Coachmen Santara reviews

We've been living full-time in this RV or nearly 5 years drive abilities great it's an air ride Diesel Pusher lifetime engine is what they call this because it's a Cummins and it is a 5.9 turbo Diesel it has a Allison transmission 7,000 watt Onan generator provides everything we need we just have to find the place to put it the tires for this are are very good that truck tires and very inexpensive about $200 each livability it's terrific put a lot of money into it but we have now decided to give up the lifestyle but I would caution people when buying RVs .. if you find a 25-year-old RV I would seriously look at it if this has low mileage I would seriously not consider it consider 25-year-old class a RV with a diesel engine so if it only has say 20,000 or $30,000 miles then it's been sitting idle the worst thing that can happen to a diesel engine or back than any other engine is it for to sit idle so be very careful when you're looking for this we have a 20 1997 it has 100,000 miles that's barely breaking for this engine and the things you don't like well of course the unexpected breakdowns and that's going to happen with any RV no matter what what you do is you sit there and you can usually get it fixed the next day Show less

This is our first RV we have owned and we love it! Problem free except for normal maintenance. We have taken this trailer all over the US and have been able to rely on its strong build quality. It is a great trailer to take on the road. Show less

I totally agree with the review from Gloria, have owned multiply rv's and this one is the worse one ever, floor plan is horrible, no drawers, no counter space, cupboards doors knock you in the head every time you use them because of having no lathes to hold open, stabilization is horrible, can feel the dog (20 lbs) walking on the floor, bedroom window is a pull open or closed only and has to be open all the way or closed all the way, I think the design of this trailer must be from a man who didn't know what they were doing. ....trailer is maintained every 6 months and used very lightly each year due to using it at a lake for the summer, only gets moved about 10 miles each year, and it is staring to fall apart, license plate holder broke, rod to open and close blinds broke, hot water faucet in the kitchen fell off yesterday. Will be looking for a new trailer this winter and it will not be a Coachmen Show less

This RV has been a trooper for us! The trips we took in it where safe and I never felt like we would ever get stuck some where on the side of the road which is defiantly important with a family of 6. It has a super strong engine which important when your towing your SUV behind you. We have enjoyed our time with our RV lots of family adventures! The inside is almost new we have kept up on making sure it stayed in almost new condition. The original carpet is still covered in plastic and we put another carpet on top to keep it in good or new condition. This RV is more than worth the price I am asking. Show less

The Class C was the best choice for us. Maintenance and parts are inexpensive as compared to the ClassA. Three exit doors provides a sense of security. Driveability feels comfortable and firm. The 32 foot length was enough space to be comfortable. The Deluxe features such as the table and 4 chairs gave us a cozy feeling and dining experience. Show less

Very nice floor plan and generally a great coach. Lots of extra features on this entry level coach. Washer dryer, two door refrig. With ice maker, dual pane windows, very easy to drive no special license required. Show less

This is my rv. I love it, the floor plan is perfect for just 2 or a family of 5. The bedroom is spacious for all you need. The kitchen is amazing and I love cooking in it. Living quarters are nice in the front of the mh. Plenty of room. Everything works well. It is clean,neat and in perfect condition. We are campers of all seasons and are still enjoying this on weekends and vacations. It is a good buy. Show less

We purchased a Santara new for its unique floor plan and the Coachman Santara reputation. We've enjoyed it thoroughly and are upsizing soon. Show less

This has been the most trouble-free motorhome I have owned (out of 7 total). The Cummins engine and Freightliner chassis with the Allison transmission all work together to make a fine unit. The only reason I would ever sell it would be because I am too old to continue rving. Show less

We have enjoyed very much wintering in this motorhome it is very roomy and comfortable. Show less
