Coachmen BROOKSTONE reviews

We purchased the 370RLLO back in September, and so far it has been a pretty good unit. Typical issues with some loose trim, and cabinets opening during travel days. Came with the stackable washer and dryer and what a game changer that has been. They are a little cumbersome to get into because of the position in the cabinet, but they work great. Biggest problem that I have is the lack of storage in kitchen (mainly a pantry). Pulls really nice and doesn't beat you to death when pulling, can definitely see it coming from all angles. LOVES to eat propane in cold weather, and cools down pretty quick in warmer weather. I would suggest to Forest River that they ditch these GE units. Have recently found that the heat pump functions of them are useless under 40 degrees and they will lock themselves out under that temp. Also recommend that they go with a fireplace that has an adjustable temperature not just Low and High. We opted to ditch the King size bed for a Queen as it gives more room around the bed. Recommend to anyone looking at this rig to get on the roof and check that as well. I actually had to restretch mine during a road trip because it formed a bubble driving down the road. That was a huge pain. Unit has plenty of room however for 2 people and 2 medium size dogs. Support has been really good with solving issues that i couldn't figure out over the phone. Show less

We have a 2022 Coachman Brookstone 344fl. We purchased it brand new in Sept 22. It is the worst RV we have ever owned!!! The fist week we had it the A/C stopped getting cold, then the Fridge freezes up causing the fridge to stop cooling, heater keeps blowing fuses, the lippard auto level keeps giving error codes and keeps malfunctioning, one of the slides keeps trying to go in crooked, last month we were driving and the front black& grey tanks were falling out, luckily we caught it when we stopped for the night and were able to go to a truckstop repair and have a cross bar put on until we can get it into a shop, the we got parked and a few days later we noticed the back black and grey tanks are starting to fall as well. Numerous other problems with the interior.....It is a HUGE PIECE OF JUNK!!!! Cannot Wait to get rid of this RV!!!! Never again will I own a Forest River Brand, were very Brand loyal, but never again!!! Show less

We purchased a Coachmen Brookstone 344 FL in May of 2020. This was our 5rh camper and our first new one. All of the others were Keystones and were purchased used. As of August 20, 2022, the Coachmen that we purchased new has been nothing but junk. The 4th time we used it the motor went out on the awning with the awning out. Contacted the dealership but the unit was already out of warranty. The leveling system stopped working correctly around month 14, they have a 1 year warranty. The Dometic mini fridge stopped working around month 20...1 year warranty. The only item that was repaired under warranty was the shower drain that leaked water all over the bathroom floor the 2nd time we used it. Luckily for us our 2nd use was within the 1st 12 months and even then I had to call Carolina RV several times to get them to get the coach and repair it. Once they finally did repair noone notified me. I had to keep calling to ask. The amount of problems that have arisen with this new coach are more than the total of issues I had with the previous 4 campers combined. Awesome floor plan but not worth the $87,000 they're asking for them. I sent an email to customer service 2 weeks ago giving them an opportunity to make some of it right but my email was ignored. Stay away from Coachmen unless you like working on a piece of $90,000 junk. Show less

Very Comfortable and spacious. Large refrigerator, tons of storage. Very cozy layout. Very comfortable bedroom layout and love the double vanity bath, enough room for everyone’s stuff. Pulled very nice, disc brakes are amazing! Very cold A/C and huge tanks. Show less

Very Spacious and dependable. No issues, lived in ours for 4 months and we were very comfortable for 2 adults, 2 kids and our dog. The A/C kept us cool in the summer and heat system was perfect in cooler months. The Generator was very nice to have when there was a power outage during a storm. The double vanity sinks are very nice to have with tons of counter space and storage. Highly recommend this floor plan. The residential fridge was like being in our kitchen at home. Tons of storage everywhere and love the half bath. Show less

I buy and sell rvs and there is a diference in quality , some units are cardboard construction with staples and press board cabinets and no insulation to stay light for towing , and then there are units that are built like a house, bottom line is the diamond 367 is quality like a house and backed buy the manufacturer better than any builder I have ever met.

We love this 5th wheel. The floor plan is the best we have had with the rear entertainment system. You can see the tv from anywhere in the main living area- great for the cook! We also found the storage in this floorplan was very generous. For the first time, I had cupboards that were almost empty. It is very nicely appointed, including wine storage! We only had a couple of issues with this; a slide adjustment and the sewer dump cables. Both were repaired with no further trouble. I would recommend this floorplan and the Brookstone brand to anyone looking for a high end RV. Show less

We love the RV. We lived on in full time but had a family death that caused us to have to be more stationary. It is livable and space friendly. It has a great warranty and is wonderful towing. I recommend it especially if you are thinking full time. Show less

We have absolutely loved using this RV and as a 4 season coach we have had it in the mountains of Tennessee and of upstate New York and were very comfortable. It tows wonderfully and is very easy to setup. We have additional jacks for the slides to increase stability as well as a front hitch tripod. The amenities inside and out make enjoyment of the great outdoors very comfortable. With the 3 TVs, full surround sound system (including outdoor speakers), the 4 door fridge, deluxe 3 burner oven and microwave make preparing meals a breeze. Even the electric fireplace kept us toasty on those chilly nights and mornings. I would highly recommend this 50th anniversary model to newcomers and experienced RVers alike. Show less
