Owned the 319DS for seven years; multiple road trips to state parks and visits to Flordia. Three things I LOVE about this motorhome; 1. It's CRAZY the amount of storage the unit has. The entire back of the coach was storage. There were 4 covers within the storage are that you could remove and have even more. Storage could be accessed from either side or back; 2. THis coach has LOTS of room to walk back and forth from the couch, dining area, kitchen, bedroom and bath EVEN WITH THE SLIDES IN! I've seen lots of coaches this size that donlt have have the walking room this one does; 3. Direct View TV that lowers into the cabinet for even more prep space in the kitchen. No swivel over the bunk, no crooning your head for hours to the left or right watching a movie, the unit is directly across from the couch. I could go on with other likes like the outdoor entertainment, the outdoor kitchen with sink and large prep area and fridge. Okay, now 3 dislikes(this was hard); 1. Shower. Its a radius type, but kind of in the bedroom. Wish it was redesigned to be more of a rectangular shape; 2. Toilet, though porcelin and doable, I wish the space it sits in was a little bigger; not a deal breaker but not a prime position for me personally :) and 3. Wish the televator for the television in the living area lower to a fluch position rather than just abopve. It creates kind of a counter rise which is okay, but flush would have been better.Again, I could go on about some of the "upgrades" that were standard on this coach like automatic leveling, a huge 21ft awning; 15KW AC unit with a heat pump to name a few, but suffice ti to say that it was everything I had hoped for and then some! it was perfect for us then and never had any major issues.

We bought the coach new in 2013. We have driven about 10000 miles in it and one trip to Washington DC. It is comfortable, easy to manuever, tasteful and family friendly decor and layout. Plenty of sleeping room for 8. The fireplace is a wonderful touch for those chilly evenings. The outdoor kitchen is so handy for washing hands, preparing meals. The outdoor frig is wonderful. We will always have one from now on. The 20ft awning is great for sitting out even on rainy days to watch a movie on the outdoor TV. Love the outdoor shower when you come up from the lake swimming where you can rinse off. We have thouroughly enjoyed this coach. Would recommend for families, couples and new to RV. Many extras like the BIG foot leveling system levels the coach with just the touch of a button. Black water tank rinsers, freeze prevention tank warmers, plus much much more make this take easy to care for and full of luxury items that are only in upper end coaches.

Bought it in 2013 brand new. Have traveled entire US an d across Canada. The majority of our travel was in winter conditions. Grate RV, however,have a major lead in the bed over the driver which has rotted the support wood. I can not find the leak and had to remove the wood that supports base of the bed. Has anyone had a similar problem? Have not been able to contact coachmen of information and assistance. Any one have a good phone number for them?

We had issues with our leprechaun from the moment we brought it home. There were no guts to our AC unit. Basically we had a thermostat on the wall and a non-functioning unit. The paint was put on over top of the caulk which would only lead to it flaking off. There were numerous leaks over the cab. They never caulked around the windows when they were put in. Now five years later, we are paying over $6,000 for water damage repairs for something that just wasn't built right to begin with. I would never, ever, ever think about buying a Coachmen product again.

I think it has great amenities and easy handling on the road! The cameras make towing easy. It has some great features but could use a bit more storage in the kitchen area. In hindsight I would prefer another storage area where the fireplace sits! It is however a great motor home.

We love this RV. It is perfect for those days when you're stuck inside during the rain. There is enough room to relax, kick back and watch TV in the living area or bedroom or just relax and read a book.It is not too small, nor too big ... and it's like driving a large van! Very easy ride, and will go almost anywhere!!The exterior camp kitchen, fridge and entertainment center are great for outdoor living!!The quality of the coach, the drivability, and all of the extras make it almost perfect!!!

This is our RV and we have loved it since buying it new. We had not traveled by RV before. Very easy to drive and maintain. This is a four-season motorhome, and we added some features for more comfort - included. We carefully selected this RV for our experience, needs, travel, living and storage. Truly an exceptional RV and price!
