What 2006 Coachmen Cross Country owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
We bought a new 06 coachmen cross country motorhome in oct. 07. The steering and handling of this mh is unsafe. It "wonders" all over the road and sways real bad. No control. The rv dealer says this is within approved guidelines. We have done some comparison shopping and test driving and do not find this same problem in other mh. We feel this is dangerous to us and others on the road. We are waiting for coachman to advise. So far they want the mh in chino ca for several other defects such as repeated water leaks, engine leaks and more.
