  • We have a 2005 DS. It is my favorite Rv so far. I love the way it drives and the large window in the back makes it easier to monitor our toad and backing up. Comfortable ride, has adequate storage but you do need to be selective on what you pack. For my husband however he hates the small shower. Installed extend a shower rod and it did help but the real issue is getting In and out with the step up and placement of the stool. It is a ssafety issue has we get older. At the present time looking around for a different unit. We actually averaged 9.8 mpg on our 3 week trip to the North East.
  • We have a 2011 Coachmen Concord and very happy with it. We purchased it new and had quite a few things that had to be fixed during the first year. Our dealer took great care of us and we have enjoyed using our Concord. Ours is about 33 feet long and has lots of storage. It drives very, very well!

  • I bought a Coachmen Concord (2012) last January and have loved it. I had an issue with the water pump but it was covered with the warranty and has been working great ever since. Mine is 25' which is great for myself and two small dogs. The storage underneath is excellent and it drives very well. I would suggest the booth over the two recliners because of the location of the television. I have put about 6000 miles on it in the past year at campgrounds as well as dry camping at college football games. The generator on my unit has worked great and doesn't burn a lot of gas. Overall, I am very satisfied.

  • I bought a used 2005 Concord last year. Its been a pretty good unit so far. No real issues with it and the wife and I enjoy it. Drives well and setup and takedown time is pretty quick.
  • I have a 2005 Concord 275DL and it works well (space wise) for the two of us. Only one major issue so far. The fridge went bad early on but was covered under an extended warranty I had purchased. Replaced the tires after 7 years (with lots of checking showing on the original Michelans). We pull a small toad and really don't have problems, even on the hills. Like any "C", storage is tight unless you selectively pick the items you actually need and neatly store it away. Our longest trip at any one time has only been 2 weeks but good planning helps alleviate problems with storage (inside or out). I don't regret my purchase at all, so far.
  • We traveled to Alaska this past summer, us in our 2004 R-vision 213 and good friends in a year old 24' Concord. When we got to Whitehorse YT on the Alaska Highway, he spent a day doing repairs. He removed the headliner and replaced all the screws attaching the steel roof cutaway to the floor of his cab-over entertainment center with a size larger and longer. It had separated enough to see daylight and let water infiltrate the cab, after that change I don't believe he had any problems on the rest of our trip.
  • I bought a new 2004. We put 47k miles on the odometer in four years. Only complaint was the jacknive sofa. I replace it with a bed. The result was good for sleeping but bad for sitting. Our travel needs changed and we got a larger MH (35'). The Concord is great for traveling not so hot for camping.
