Coachman Chaparral

[maps]

My father is looking at purchasing a Coachman Chaparral 5th wheel. Does any one have any feedback about this manufacturer and things to watch for.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

I traded a 276rls last August. Just time to move up although I really liked it. I too think its mid line although sometimes the price doesn't reflect it. Coachmen always bring more money at local dealers new, or at least ask it.
Deal aggressively it you really want it.

Is he looking at brand new or a used unit? If used, what year and model?

I have the Chaparral shown in my signature. Never had any problems with it. Good value for the money.

We have had our 2010 322RLTS for just under a year now and have been pleased with it, no major issues. I personally think they are great "bang for the buck" models.

Have 2011 271BHS used 2 full seasons for Horse Show support primarily. Load it up more stuff than you can imagine for that activity. Beat the******out of it in all kinds of off-road stuff. Not problem one so far. 3rd season starts in 2 weeks with an all out run to Florida (2 horse trailers(10 horses), 3 RVs and equipment trailer), Yea Haw!!!

It's not a high end RV, more mid line. But so far great value for the money.

We have a 2011 267rls and have used it for two full seasons now and have not had any major problems. The air bed on the sofa does not hold air but I don't think that has anything to do with Chaparral. We did not have great tv reception and the dealer tracked down the problem to be a staple thru the coax cable. This was fixed right away and all is good. We love the layout with all the windows. Can't wait to go camping in May again!

I have a 2012 269BHS. Bought it a year ago last Oct. We have not had one problem with it. Camped 19 times in it last summer, and 3 times the previous fall some 4 and 5 day trips the rest were 2 and 3 day weekends. The only thing I had to do to it was tighten the faucet pex fittings under the sinks.

We just purchased a Chaparral Signature 327RLKS. We'll let you know, but we feel we received good value for what we spent.
