coachmen freedom express 192rbs
Anyone have one? What do you like and dislike? Would you buy it again? How do you use it and what do you tow it with? I think we've narrowed it down to this unit...it's big enough for the 2 of...

My 233RBS has those same wimpy supports. I am going to upgrade mine to be heavier.
Shortly after we purchased our 2014 Freedom Express 192RBS my dealer, at my request, installed these heavy steel support braces under the fresh water tank and as shown in this pic they're still perfectly straight after 5 seasons of use, haven't bent at all, so obviously support the weight of a full tank just fine. :B
I'd do the same with a new 2017 or 2018 Freedom Express as there's no way those factory supports are at all sufficient. :M
FWIW, my dealer whom I know quite well mentioned that on his most recent factory tour he noticed that fresh water tanks being installed these days now have even much thinner walls than used to be the case, no doubt to control costs and reduce weight. While these tanks do still serve the purpose the downside is they'll sag noticeably when filled with water if not properly supported and although I don't know this for a fact I suspect this is a much more common problem across the entire RV industry than just with the Coachmen Freedom Express line. Unfortunate to say but if we were in the market for a new camper I'd be looking at fresh water tank support, or lack thereof, very carefully regardless of the brand of trailer. :(
