I have a 2008 Georgie Boy Maverick 213qb on the Chev chassis, which was made by Coachmen (as was the Freedom Express) and is pretty well identical to yours, and to the Freelander 2130qb. We just bought it this fall and we are liking it-and the outdoor storage makes it one of the few small class C's that fit our criteria of having enough room for a Weber Q, lawn chairs, etc and 2 sets of golf clubs. That and the 60" by 80" bed are winners!

The only complaint we had is the u-shaped dinette seemed pretty low relative to the window. When we were sitting at the table, it felt like we could only see sky. I cut some 2 1/2" rigid foam board insulation to fit under the cushions and it is much more comfortable now. I found some duct tape in a colour that goes well with the upholstery to cover the edges of the pink foam board, so this mod is hardly noticeable.

Another thing that I was not crazy about was that the shower hose was hooked up to the bathroom sink faucet. I installed a new faucet, without the diverter, on the sink and tee'd the water lines to the bathtub, where I put the original faucet with diverter, the way it should have been in the first place.

My current project is installing a back up camera. The next mod will be installing 3 pull-out drawers under the sink. After that, I think I`ll try to find a way of insulating the Onan generator so it is not so noisy inside and out. And, maybe add some solar in the future. And, figure out a sliding table system so the table can be slid closer to the wall for more stand up room. I know, the list goes on...

Both the wife and I really like driving this thing, it is the perfect size for us and the cat, and the gas mileage is a bit better than we expected. It is a low mileage unit that was babied by the previous owner. Although not fancy, it does seem to be reasonably well built, and I agree that it is well-engineered to fit so much in a small class C.

I did away with the shower hot water hose at the sink and rerouted a new hot water supply thru the shower side of the Sink Stand with small Ball Valve. Works good and delivers more pressure now.

I filled up the cavity that's under the dinette seat with batt insulation, as the Generator is hung right below that and its a tad quieter. I also used insulating boards on all sides of the Generator except the front and cut holes for the exhaust , oil change plug, etc...

Glad you like yours. I think its a well designed Rig .
