Like Forest River, Coachman plays it very close to the vest when it comes to making their parts known. You may find a website in one of your own searches that has a parts list or catalog but it may not be authentic or accurate. This is a company-wide policy so there do not seem to be any exceptions to the rules. The story is the same for this Coachman RV model as well. You will have to go through one of their dealers to get the information you want if they are going to release that information. However, not one is for parts or contains any parts lists. They list many Coachman manuals for download there. We even checked our go-to manual website. That video may speak for all of Forest River’s brands. Unlike Forest River, Coachman does not put out a video talking about their lack of parts catalogs and lists. Or you need to contact the company that made the component, like Furrion, Dometic, etc., and get one from them. You have to go to the components manuals web page, which we linked to earlier, to find any parts list for specific components. We have checked one manual, not this model, and their ‘interactive’ booklet does not contain diagrams or parts lists. This list is not going to be in the manual for this model of RV. They say on their website that they have Coachman exterior parts. The parts outlet we linked to earlier does not seem to have an online checkout and you would have to find one of their stores through their store locator feature. Sometimes it is like pulling teeth to get any information from these types of RV companies. Other than that, you will have to go to a Coachman dealer to get any sort of list for your RV model. Then click on the part you need and you will get a selection of items along with the price. The menu on the left-hand side will tell you when you get to the exterior parts for this brand. Once you click that link, you need to scroll down somewhat. PDX RV LLC is one of the main RV parts companies and they claim to sell Coachman parts. You should be able to find one at this link. Some may be designed to work with your Coachman RV but until you search their stock, you won’t know. All they have in stock are generic RV replacement parts for specific RV components. We checked one parts outlet that does not say they are authorized by Coachman. They are only supposed to be available to the authorized parts dealers and the Coachman dealers themselves. But you will be hard-pressed to find one of these catalogs online. That is one theory and it may be the right one. They may want to protect their liability if anything should go wrong when a DIY mechanic makes an installation mistake. It may be due to liability reasons why both Forest River and Coachman do not place any parts lists, diagrams, catalogs, etc., on the internet. Your best bet is to use their component manual web page to find what you need. We have not found an independent parts outlet that advertises that they have one of these diagrams. You will find videos but those may not cover the different parts or where they are located. You will not find any diagrams inside of those booklets. Their owner’s manuals are set up exactly the same as the Forest River owner’s manuals. You will not find a single Coachman parts diagram on their website. If you want a parts diagram, you will have to go to this Coachman link, which takes you to the Forest River web page, and pick the component manual you need. They buy the components for their RVs from manufacturers and then assemble them at their plants. This company is a lot like Forest River in that they are more assembly than manufacturing-focused. Or you can bite the bullet and pay the dealer price for them at the local dealer or approved parts outlets. One problem with that is that those parts may be from the after-market marketplace and may not be as reliable as actual Coachman parts. You can check the different parts outlets that pop up in a general search. But you won’t find branded Coachman parts. If you try Amazon you may find parts for the different components Coachman installs in their various RVs. You will be hard-pressed to find a parts catalog and even any part outside of the Coachman network. Since they are owned by Forest River, they do not sell directly to the public. The company does not have a parts list or online store available to the public. The best place to find Coachman parts will be through their dealers and approved parts vendors.
