Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 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

The RV was delivered in excellent condition with only a couple of very minor issues. A couple of staples were showing under the flooring but the dealer had that fixed as soon as it was pointed out. The black water flush did not work but after a quick inspection, the dealer located a kink in the line to the tank so after straightening the line the system worked properly. Show less

We are very happy with our RV, the quality and workmanship is superior to all other RVs we looked at before making our purchase and overall we are satisfied with the value for the price. We had a minor issue with the mattress that came with our RV and when we expressed our concern Coachmen's Warranty and Service Manager Debra O'Rourke promptly offered to send us a replacement mattress but we had already decided to purchase a premium RV mattress so she arranged to send us a cheque to cover the cost. Couldn't ask for better service thank you Forest River Corp. 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

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

Bought this trailer new in 2021 and absolutely love it. Great layout and plenty of storage. Love the large closet at the entry that doubles as a pantry. Nice size bathroom with a lot of cabinet space. Outdoor kitchen is ok...dump that Colman grill it's junk. We got the upgraded AC, frameless windows and theater seating. Quality - There was some trim that needed staples touched up and one trim piece that was cut short all taken care of by the dealer. We only put 10,000 miles on it so far with half of that last year after I retired. 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 camper has served us well. Very well built, sturdy. You truly don’t know that it’s back there while hauling. Only issue we have found is the cheap scissor jacks they put on. Do recommend buying different ones. Spend 33,000 on a camper these should be better quality. 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
