Coachmen Freedom Express Liberty Edition reviews

2018 Freedom express second owners on our second trip the left rear axle hanger bracket tore clean away from the frame and twisted the rear of the hanger brackets. We barely made it back home. This is obviously a design flaw an RV frame should never fail after only 8 years. Call Forest River (parent company) their reply was we don't build the frame and forwarded me to Lippert who also blew me off. Both companies refuse to be accountable for building a travel trailer with a terrible frame design. These Lippert frames are known to start cracking and start separating. Lippert and Forest River already have one frame recall in place its just a matter of time these shitty frames are also recalled let's hope it before some get killed. Come Forest River and Lippert own up you sold trailers with dangerous frames. Show less

We love everything about this trailer (great family memories). We love the high-end kitchen and private front bedroom. This is the largest bunkhouse we've seen in a travel trailer that doesn't require a 3/4-ton truck, and the shelving and clothes cabinet is more than enough space for all our kids' stuff. Wife loves the large pantry, spacious bathroom and adult-sized shower. The slideout is nearly the length of the trailer (minus the bedrooms), making it very spacious and open. Show less

This Coachmen 30’ travel trailer is beautiful inside with ALL the upgrades available. It has a great outdoor kitchen, perfect for hot summer days, and has tv set up and full awning . Big comfy King bed in private bedroom w/lots of cabinets/closets, plus full storage under bed to outside hatch. XL front kitchen w/tons of cabinets and 2 pantries, perfect dinette/bed, w/storage under seats. Very comfy heat massage light recliners in front of big tv. Highly Recommend buying this camper. I did not qualify for a loan. In GA if you buy Rv from person NOT dealer you DONT Pay ANY Sales tax, Saving Thousands (7%) Show less

We thoroughly enjoyed this trailer. Our goal was to snowbird, moving every three weeks or so, so we were looking for something towable but with the size of a destination trailer. This trailer met our requirements perfectly. We lived in it for three to four months each year, and we never felt cramped. The floor plan and towability were what sold us, and we truly appreciated those features. We bought our trailer new and experienced some initial quality issues after a one-week trial camp nearby. The dealer was able to address the major problems under warranty, and we haven't had any significant issues since then. This is a good-sized, very tow-able trailer that suited our needs very well.

Very happy with this Travel Trailer. Have owned several other makes but this is by far the best. Lived out of this camper a week a month for 2 years in high altitude colorado while building a house. Experienced many cross country adventures with almost no problems over 4 years. 5 out of 5 stars on this one. Show less

Why are all my windows leaking and causing mold and I cannot get anyone at the Forest River Corporate office to call me back? I'm temporarily living in my RV and have a cat and 2 dogs. I cannot take my trailer to the dealership so I called the main office to get a off site tech to come look at the trailer. I'm not getting any help or anyone calling me back! FRUSTRATED> Show less

This was our first RV purchase and we have had it now for 3 years. We have been on about 12 trips with it - the longest being 12 hours to Arkansas. It fits our family of five perfectly, with room to add 3 more friends or family members. The separate bunk room for the kids is perfect, and my 5'9" daughter sleeps comfortably in there. It is great that they have their own space, and we have ours in the master bedroom. We have run the heater and the a/c for days straight and it has worked perfectly, we were very comfortable. I love the rainy days when we stay inside and watch movies too. The outdoor space is great - the outdoor kitchen is perfect for our coffee maker, kids sodas and snacks, and extra utensils, we used it quite a bit. There is even an outdoor shower if needed - we only needed it once at the lake. The storage is perfect too - we fit SO much into all the cabinets inside, as well as outside. We had enough towels, games, cleaning supplies, dishes, you name it - to make this basically a second home. Towing the camper was very easy, my husband's F150 had no problems at all. I can't say enough good things about this camper, we have had a wonderful experience with it all the way around. Show less

A modern, clean design with comfort in mind that fits up to 9 people. The rear room contains 3 single bunks with shelving and a closet. The master bedroom shares a rotating TV with the living room and lots of storage space around and under the queen bed. The main area boasts a dinette and a jack-knife sofa which both convert into full-size beds. In the same room is a kitchen with clean appliances and huge countertops. The outdoor kitchen offers a sink with running water, a propane stove, some storage, and a mini fridge waiting to be filled with your tasty beverages! Show less

Spacious Sleeping: This RV is a lifesaver for big families. The bunks in the back comfortably slept the kids, and the master bedroom with a queen bed offered plenty of space for us. Plus, the convertible dinette could sleep another person if needed. Storage Savvy: We were impressed with the amount of storage this RV has. From the overhead cabinets to the under-bed compartments, we never felt cramped for space to stash our camping gear and clothes. Towability: The Freedom Express 292BHDS towed surprisingly well behind our F-150. It felt stable on the road, and we didn't experience any major towing challenges. Usable Kitchen: The kitchen had everything we needed to whip up meals for the family. We especially liked the good counter space and outside kitchen. Overall Recommendation: Overall, we really enjoyed our camping trip with the Freedom Express 292BHDS. It's a great option for families who need a lot of sleeping space and appreciate good storage solutions. With a little planning for the smaller bathroom and cooler mornings, I would definitely recommend this RV to other families. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being extremely likely, I'd say we're a solid 10 on recommending this RV. Show less

We bought our 2019 Coachmen Catalina 243 RBS new. I have to tell you, it's been nothing but problems. First the air conditioner on the roof wasn't tightened down and when it rained, we had to put a bucket under it. The repair shop said they could almost turn it sideways, that's how loose it was. Second issue was rain dripping on us while we were sleeping. The seal in the front where the roof meets the metal needed to be caulked all over. I did that myself. This happened twice. Third, the switch on the power jack went out and I had to replace that. Fourth, the factory didn't caulk one side of the travel trailer. The dealership noticed that when we brought it in to have the air-conditioner tightened. Fifth, one day we noticed they didn't even bother to put trim where the floor and wall meet. They did it in some areas and not others. I would have to say that I am disappointed in the workmanship of this travel trailer. I would tell anyone that is considering buying any travel trailer or RV, to buy one that is a couple of years old. Otherwise it'll sit in the shop half the time getting repairs done. Show less
