Anybody recently purchase a new Coachmen Freelander 21qb?

Curious if anybody that has recently purchased a new Coachmen Freelander 21QB (chevy chassis) class c would be willing to share what kind of a deal ($$) they were able to get on it.

Pretty sure we are going to proceed with the purchase of a new one, and was wondering what the bottom line deal seems to be these days.

Personnal messages are fine if you don't want to discuss on the open forum.

Appreciate any help. Looks like our search may be nearing an end finally.

And yes, I agree that a good used unit would have been better financially, but every time we found a great used unit it slipped through our hands for various reasons, and we are now out of time if we are going to proceed with this.
  • Pricing depends on the dealership. When purchasing a vehicle you need to research and price compare from different dealerships. One size does not fit all. A high volume dealer is where to go and fly there if you have to. Going into a dealership whether car plane or rv you really need solid facts and figures. Go online, type your idea in ad see what it is across the country. Then go into your friendly dealer with some price comparisons. Extended warranties ,for me, are a waste of thousands of dollars. Bank your money and pay yourself, you will be so much farther ahead, yes it only adds X dollars to the payment but read about warranties before you buy, too many loopholes, too many.

    I love buying cars, just bought grand daughter one and drove off with a deal that beat all the advertised car buying tips.
  • You get a lot for the price paid brand new.

    It seems a bit deceiving to call it a 21QB (21 foot with a rear corner queen bed) when it measures just about 24 feet long. They should have called it a 24QB. :)

    Of coarse with that type of house construction, you need to be very disciplined inspecting the seam work after every trip, and before extended uncovered/unprotected storage.
  • We've had our eyes on one too. General RV has one listed for $53500. My research has shown them to be in the middle 50's. Going to look at Hershey next month. Would like one a little bigger but the payload goes way down with length. Gary
