Hi Guys, We are considering moving from a fifth wheel to the class C Coachman in the subject line. I would really appreciate any remarks information or advice regarding this RV! We are not new...

I have the 2016 version. I added a few modification that I thought were missing. Curtain tracks to keep the rear bedroom private. I also put a set for the cabover as well so my daughter cold have her privacy. I went back to the factory in Indiana and had them install from swivel chairs. The passenger one is amazing and gives another seat and with the table that is between the driver and passenger, it makes a great work area.
The only thing that is a minus is the size of the bathroom. When we bough it I was a bit larger so using that and the shower were a real PIA. Now that I have lost some weight, it is much easier but still cramped. I think they could have done a better job on this.
My wife and I love it. The kids will not admit it but they do as well. Coachman seem to build a decent product and they use Azdel which is better than plywood
Nothing major wrong with it. The slide motor went out (but that was the motor not the install). Some of the outlet covers have broken and they use those outlets that are a total pain to deal with. Just minor stuff. Everything else are performed as it should. Great storage inside and out
I would recommend it but try out every system. Especially the bathroom. I took it for granted (yes it has a bathroom) and did not try to use it to test it out. I have become wiser in my time since I initially started.
This unit has a common floor plan with other mfg unit this size. We ended up with the Coachman because the sales guy at General RV told me about it after I commented that the Thor Quantum was too nice on the inside and I was afraid to cluck it up
The Hershey show is one stop shopping if you can make it
Good Luck
