Coachmen Freedom Express Travel Trailers
Are these trailers good, okay, or to be run from? I found a floor plan that I really like, a used 2018 204RD or a new 2021 20SE which is the same as the 204RD except it has some items stripped out ...

We have a 2017 Freedom Express 192 RBS that has gone over 46,000 miles. This is our 1st TT and our very first trip was from Denver, CO. to San Diego, CA. to Fairbanks, AK. and home. The only problems were operator error. The TT had been winterized and forgot to turn the valves for the water pump and the water heater. We had a very trim pieces rattle loose, but no major problems.
Having said this, we did bend the rear axle, due to really bed secondary roads in New England and Prince Edward Island. Also, on another trip we broke the right spring while I was turning over an extreme grade break putting most of the TT weight on the right rear tire. I attribute these to my traveling on the roads less traveled rather than the TT.
Maintenance wise, we re-pack the wheel bearings every winter, and keep an eye on the caulking and loose screws. The exterior seems well built and the interior cabinets are well built and secure to the walls.
IMHO, the Freedom Express TT's appear to be a step or two above the usual Forest River products.
