Coachmen: Coachmen 'Orphans'

[robbiedeleur]

I can appreciate the Orphan feeling. As a Georgie Boy owner, we have been shuffled round as well from company to company. I'm trying to find the Georgie Boy place in this forum. Is this where we go?

To Joby1: Mine has a street side bathroom (SB) with a shower across the "hall" from it; you can latch both doors open to combine the shower with the bathroom. We have a "master" bedroom in the back but it has split beds rather than one big bed; we DON'T like that feature but it's more comfortable than either of our other two "fold outs" (dinette and couch) and the over-the-cab bed doesn't have room for two adults. I imagine the front of our coaches are pretty much the same.

To robbiedeleur: This is my first and only motor home and have no idea if there's a separate Forum for your coach. I pretty much have my hands full with what I've got but someone here should be able to help. I found a lot of info on my coach with a Google search; try that.

I attached two pics here of my beast. The side bathroom on my beast has the sink and shower together in the same room. across from it is a closet that houses the gas furnace and a central vacuum system. the back master bedroom has two twins, and i took out the nightstand between them. i noticed there is a corrugated water supply hose that has been leaking slightly, probably for quite some time. i need to drain that and replace it soon. i tore out all the carpet and removed all the old window coverings. i see a lot of milder and mold here and there, but i am going through and priming/painting over a lot of the paneling. i'm determined to make this look nice inside! the outside may get a paint job too, haven't decided yet on that, but my neighbor swears he's done it twice with Rustoleum paint (in the gallon) and it's come out looking really nice...so i may have to try it. i got the generator running, but it needs a tune up bad...i'll get some pics of the inside once it looks a bit better...

You've got an original SportsCoach as opposed to my Coachmen orphan. I just don't understand why I see coaches looking like yours that are newer than mine?!?!? It looks like TWO DIFFERENT companies were making these at the same time!!

A spring picture showing the different front end on ours, as well as everything else as opposed to a TRUE, original SportsCoach. (This is a Coachmen model)

Found an owners manual for you here:

Folks, like myself, who have purchased a "New" Coachmen RV and are dealing with warranty issues -- not that I've had any (yet) .

Called Forest River and ask for some dealership recommendations for some repair to my 06 Coachmen Epic and was abruptly told to just take it to any local body shop. Most auto body shops in my area don't have a bay door bid enough to fit thru. So much for suggestions for orphan support from Forest River and my allegiance to FR
