Coachmen Pursuit (Feed Back Please)
We are looking at the Coachmen Pursuit 27k and wanted to get some feed back on Coachmen since Forest River bought them in 2008. If you bought a Coachmen since 2008 how is the reliability and customer...

To any Coachmen Pursuit owners.
We just bought a new 2014 model and finding that there is very little information out here for it.
To consumeratlarge, if you are still out there, would like an update from you as well.
I felt the same way in that the necessities are all there, auto levelers, a good frame and engine. Just understand that you are the beta tester.
Our punchlist included:
-frig would not cool down to 40 degrees until 48 hours passed. Freezer was fine. That is on frig manufacturerI guess.
-dining table latching would not secure the table. screws were stripped out. (could have happened from RV events)
-the sewer line hole in the bottom of the storage space was too close and about 2" offset. NO way to connect the line thru the hole. Of course I ran it out the door on this test run.
-front privacy curtain backings had rotted into fine threads. poor quality for sure.
Like others, I plan to do most of my own upkeep but these things listed, I am going to let the dealer deal with them for now.
Overall, very pleased with the unit as a whole. These are small things that are temporary. As for the price, NADA says trade in value is worth 25k more than what we paid for it. I know that I cannot sell it for that as they still have more at the same price we paid but it did cross my mind to trade up or down. Just kidding. We are pleased with it and hope other owners will respond back with other things to look for.
