Design/Feature Flaws: -The SEA, three-piece, glass sliding door is a terrible design. It is awkward to use, impossible to clean and the track design incubates mold.

I believe a shower curtain would be a great improvement. -The standard plastic, Dometic brand, toilet seats that come with the unit, are very flimsy and cheap. We had to replace them with solid wooden toilet seats, two days after moving into our camper. -The Dometic electric awning has not worked without manual assistance since we brought it home.

It also does not properly cover the entrance, allowing rain to assault you as you enter/leave the camper. -The Dirt Devil central vacuum may sound like a great convenience, but I assure you it is not worth the hassle of using. The hose only reaches the extremities of the unit when constant force is being exerted upon it, and it scrapes and scratches everything you must fight and drag it past... I have resorted to using my residential vacuum, it is easier to haul it into the unit from the underpass every time I need to vacuum, rather than fight the hose.

-All of the LED dome lighting has had to be replaced/serviced. Some of them were overheating, some didn't work, some flickered on and off, some flashed like a strobe light. -The Lazy Boy, theater seating recliner, had a bent frame. The more we used it the worse it got.

Since the dealer decided they wanted to try and repair it, instead of replace it, we just got rid of it and replaced it ourselves. -The Whirlpool, convection microwave, works when it feels like it. Sometimes the light comes on when the door opens, sometimes it doesn't. If you see the light, it might heat your food.

-The Splendide clothes dryer, stopped heating, four months into use. -In freezing temperatures, the unit is impossible the keep warm. The electric space heater in the living room can barely keep the chill out and the central heating unit does nothing to keep the frigid air from pouring in around the slides and cabinets. -In extremely hot temperatures, the not-so-quiet, whispering air conditioners cannot keep up.

The poor insulation of this unit ensures that any attempt to keep it cool during 90+ degree temperatures, is a farce. I have attempted to focus on the flaws I feel are inherent to the design and features each of these units possesses, and left out many issues we have had with our unit in particular.

Since every unit has it's issues, or so I am told by the people who sold us this nightmare. Overall, this unit is: manufactured with cheap materials by people with no work ethic, it is sold by liars, and the warranty work you will need is orchestrated and executed by ***, who do not seem to comprehend that they are in 'customer service' for a living!

Reason of review: Poor customer service.

Monetary Loss: $6000.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Coachman Camper with leaky plumbing... I purchased from Forest River, Sun RV-Dealer, a Clipper Camper back in October 14, of 2017.

Purchased the water pressure regulator, water filter too. I added clean city water to the camper and soon after a couple of water leaks appeared. One leak at the shower tub and another at the hot water tub much later after adding some water into the water tanks.

I still have not to use the Camper since then due to warranty issues in Florida. 1-23-2018.
