We lived in this RV in this for over a year. While it did have a few plumbing problems as with all new RVs. The Warranty covered it perfectly other than that it was a great trailer to live in. Towing is not a problem as long as you have a powerful enough truck. It had enough room for my daughter and her five children to stay in comfortably. Overall, I think this is a great RV trailer!

Overall a decently designed destination trailer. Though classified as a bunkhouse model, it came equipped with a second queen size bedroom in the rear - so perfect for a couple with two girls or two boys. We bought and lived in it in FL for two months then moved it to Upstate NY and lived in it for four months over the last 9 months. During that time we've had several quality and build issues starting with sawdust and wood chunks packed into the furnace cabinet causing the furnace to "smoke" and repeatedly shutdown the furnace when it was fired up for the first time. That first contact with "customer support" did not go well. Response to terrible. No apology for the lazy cleanup crew. No assurance that they'd communicate back to manufacturing so as to assure this would not happen for other customers. We paid an RV service tech to look at the furnace when he discovered it was packed with sawdust chips. Next issue was a faulty backflow preventer valve in the bathroom cabinet flooding the cabinet and floor with water. Again, the same none response from Coachmen Catalina customer support. By then we were in the Adirondack Park, 100 miles from the nearest authorized repair place. Customer support informed me that I had to tow the 40 ft destination trailer to that repair center to replace the valve. NOPE! I bought a valve and replaced it myself. The third, and major failure with the CHEAP GE AC unit, which was not cooling at all. Again, customer support said to tow 100 miles and leave it (for what could be months) to replace the bad unit - or I could use a mobile RV tech some 60 miles away to come out and replace the unit. OK? The quote for that option was $2600 (I could buy a CHEAP GE AC replacement for $700). That came to $1900 in travel, time, and materials (most of which was not covered by Coachmen "warranty" repairs). The fourth major problem was a leak coming from the ceiling inside the kitchen cabinet. I sourced it to water running off the side of the gutter and up under it. Up under the gutter wasn't sealed. Heavy rain pouring off the roof caused the water to lap up under the gutter and flowed directly into the side of the roof. Sealing this huge gap under the gutter solved the problem.

Love the floor plan. The issue is we just bought our camper two weeks ago, took it out for the very first time and the refrigerator quit completely. ( Furrion Refrigerator) Tried everything to see if it was a relay or something else. Here all the coolant leaked out. Until Coachmen uses a different product, I'd stay away from them, after reading all of the refrigerator issues they have on line. Don't buy one with that model of fridge in it.

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.

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!

Frame and suspension had ten years worth of rust when it was three months old. Treated it with phosphoric acid and POR-15. Cabinet doors popped open by themselves on the Interstate and ended up on the floor due to the cheap catches and hinges. Upgraded the hinges and added latches. Rear blind fell off (the heavy wood valance was held on by just 2 #6 screws put into nothing but the wallboard). Screwed them back in to the metal window frame. Couch broke free while driving on the Interstate. Rear cabinet bottom coming apart, had to add brackets. Cabinet over the sink started to fall apart, had to add brackets. 12v battery terminal nuts run only halfway down on the studs (not even finger tight). Bad ground on the bathroom vent fan. Condensation in running lights. Easily breakable refrigerator door handles. Cheap staples holding bed box panel on. Water heater electric element burned out on delivery. Water pump running continuously, pump replaced. Wall outlet covers falling off. Dome light covers falling off. The 12v battery doesn't have much storage, on off-grid night four the heater and refrigerator stopped working because there wasn't enough voltage (my site was ~50% shaded and the solar panel is only 100 watts). I replaced it with a couple of 6v golf cart units in series, and am planning a major upgrade to the solar capacity. In the meantime I bring a generator to boondock.

This is our first ever camper experience. We bought this 2022 Coachmen Legacy 283 in May 2023 brand new from A & L RV Sales in Richmond VA. We were tickled pink with it. We've never taken the thing out of the yard. Then May 2024 we lost our ac in the house. As of today, June 23rd 2024 we're living in the camper in our backyard. This is a nice sized camper to spend a weekend or maybe a week in. Sleeping in it daily and living in it daily it's not so great. Keeping up with the black tank level and the grey tank level is a chore. And holy moly it gets H O T . The AC runs constantly. Sure, we're parked where we have shade for a few hours in the morning, but between noon and dark, it's just about unlivable. We have nothing to compare to, so I don't know if other campers are more insulated or even insulated at all. But we manage. The kitchen is nice. Again, not really enough storage space for long term living, but then again, it makes you realize what's important and what's not. I'm fairly tall and it's all I can do to reach the back of the pantry. It's really deep so find you a step stool. Then find a place to store it. The kitchen table and bench seats are perfect for my skinny husband. He slides in and out just fine. My wide hips do better in the recliner. Which is very comfortable, as is the sleeper couch. That's comfy too, the couch made in a bed. Speaking of beds. We have a king size mattress in a queen sized room. My husband has a bad back and watching him crawl into bed is hard. It's worse getting up in the middle of the night to pee. ** I think the worst thing about this camper is how the bed is made. The mattress is on a piece of plywood and the plywood has UNFINISHED edges all around it. Sure, we could sand them down and round them off, but why should the customer have to do something like that ?! It looks like that was overlooked during assembly. ** The bathroom is nice. Haven't used the shower yet (we go in the house for that. Hot as hell, but better than using up all our water in the camper ). My husband says pulling the camper with our 2002 Ford F350 Super Duty is a breeze. Hooking up to the truck is easy. Overall, again having nothing to compare to, I'd say this is an okay camper. It's not perfect, but I'm sure there is not a perfect camper. I'll give this one about a B+. Happy camping everyone !! Be safe.

I had it delivered 20 miles away to an RV Park & other than the large red tail light lenses dangling off their frames on strings of silicone, because they were Never screwed in, upon arrival, I have not had any other problems, which I think is due to the fact that I have never towed it Anywhere & that I have Never used the shower, sinks, stove or holding tanks, primarily because I am convinced that if I, actually, use it for how it was intended, that I will discover just how Poorly it was really built & have Many More Problems !!!

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.
