freedom express 242rbs

We had a fifth wheel previously to purchacing this coachman trailer. I have ALS and couldn't get up and down the stairs so we decided to get a smaller travel trailer. we looked around and looked at many trailrs. we seen this one and liked the layout because it still had a couch and a dinnet. It ...had a corner shouwer to get into. it does have good features. we ended up buying it and then when we started going camping we found out that it was not the trailer for us. we have had many issues with it from day one. they give you one year to get the things fixed that go wrong within that first year. we purchased it 1/31/11 took it camping in april and found that the front faceframe on the kitchen base cabinet was not totaly attached so it was falling off. the front of the couch was falling off because it wasn't attached on one end. Our converter went out just before we took a trip to yellowstone in september. the front fiberglass underneath the decal started making a bubble because it was pealing away from the frame. the linoleum was lifing up around the toilet, when we first got it my husband was trying the slide out (which has the kitchen on the slide) andwhen he was pulling it back in one of the lowere cabinet doors came open and slid across the linoleum and made scuff marks so it ruined the linolium right in front of the sink. we camped until first of october and let every thing that went wrong wait until we were done camping. we winterized it and took it up to the dealership so they could fix it and they have had it ever since. we still do not have it back because it has taken so long for the company to get the parts back to the dealership so they can fix it. we have na rv pad at our house but it has not been here, it is like they are storing it for us for the winter. and then they still cant gaurentee that the front will not peel away again, and if it does then it will be our responsibility to fix it. if it was up to me i think the company should take the trailer back and let us find a new one. no the same unit. but that is my oppinion.

Freedom Express Simply Awesome

We recently purchased a Freedom Express 242 RBS, and after looking at many RV trailers,this was the one that had all the features my wife and myself was looking for, and then some. It pulls with ease in our Chevy Tahoe, and it has so many great features built in, when you get to your site, your read...y to relax in minutes. Foul weather? NO problem, sit on the couch and watch a DVD or regular TV. Dinette has plenty of room. Bed is comfortable, plenty of interior lights. After going through this trailer enjoying all the great built in options, you can slide out the grill and grill supper. We are going to have so much fun with this trailer, we can't wait!
