I contacted Coachmen Service/Warranty person and sent him photos of the damaged parts. He said they were installed wrong. He tells me that he will send me a replacement and I'm to take it in to a weld shop to be fixed. My question is if mine is an isolated case or are all the same models are like this. This trailer, which I haven't found out what day it was built continues to have issues after issues ever since January 2018. All the company does is send parts for me to fix. I feel this thing needs to be on their time to get fixed. Show less

Last year I wrote review on this trailer and since owning for over a year now things haven't changed. Our first time camping (June 9th for one night) things started out fine until the next morning. First of all the mattress they put into these trailers are not much more than sleeping on the ground in a tent. So in saying this I decided to make the dinette into a bed and use it to sleep. The next morning came and when I went to get up everything went boom. One of the strips of wood that holds the table top broke and I went down avoiding getting scratched by the now exposed screw. Last year a lot of the cabinets were falling apart and now this. I don't want to challenge what is next. I pay over $21000 for this trailer and was hoping it would be easy to use (I was wrong). This latest thing I'm going to repair it myself. There is no time to take it in for repairs because we will be going camping again in less than a month. Like I said before I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I had a 2002 Chalet for 14 years and never had problems like this. Show less

We are new to RVing and when our Apex needed repair work done we received excellent care from the Service and Parts Department at [dealer], Ellwood City, PA. Thanks for helping us and work well done. Show less

I was looking for easy set up trailer. Before I got this one I had a little tent type trailer and after less than one year found it hard to set up and put away due to design. So I did my research (or so I thought I did). I found out at the time a trailer that fit my needs. All you have to do is level it and put the jacks down and hook up water etc. I've had this trailer about 8 months and in this time (make note it is a 2018) the trim inside the trailer as well as some of the cabinets are coming apart. Most of which are stapled together similar to lesser quality furniture at big box stores. This trailer was about $22,000 new. As for towing it has been the worst experience I've ever had in towing a trailer. When I purchased it they put one of sway bar things that you have to remove when backing up. It still swayed going down the road. Then I had another style sway control put on the the trailer but it continued to sway with some very uncomfortable times (white knuckle). My tow vehicle a 2017 Chevy Colorado with a 2.8 Liter diesel. In the past I had a fiberglass pop up trailer 18 foot long loaded with water propane battery and all the camping didn't need sway control because it n ever swayed. I feel they could have done better at making a descent trailer that would actually last longer than this one is. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Show less
