Coachmen Encounter
Avg. Rating

This unit has been very dependable with few problems. Has steer safe assembly installed therefore it handles better than the original front end design. Never towed with it, but it has substantial power. Took out dinette for office chairs, and added a computer desk. No leaks ever from the roof or windows. Roof gets treated twice a year, and the unit is waxed twice a year. Good buy if you want a quality motorhome, without breaking the bank.

I have owned this unit since June 2016 and it has been remarkably trouble-free thus far. I tow a 22' boat (5000 lbs) extensively and it has handled that like a champ, I probably wouldn't want to drag that through the mountains, but on the relatively flat terrain in my area it has been great, even launching/retrieving goes smoothly with some pre-planning. Love the quality upgrade elements on this coach like Corian counters, porcelain tile throughout, and solid wood doors and cabinets. Mine was previously a rental so very high miles, but the Ford chassis has been bulletproof thus far. Great unit!

The floor plan is exactly what my wife and I where looking for. The quality of this RV is amazing. From the Corian counter tops, the tile floor, real wood cabinets, residential double fridge,washer and dryer, and all off the other standard amenities. The coachman hasn't given us 1 problem yet after 12000 miles and 5 yrs.

This unit handles like a dream and my wife drove it as much as I did. The floor plan has 3 zone living and is quite unique. It is very comfortable to travel in and kitchen, bathroom and bedroom are all accessible with the slides in as well. It comes Witt a lot of extra upgrades. We purchased a larger unit!

We Searched for a long time and found this coach to have everything we wanted. We have enjoyed it trouble free since purchase. The quality of all the amenities and workmanship speak for themselves. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Bought my Coachmen New in June 2015, Have had a few issues, but over all it has been very good. Ford motorhome division was excellent and responsive, The Coachmen People & Plant in Middlebury, Ind. is the best place to get problems resolved. They also have a campground area where you can stay anytime for free and while you are having your coach repaired We have put over 22,000 miles and coverd over 30 states from Texas to Florida up to Washington and Canada.

We traveled in this motorhome from north Texas to Wisconsin towing a Honda Fit. Then from Wisconsin to California. We encountered many types of terrain with no problems. Upon arrival in California, my wife stated that she was not leaving (grandkids are here). So the RV is in storage and is not being used much. A great buy!

While we had a few QC issues when we bought our coach all were taken care of by our dealer. Parts supply from the manufacturer seemed a bit slow on one occasion. However after talking with the factory rep my pets arrived in a timely manor. We have traveled about 19000 miles in the last 18 months over the US and Canada. So far things have been as expected. I made a couple of modifications to reading lights and bathroom fixtures that we wanted. Overall we are happy with our coach and our dealer Holiday World of Houston in Willis Tx.

I am very impressed and excited enjoying and traveling the US with our Rv. My wife and our grand children are excited about all the advadventures we will encounter traveling around the US. This is our first Rv.
