Long tory short we liked the Coachman 248RBS layout when we saw it on line. We looked and worked a good deal and actually put a deposit on one and were all set to get it. Went to the dealer to take delivery and found a "big-to me" issue and told the dealer not accepting.SoundGuy wrote:
As a Freedom Express owner myself I'm curious - what was this "big-to you" issue? :@Terryallan wrote:
Agree. I'm looking at a Freedom Express. Would like to know as well.CampinFL wrote:
We were doing the inspection/walk through. They (factory) left a valve open behind a cover plate under the sink and the trailer got a lot of water leaking into the floor, dealer was great about it.. Not their fault, simple mistake that made this one a no-go for me..
Valve? What valve could possibly leak water on to the floor? And how do you know this was a factory error, not a dealer prep error? :h
One left open, was for winterization connected to the water pump and it was behind a panel.Unless it's the factory's practice to leave this valve open (so you can winterize) then I guess bad on the dealer for not checking. (really doesn't matter does it.. I took them at their word, i didn't ask them for their inspection checklist)
That aside, why would the dealer not just get you another unit if this particular one wasn't acceptable to you? :h
I never said they didn't offer to do get me a replacement, simply stated we were looking at other models they had on the lot.
Heck, I've had far more serious issues with my own 2014 Freedom Express than a little water on the floor but wouldn't steer anyone away from one if that's what they really want. Methinks there has to be more to this story than you're telling us. :R
Really not interested in you theory "Methinks there has to be more to this story than you're telling us" Not making issue of what happened or trying to lay blame on anyone.
Sorry to hear you've had ar more serious issues with your Freedom Express and appreciate you replying but really not too much help as no specifics. Maybe what I asked wasn't that clear.. I was asking about the floor construction on the 248RBS vs Apex 250RLS and if anyone owned either the 248RBS or Apex 250RLS, what they liked or disliked and the overall quality.
