Six weeks later, and one trip back to the dealer we are finally ready to get on the road.

We've done a ton of work to get our new motorhome ready for fun and booked our shakedown cruise for the end of May.

Stephen F. Austin State Park, TX

Stuff we've been working on:

• Window valances recovered
  • 
    • Because Mrs Boss couldn't stand the stock ones.
• Camping gear
• Outdoor kitchen
• Pots, pans, and other kitchen stuff
• Maxxair vent covers and fans. Brand new unit was leaking from the vents.
• Cargo bay custom divider and load control
• Real mattress instead of the inquisition special it came with
• 200 watts of BougeRV CIGS panel solar with 100 ah LiFePo4 battery
  • Plenty for our weekend adventures
• Fresh and sanitary water "kits"
• Fishing rod holders
• Organize, organize, organize, watch the videos.

It's been a process of attention to detail. All systems tested and ready to go.

Looks a lot like the Forester we had, enjoy.

That's the exact make and model I am considering buying for myself.

Tell me, what have you noticed about it now... that you didn't know until you bought it, good and bad?

We like pretty much everything about it. It just works for our situation. Overall very pleased. Runs and handles well. Keep it around 65 and getting a little over 9 mpg.

It's not been without it's trials. Working out the kinks so to speak.

I'm surprised to read some even though they bought new have experience defects amongst other problems that occurred after they brought it home...

Humm! After all, it's not a pocket watch!

 

[John&Andrea]

Oh there will be problems

Oh there will be problems

What's typical with new ones no matter the brand or model?

An RV dealer in Alvarado, Texas today told me the 2024 East To West Entrada 2700 NS is identical to the Coachmen Freelander 27QB and is supposably cheaper.

 

[John&Andrea]

I can only say the problems we have had.
There will be trim issues inside. Our closet racks had to be reinforced, both sides.
All our slides have been worked on including the H bridge controlling all slides.
One slide came off track.
Had a wiring harness come lose on the chassis (Ford issue). Fortunately I know a guy at a local dealership and fixed quick.

I still have one leveler driver side rear that was installed too far back. I knocked the pad off a couple of times. I plan to change this.
All in all we seem to be good the last two years. 4400 miles in March no issues no issues last year. Out on a 2 week trip now.

I should not say this I may jinks us but all appliances have worked flawless.

All will have issues and things will go wrong. Just sayin.

I will say most trim issues I repaired myself.

You need to spend time with your prospect. Much like you did when you were dating! They, like anything else, can seem like hiring a teenager who is on their first job! To a highly qualified journeyman! Or something in-between.

If you want her to fall apart, then look at who she grew up with, for the whole story!!!

What did you have to take it back to the dealer for?

 

[Dispatch]

I was just quoted a price 'out-the-door' from an RV dealer 2 hours away from me on a new, 2024 Coachmen Freelander 27QB:

Any thoughts or suggestions?

 

[John&Andrea]

If it’s what you want and you’re happy with the price. Go for it.

 

[Kevin D Pem]

Yeah but is that a good price? View attachment 24837

A good price has always been " are you happy with the deal!"

 

[Kevin D Pem]

Ah, but does it come with a free glass of wine? View attachment 24840

Only if we are talking about free cash after the purchase! They sell box wine,you know?

I grew up hearing a good deal was when both parties walk away Happy! In today's market I would modify that from walk away,to maybe are happy with the passing if Three months!!!
