Question I’m new to this but for some reason have always liked Coachman.

How reliable & and what kind of quality do you find Coachman Class C?

Well where do I start. All RVs will have issues. Quality is not a big part of production any where. My opinion. We bought Coachman because of the Concord, we liked the design and love the ts (triple slide).

We bought in December of 2020 picked up in January’21. We talked about buying during the pandemic. Turned out to be an issue. A trip to the factory last year and almost three years into this and we have the bugs worked out.
On this trip the intelltitec controller for the slides had an issue. One side for the main slide went out. Not a big issue able to get the part and replaced quick.
The pandemic produced poor craftsmanship due to lack of workers in the parts that went into these rigs as well as RV production. The Concord line was shut down. It was redesigned with some quality changes with the 2023 model this year. A price increase as well. Slide issues have been our biggest problem. I think all have been worked on in some way.

Yes over all I think Coachmen is quality but understand we are going to have problems with any of them. It’s like the rigs go through an earthquake every trip.

Good luck in your search and welcome to the group.

We have a 2007 Coachman Encore 40 TS diesel pusher. I bought it use 6 years ago with 47000 miles on it. WE loved the layout and the size at 40' long. We now have close to 90000 miles on it and have had only a few problems mostly were wear items: the clutch fan went out on the engine, the fridge went I out I switched to resi fridge, I did find one big quality problem and that was when they set the body on the chassis they smashed a power cable between body and chassis. This week the power steering cable blew. May seem like a lot but not really. After all it is a house rolling down the road. Bottom line I would buy another coachman. All brands have all sorts of issues. You just don't hear from the "Happy Campers"

Just bought a Brand New Coachman CrossTrail 20xg Extreme. Have only ~300miles on it from the Dealer to the driveway. Two weeks now, and Working through some issues that truly should not be happening for a Motorhome that ForrestRiver Claims should sell for 183K. I plan to place a "Purchasing Report Post" here in the Forums in the near future, Largely waiting for responses from the RV Dealer & ForrestRiver. I'll Leave my report now with, there were relative quality issues I was aware of that I accepted , eyes wide open,, but others with "inspection on arrival in the driveway" I'm at best not to pleased with.

I hate to hear that. We had issues with our Concord in 2021. We did go back to Coachman last year and they took care of several things. Best of luck.
