Coachmen Cross Country Elite Class A - Diesel reviews

DO NOT BUY FOREST RIVER PRODUCTS! Absolutely horrible experiences, picked up with issues in May 2021, it went back into the shop August 2021 with over 50 items wrong include brake line issues and foundational issues (walls falling off, water heater not put in far enough so cover can't close, shower leaking from behind walls, etc), came out of the shop in March 2023 with major issues still! Forest river is cheap and want to pay out a settlement that is pennies while trying to hush us. Also, the trade in/purchase value is pennies compared to what we paid for it, to use it for two months. They threw it together without quality control and we are the ones left holding their crappy product. They do not stand behind their quality and instead want you to just go away. Don't buy their products! Show less

I actually purchased and received a 2023 Coachmen Prism Elite 24CB. Website hasn’t been updated for current year production. I’ve had it for 2 months. Overall build and quality control is a -5 out of 10. When it was reported that the RV manufacturing industry is plagued with drug abuse and unskilled workers, the reports are 100% true. 80% of the visible screws are not in straight and flush. Sharp screw edges will definitely get your feet/socks often. Cabinet screws have splinters around them. Bunk shade controls were reversed. Black and grey tank monitors are reversed. Grey tank piping is leaking inside the RV. Grey tank piping before the dump valve was under so much stress, it just cracked. Flexible PVC piping would have worked better for the pipe angles they were trying to achieve. Heating tank pads are already coming apart. Cabin trim is coming loose. They hit one trim with 3 screws in the same area and couldn’t get it to anchor, then just moved on. RV monitoring display was shattered on a corner prior to delivery. Saw dust in every cabinet and inside the ceiling light covers. Cables under RV are exposed and dangling past the rear axle where it can get snagged and ripped out by road debris. Need to get an alignment because the steering wheel is turned more to the right for the RV to go straight. Inside TV has an issue turning on. Leveling system is not properly calibrated. Front is always lower when the system indicates it’s leveled. Exterior full body paint is flaking off. I even purchased that paint protection coat. Get yourself an old ambulance and some local drugged-out homeless workers and you’ll produce something that is a 0 out of 10. Show less

Overall poor workmanship. Entertainment center falling apart before we got it home. Main door doesn’t seal properly. When driving in rain dirty water accumulates all over RV floor. I have to stuff towels beside the bed (slide out) to soak up. You can see light coming in around the seal. Drawers not attached properly. Front hood paint peeling. Air pours in over frig ( problem when it’s windy out and cold). Tail pipe drags the ground going into about every gas station. Shower drain hose was cut too short and had tension on it, after driving 3000 miles it became detached and when showering water everywhere. Dealer had to put an extension on it. Cannot use satellite dish externally through the existing cables, have to run a wire through the window to get it to work. Drives nicely though. Show less
