New Buyer, This is not fun

I've read enough and heard enough about peoples problems with their rigs, I feel very fortunate. My Coachman Ultralite has been so trouble free I'd be afraid to buy a another rig. In 13 years I've owned mine (15 year old) I've had a frig, a wheel brging, a frig vent, tires, and a fender need replaced. I just took out the carpet and put down vinyl flooring this winter. Does Coachman still have the same quality?

We have the Coachmen listed in signature. We bought it brand new in April 2013 and have had no major issues with it. We tightened a few screws here and there after and during first trip and had to fix the rubber trim that came loose around the front cap but that is it. I called Coachmen about the trim because the dealer said they couldn't get to it for 6 weeks and that I would void warranty if I tried to fix myself. Coachmen assured me that it was ok for me to fix and even told me what to use and how to do it. We love our FW and are very happy with the purchase. I have read many negatives about the Coachmen brand on here and so far, I have been given no reason to agree with them. We feel we made the right purchase for our needs in our price point. If we were fulltimers, we would have probably chose differently but as vacationers...this is perfect for us.

To the OP - Minor issues are common with any new RV and you should not let that ruin your camping experience. If you are having major issues, stay after the dealer and/or the manufacturer. As consumers, we expect what we pay hard earned money for should be flawless and we tend to want refund if not. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like items you purchase at Walmart. Vehicles, RV's, boats etc can not just be taken back for refund. There is process to the lemon law to get things done. It's a headache and time consuming but if you don't follow process, you will never be satisfied and be stuck with a lemon.
