Hi All! Been lurking and reading the forum for sometime now. After researching all the options my wife and I decided to go with a 2016 Coachmen 27QBC Class C. We loved our Coachmen bunk house travel trailer so it was a easy choice to go with another Coachmen product. Living in Fairbanks, AK limited my choices when it came time to buy. Ended up buying in WA and driving it back up through Canada. Three day 2487 mile trip! Only mishap was hitting a rabbit in the Yukon that took out part of the front grill and broke a cooler mounting bracket. Easy to repair but a pain none the less.As everyone loves pictures I'll include a few:First camping trip:Glad to find the forum and look forward to communicating with the members here.Mark in Alaska

Mark, Welcome and keep the pictures coming. That's a beautiful set up!

Fielding Lake State Park, AK. Rained all day Friday and Saturday. Didn't get any real fishing done. Arrived home and noticed the passenger side front tire was flat. Changed it out with the spare, going to take it into the tire dealer and see if it can be patched. Hit 5K miles this weekend. Still loving this RV.

Still loving this RV. Had to replace the tire, no local dealer had one in stock so Amazon Prime once again paid for it's self, 2 day air for a new tire!

That was some rabbit, did it have antlers? Every long trip seems to have some glitches, glad it went well in general, especially with a new rig.

Welcome Mark,nice looking rig,and a Chev at that not many of us, Hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Tiled to let the rain run off. Was a very rainy weekend that weekend.

Getting 9.2 MPG on average now. Up from 8.9 before the first oil change.

Still loving this RV. Had some serious rain storms over the weekend and the RV has nice and dry inside. Holding up great so far, almost 7K miles on it in a little over 2 months.

No antlers but my codriver swore it yelled "derka derka mohammad jihad" when it jumped up and took out the front grille and condenser support.

Another Amazon win, they had the air conditioner condensor for $120 shipped. First one arrived broken, they shipped a replacement out the same day and picked up the broken one free of charge.
