We're on our second Leprechaun. Had a 2008 311KS, traded it in for our current 2017 311FS. Been happy with them both. Usual issues to deal with upon taking delivery that the dealer took care of or I did easily enough once we got in a few trips.

We just got a 24 foot Leprechaun, we have had it for 2000 miles. It is great I am impressed. Question ask??

Sully2 it's been a while since this post was started... but thought I would ask . What did you finally decide. We found ( for the ones local to us in north east ) SO far the Leprechaun is the best quality .. thought the others; Jayco, thor etc.. seemed to have less quality in them .. thoughts ??? Still on our search for a GOOD class C around 24-26feet !

Since the 260 is one we're going to look at this week, can you be more specific as to why you were not impressed?

We sold our Super C and want to downsize. Coachmen seems to have some nice features, but I'm going by manufacturers info so far.

Well I do like Coachmen coaches, but know what you mean by underwhelmed. For me they feel "generic" but not bad whatsoever. I like to see personality. 😛

I am looking at a 24 Leprechaun. The slider is a full wall have you had any trouble with it, does it slide well? Also is the bed split in the middle, how does it sleep? Thanks

On a side note as mentioned by Jackha1949,Valve extensions make it a lot easier and faster to fill and check your air pressure. Do not put the screw on extensions,they are prone to leak and cause many problems.

Get solid valve stems.


The Tire Man Kit comes with the flow thru caps and there are 6 valve stems,instead of just 4. Metal valve stems are a must for all wheels.


These are from the Original Inventor

Thanks mucho Jack!

One more thing to add! I had the dealership add valve extensions on the rear dual wheels as the stock valves were almost impossible to reach. We only had a few issues that had to be fixed, one was the electric water heater didn't work, there was a scratch on the front of the refrig and the bathroom mirror. Our dealer was great and did all the repairs. I did pay for the valve extensions. Let me know if you have any questions I will be more than glad to answer them. Happy RVing 🙂

We bought a 2017 Coachmen Leprechaun last October and we really love it. We were full-timers in a 40' Itasca Horizon and just gave up full-timing after 6 years and settled in Florida. We still wanted to RV and travel but didn't need the 40' class A so we decided on a class C. We really liked the 260 Leprechaun with the Ford 450. We really like the floor plan and we have the side by side recliners which makes it nice for relaxing and viewing the 32" TV. It also has a nice dinette and with the 2 slides its really nice. The bathroom is a bit small but very functional. Two really nice features I like are the self leveling jacks and the air shocks in the rear. Very few class Cs have leveling jacks let alone self leveling. We have taken it on a few shake down cruises and so far we really love the motorhome. It was quite a jump from a 40' class A diesel pusher to a gas class C but so far it has been a good choice for us. We now rent a house in Florida and the Leprechaun gives a nice escape unit. Good Luck in your search.
