Coachmen Apex Ultra Lite reviews

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

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

Failures in order to years owned. In the 1st year. The radio dvd player stopped working, the drawers in the kitchen the fases came off, cupboards in kitchen fail apart, the light strips on the front around the large picture window came off, . In the second year the motors for the slide and awning stopped working, the water pump melted and almost burned up the trailer, the exhaust fan in the bedroom stopped working, the shower head came apart. In the third year the floor is giving away in not big I'm 180lbs. Overall this trailer has been nothing but trouble and where I'm at you can't buy parts for it. The large picture window creates so much moisture it acts like a leak and the bed is falling apart due to moisture. I would refrain from buying this type of trailer. Show less

Excellent floodplain!! Tows well behind my Jeep Gladiator(diesel) . The problem with these campers is workmanship v͟e͟r͟y͟ P͟O͟O͟R͟!!! Problems I’ve encountered so far, leaking front window, black trim tape was pulling away from slide out trim, took dealer 6 weeks to make repairs!! Split hot waterline, shower leaks badly, unplugged space heater and the receptacle pulled completely out of the wall, Bathroom lavatory leaks, cupboard doors misaligned and hinges pull loose easily!! I’m a retired skilled trades person and have opted to make repairs myself. I definitely would not recommend Coachmen Apex campers or any Coachmen product line because I’m sure the build quality is probably the same!! Show less

This travel trailer has been a joy to own. It is easy to tow, gets in & out of "tight" areas (mountain switchback roads, etc.) and has performed well with the exception of the AC unit. After two domestic failures in first 3 years, we swapped over to the quieter and definitely more reliable Coleman MACH 1 AC system -- awesome! Never let us down at any time -- and has been towed up steep inclines even with our V6 2014 JEEP Grand Cherokee. Show less

The perfect floor plan, like a home away from home. We love it. Easy to tow and park, smooth towing, stable with only my weight distribution hitch. Great construction materials. Lots of extras were included. Show less

We camp in nature not on a Walmart parking lot! This last trip , we had to drive in a field, slowly but surely, there were a few dips. I turned on the propane and could smell propane. Check the line and it is pinched between the frame and spring, Not designed well or the installation was by a lazy person. Fortunately a friend had some tape and it made it through the week, not have to rip it apart and replace the hose. This was the last problem I had, so far….. I don’t recommend coachman trailers.

Absolutely the worst nightmare I have had with camper ownership. I bought a 245 Apex lite camper because I liked the idea of its tow ability and floor plan. From an axle brace not properly welded to propane lines not hooked up, to slide out problems and awning problems this camper has been nothing short of a nightmare. Had the extended warranty and I’ve landed up paying and paying and paying. Slide out ripped the flooring, they siliconed the loose rivers in. STAY AWAY. Since this I have researched worst campers to buy and coachman is rated number three. And the dealership? A joke! Show less

We purchased this RV, used, in 2013. Original owners used it twice and camping wasn't their thing. Our gain! We have had NO problems with this camper. None. Lots of storage, easy to tow, never had a water leak, everything works as expected 9 years later! Absolutely no complaints. Looking for a newer camper and would definitively stick with an apex if they have a layout we like with a bit more living space. Show less
