The new Freelander features expanded storage. Selected slide models have a large rear storage compartment with three large access doors. Recessed molded storage areas inside the bay provide additional capacity. One of the storage covers converts into a freestanding table. Outside storage boxes are one-piece rotocast compartments with drains.The owner can hose the storage box out to clean it. Freelander comes in seven different floorplans, four of which have slide-outs. Selected models with slide-outs have an extra deep 25-inch slide. "We moved all of our slide rooms back three inches from the driver’s seat," said Hums. "This allows the driver to move his seat all the way back when the coach is in motion." All of the curtains are secured to the wall with touch fasteners to reduce the amount of movement inside the coach during travel. Interiors feature 6-foot-10 ceiling heights and extra tall 80-inch entrance doors. The tall ceiling height also means the cabover bunk is larger. Several models have an 80-inch long, residential size bed rather than the traditional 74-inch RV queen. In addition to the benefit of more room in bed, standard sheets and blankets fit the mattress. The 20-inch flat screen RV is secured to eliminate rattling when the RV is moving. "We also made heated holding tanks a standard feature," said Hums. "Now, we have a non-basement motorhome that you can take cold weather camping." The automotive-style cockpit is roomy, and the slim line dash console provides ample legroom when moving between the cab and the living area. The dash stereo is specifically designed for RVs with a cassette and CD player, a built-in weather band and Sirius Satellite radio capability. In addition, the buttons are large and easy to find.
Freelander utilizes Duratube full-length copper LP lines with double flared ends to ensure a tight seal and years of corrosion free use. This feature is standard on all Coachmen motorhomes. Its SureLine Electrical Harness provides color-coded wiring and specific wiring schematics to make service easier.The electrical connectors are high quality automotive. And, the wires are grouped and tucked into the framework under the coach, safe from road debris. The company's Even Cool air conditioning system is ducted through the crowned, vacuum-bonded roof. The system uses AMOCO insulated ductwork with radiused corners to provide maximum cooling efficiency. Coachmen builds the slide models on a Ford chassis with a 6.8L engine. The non-slide models come on a Chevrolet chassis with one floorplan offering a Ford option. Coachmen also offers a diesel option. All Freelanders come with a towing hitch with a seven-way plug. For 2007, Coachmen upped the weight rating of the hitch 30 percent from 3,500 lbs. to 5,000 lbs., allowing more options for toy hauling.
