Structure · reported Aug 22, 2020
The rv sags at the mid point half way between the spring mounts. It is very evident as a crease in the floor of the rv when walking by all appearances the frame bent. I have been given to understand that these rv class is prone to this due to braces missing from the frames
Suspension · at 400 miles · reported May 16, 2017
On 9-3-15 the front axle perchs/shackle brackets broke while driving, costing $421.42 in repairs. On 5-5-17 the rear axle perchs/shackle brackets broke while driving down the road, causing the axle to fall onto the ground and rupturing the propane line. The shackle repair cost $158.00 in repairs. The propane line is scheduled to be fixed on 6-5-17. The cause is obviously poor/faulty welding and/or frame design by the coachman trailer company.
