Coachmen reviews

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

Small from the outside, spacious inside. Drives like a smooth van, not a "rig"! No slideouts=no problems! No problems with leaks, with awkward interior, or not being allowed a campsite! Coachmen communications & honoring of warranties is exceptional, but the ease & simplicity of this vehicle requires little maintenance. It has been a dream to own this motorhome, & the simplicity, ruggedness, & ease of use of it allowed us to gain the full experience of living on the road. A sad goodbye the day I can't use her anymore! Highly recommend! 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

Very disappointed with this super c!Once I drove it off the lot is was full of issues both on the Coachmen part of the rig and the Chevy chassis. Spent 6 months driving it back and forth from the Chevrolet dealership to get recalls fixed and waiting for remedies to fix the recalls. The mechanics worked long and hard to fix chassis problems that constantly occurring! Next back and forth driving was to the closest rv dealership to fix all the problems in the coach! The list is so long here are some highlights: faulty levelers - they replaced the control panel 3 times and still not working properly, microwave hung up my one screw, black-gray- tanks sensors not connected, solar not working because wires not connected , slide retracting into the cupboard, on and on! Camped one time in the thing! So discussed with the quality of the rv! Show less

Small but can fit in a regular parking space if you can back up to open area. Planning on redoing interior to brighten it up and convert the over cab bed to storage. Small but functional shower. Could use more counter space for cooking prep, but if you like to cook outdoors that’s fine. Large storage “garage”. Works well for 2 people or less. Show less

The Galleria for the most part has been a very good experience for my wife and I. When I got the Galleria the rear door bike rack was really convenient other than it bent the rear door’s requiring a new door and I had to purchase a new bike rack for the hitch. I really liked the door rack cause it free’d up my hitch for other gear. The problem I have now is the refrigerator failed after 2 years and finding a replacement is proving maddening for us. The replacement fridge looks great but is 4 inches too deep extending out into the aisle. I’ve got a couple of folks looking into it although I spent a small fortune on an appliance that isn’t quite right. Coachmen I need to get this resolved. Show less

Great trailer! We love it! It's plenty big for our family, and it has great features! We love that it has the actual bedroom up front, along with an outside door! The bunks are nice for the kids, and it's extra handy to be able to flip up the bottom bunk and have the extra storage/hang up space. One of the unique features of this camper is the walk-in pantry.

We purchased this a year ago, used. Lucky for us because we think any warranty issues were resolved. The only issue we had was a problem deploying the auto leveling system. Turns out, the seller reported the issue to Coachmen, who provided a brand new system direct from Lippert. However the seller replaced a $4000 Lippert with a $300 offbrand motor, which failed the second time we used it. When we called Coachmen and reported the issue, they got us a brand new system and installed it through a certified mechanic AT NO CHARGE to us. And it was out of warranty when we called! I would not hesitate to buy another Coachmen product. The RV is spacious and comfortable. One tip, only run high-test gas in her. Big difference in responsiveness when on the road and hilly highways.

I bought this travel trailer to live in, it's a piece of junk. Links on both sliders, ceiling fell on first trip. And bed in front room fell to the storage underneath. Jack's fell and now we are stuck with no help or way to fix it. First time buyer and I will not do this again. Everyone said move out and it will take months to get anything with the warranty if any at all. We got no where to go. Never should have done this but we did and now we are stuck. Show less
