In this inspection video, I walk you through a 2017 Coachman Freelander my client was seriously considering for full-time living—and I’m telling you, this is one you need to watch all the way to the end. Right off the bat I found an active leak under the kitchen sink, and it wasn’t “just a leak”—there was rot. This is also the second Freelander I’ve inspected with the exact same leak in the same spot, which is a big deal. I used my flashlight and camera to look as far back as I could, and there were stains and rotted wood that showed this wasn’t a new problem. Up on the roof, the front cap was wavy and delaminated across the whole area where the cap meets the roof trim. It may have started as a manufacturing defect, but with patched sealant and more holes along that seam, water intrusion is absolutely on the table. In the rear, I found signs of water intrusion near the cargo door, loose hardware, missing light caps, and both brake lights pulling away with exposed holes—prime spots for water to get in. Add in tires with checking (not even five years old), an actively leaking rear differential (needs an auto mechanic), expired CO/propane detectors, and poor fit-and-finish issues, and in my opinion this rig was a risky buy for a full-timer. My client ultimately walked away—and I was very happy to see her do it.
