Coachmen clipper rv reviews3/14/2024 ![]() It is a perfect setup without going into a full-sized trailer or RV. The camper only took about 45 min to set up completely, and it was roughly the same amount of time to clean up and properly pack it back down when we were done. It took 9 years of preference points to draw the tag, and I want all my time, energy, and focus on hunting. I am not a big fan of setting up and maintaining campsites on challenging public hunts like this one. As a first-time camper owner and only having stayed in one a couple of times, it sure is nice to have most stuff ready at all times. This camper has an impressive amount of storage in the slide-out compartments at the front. Read more about the Honda EU2200i Inverter Generator. It has lots of options, and these generators run very quietly. With the Tri-Fuel, I can start with natural gas, and if that goes out (as many reported happened in Texas), I can switch to propane and even siphon gas out of our vehicles if necessary. I liked the idea of having a couple of these generators as a backup for my home in the event of a power outage after having massive outages across Texas in early 2021. I could have camped out there for a month on the propane I had. I brought about 120 lbs since I had no experience running a generator on propane. Amazingly, we only went through about 10 lbs of propane over the 4 days. I installed a Hutch Mountain Generator Tri-Fuel Conversion Kit on the Honda EU2200i and ran the generator on propane for the full hunt. I powered the entire camper every evening on a 4-day hunt on a single Honda EU2200i Inverter Generator. I would also like to put a tank gauge on the water tank eventually. I started bringing extra water in a 6 Gallon Igloo Portable Water Storage Container, so we still have some if the main tank runs empty. We ran out of water right at the end of the last day, and overall we were impressed with everything. I could take a quick shower every night on a four-day hunt and had a friend who showered several times too. This camper has all the amenities of a home as well. I am 6’ 4” tall and was very comfortable in this camper and can stand entirely up with boots on. Whenever I set the Coachmen Clipper 1285SST, everyone tells me they can not believe how big it gets. This camper, paired with my generator, also enables me to work on reviews in the field. It works great to stay ready so I can head out quickly for a hunt, reducing prep time. I live in a neighborhood with an HOA, and this camper folds down small enough that my neighbors cannot see it, so I can store it at home. Our Coachmen reviews have recently been updated and discuss their best and worst models.This popup camper seems like there is an incredible amount of space and storage for something so small that it fits in my side yard. As a result, Coachmen buyers will benefit from some research beforehand to weed out the winners from the also-rans. On the other hand, many models have been plagued with fit and finish complaints, resulting in low initial customer satisfaction. In fact, we like their Class B Leprechaun, and the Adrenaline Travel Trailer has proven a popular choice for first time buyers. To be fair, Coachmen does build some decent models. ![]() Do your research now and you’ll buy the right RV for you -the first time. Everything from Class A motorhomes to Fifth Wheels now get pride of place. The affordable, small, entry-level pop-ups and lightweight campers they built their name on, for example, are now relegated to the low-rent district at the very bottom of their home page. As a result, their lineup has grown in leaps and bounds, but their attention to detail hasn’t kept pace.īuilding an RV for every type of RVer has pulled Coachmen out of their wheelhouse. Like a restaurant with an eight page menu, Coachmen has been trying too hard to offer something for everyone in recent years. In fact, somewhere along the way, Coachmen RV lost their focus.
