American Coach: 2008 American Tradition 42F

[aknavy]

Found one of these that I may be interested in. It has heated tile, dual leveling, and seems to have pretty much every option available.


I have not been inside one as of yet - how "liveable" are they? Is everything accessible with the slides in - kitchen, bath, fridge, bed?


Anybody have the length of the couch on the driver side?


Is there anything under the passenger side couch, other than furnace ducting?

If you do an on line search, you should be able to find a brochure for that make and model. You'll find most American Coaches, especially the Tradition and higher, come with "every option available."

On edit, I just found this, give it a try: https://www.americancoach.com/rv-owners-manuals

I have a 2008 42V. Not the same, but have been full time since 2015.

You want the brochure, not the owner manual, so you can see the floorplan. Try this:

The 42F is a full wall slide layout and those tend to have limited accessibility when the slides are in. The rear bath and bedroom are probably inaccessible but the mid bath may be usable. Kitchen and dining table probably ok, but looks like the fridge could be problematic.


Not sure what your expectation might be, but you aren't going to camp overnight in this coach with slides in. Or even spend an afternoon. Might be ok for a lunch stop in a rest area, but that's about it. We had a Tradition 40V (triple slide) and could use toilet, get things from fridge and sit at the dining table, but that was about it. Quite acceptable for a rest stop or lunch break, but we opened slides for anything else.
