The brand

Why buyers love Coachmen

Coachmen has been building recreational vehicles since 1964 and is one of the most recognizable value names in the industry. Since 2008 it has been a division of Forest River, the Berkshire Hathaway-owned giant, and today builds out of Middlebury, Indiana. The lineup is genuinely broad and spans every class: gas Class A coaches (Mirada, Pursuit) and the diesel Encore; a deep bench of Class B camper vans on Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit, and Mercedes Sprinter platforms (Beyond, Galleria, Nova); gas Class C motorhomes (Leprechaun, Freelander, Concord, Prism); and a full towable range of travel trailers (Catalina, Apex, Freedom Express, Northern Spirit) plus Chaparral and Brookstone fifth wheels. The appeal is price and selection — Coachmen consistently undercuts pricier rivals and offers a layout for nearly every buyer. Across roughly 838 owner reviews on RV Insider the brand averages about 3.8 out of 5 — right around the RV-industry norm, a notch below Winnebago — with owners rating floor plans (4.4) and drivability (4.3) highly but flagging overall build quality (3.5) and especially factory warranty (3.0) as weak spots. Like every volume maker, Coachmen leans on the same Lippert, Dometic, Furrion, and Norco components everyone uses, so the usual slide, appliance, plumbing, seal, and cabinet-hardware gremlins show up in owner reports. Below is a current cross-class lineup with real specs, real floor plans, and an honest read on what owners praise and what they warn about — so you can shop a Coachmen for sale knowing exactly what you are getting.

Here's the part the lot won't tell you: the best Coachmen deals are usually two to four years old. Let the first owner eat the steep early depreciation, then buy a RV that's already been shaken down, with the bugs sorted and the records to prove it. That's exactly the kind of unit our RV buyer's agents hunt for, and we run an independent inspection on every one before you wire a dollar. Already own one and ready to move on? We'll list and sell it through our RV broker service for the retail number it's worth — not the wholesale gutting a dealer offers on trade.

What owners love

  • Aggressive value pricing across every class. Coachmen consistently undercuts Winnebago, Thor, and other rivals, making it one of the cheapest ways into a given size of motorhome or trailer — a big reason it sells in such volume.
  • Strong floor plans and a layout for everyone. The floor-plan sub-score (4.4) is the brand's highest mark on RV Insider, and the lineup spans compact half-ton-towable trailers, family bunkhouses, camper vans on three different chassis, gas and diesel motorhomes, and fifth wheels.
  • Deep used supply and easy parts. As a long-running, high-volume Forest River brand using industry-standard components, Coachmen rigs are plentiful on the used market and serviceable at almost any RV shop.

What to watch

  • Build quality and warranty are the brand's weak spots. The overall-quality (3.5) and especially factory-warranty (3.0) sub-scores on RV Insider trail the leaders, and owner reports of cabinet hardware, slide, appliance, and water-intrusion issues are common — inspect any unit hard and budget for self-advocacy.
  • Volume-production fit and finish. Value pricing shows up in the materials and assembly; owners frequently mention loose trim, popped cabinet catches, and break-in defects, so a thorough pre-delivery and used inspection matters more here than on a premium brand.
  • Service support varies by dealer. Like most Forest River brands, warranty and after-sale service quality depends heavily on the selling dealer, and owners report that getting issues resolved promptly can be a struggle once they hit the road.
From real owners

What Coachmen owners are saying

Across roughly 838 owner reviews on RV Insider, Coachmen averages about 3.8 out of 5 — right around the RV-industry norm and a notch below Winnebago's ~4.1. Owners rate floor plans highest (4.4), with driving/towing (4.3) and livability (4.1) close behind, but overall quality (3.5) and especially factory warranty (3.0) are the clear weak spots, matching the common owner story: buyers like the value, the layouts, and the selection, but a meaningful share report cabinet, slide, appliance, and water-intrusion issues and frustrating warranty service. By model, the Leprechaun Class C rates about 3.9 over roughly 76 reviews, the Mirada Class A sits at about 3.8 over ~66 reviews, the Catalina travel trailer about 3.6 over ~33 reviews, and the Apex about 3.7 over ~26 reviews — all clustered near the brand average. Coachmen RV is profiled by the Better Business Bureau as a division of Forest River, Inc.; as with most RV makers, customer-submitted reviews skew low.

“These units appear to hold up very well. Mirada 350S has all the features of the more expensive models.”
Gary R, FLRV Insider — Coachmen
“We love everything about this trailer (great family memories). We love the high-end kitchen and private front bedroom.”
Adam G., KSRV Insider — Coachmen
“My husband and I have loved traveling the country in this comfortable home on wheels.”
Linda, MIRV Insider — Coachmen
“On our first trip the cabinet doors popped open by themselves on the interstate and ended up on the floor due to the cheap catches and hinges.”
Tom P., MIRV Insider — Coachmen
“This is obviously a design flaw — an RV frame should never fail after only 8 years.”
Frank Pastulovic, BCRV Insider — Coachmen
“Poor craftsmanship — all my cabinets are pilling, counter tops pilling, walls, awning breaking, sliding breaking, gas leaking.”
Chris Zaha, AZRV Insider — Coachmen

Questions

Coachmen — buyer FAQs

How much does a Coachmen RVs cost?
It spans a wide range. A used Apex Nano travel trailer can start in the teens, while a new Leprechaun Class C runs into the $130,000s and a diesel Encore or a loaded Chaparral fifth wheel climbs higher still — so the range spans first-time towables up to a diesel motorhome, with Coachmen positioned as a value-priced, volume builder rather than a premium brand. Each model page below lists a typical resale range, and we'll get you an exact number on any specific RV for sale.
Is Coachmen a good brand?
Aggressive value pricing across every class. Coachmen consistently undercuts Winnebago, Thor, and other rivals, making it one of the cheapest ways into a given size of motorhome or trailer — a big reason it sells in such volume.
Where are Coachmen RVs built?
In Middlebury, Indiana, where the company has been since 1964. That matters because the factory service center is a big part of why owners stay loyal.
Should I get a used Coachmen inspected before buying?
Always. A used RV can hide deferred maintenance on the roof, slides, and levelers. Our independent RV inspectors check it before any money moves, and a buyer's agent turns what they find into leverage on price.
