2012 Coachman Freelander 4x4 Class C RV :: Featured Classified

I’ve lived on the road for almost 15 years, and it’s been one of the best decisions of my life. During this time, I’ve crossed paths with thousands of inspiring overlanders who’ve helped me to better understand the realities of vehicle travel. One key lesson is that while there’s no such thing as the perfect overland rig, there are platforms that deliver across the board. To this end, cue today’s 2012 Coachman Freelander 4×4 Class C RV (110,600 miles), which has been reimagined from the ground up for exploration. This rig was built with intention by an active and respected member of the community and carries forward all the comforts associated with a traditional RV while introducing the capability and durability of a 4WD. This desirable configuration is underpinned by Ford’s legendary E-350, which is ubiquitous (ensures parts, accessories, and services are readily available), exceptionally dependable, beloved by the aftermarket, and enjoys access to on-demand 4WD conversions. Today’s offering has been converted by industry leader U-Joint Offroad; this service uprates the E-Series with a heavy-duty 4WD system, high and low-range, manual locking front hubs, Dana axles, front locker, and more (it’s worth noting that U-Joint inspected and replace/updated worn parts in 2024). This rugged chassis is topped with a fully equipped, four-season-ready habitat that boasts impressive amenities and has been upfitted for modern-day living. It’s a drool-worthy package that balances everyday driveability (fits in a standard parking space) with the comforts/amenities of home.

From the Seller:

“I recently quit my job and decided to buy a remote-capable RV to take a few months to explore with my dogs. Bought this E-350 given the prior ownership provenance, upgrades, and unique capabilities (smallest class C footprint that will fit in a standard parking spot, but still have every amenity needed for remote comfort). Purchased the rig in Texas, drove it back to Colorado, grabbed my dogs, and headed north. I then received an unexpected job offer I couldn’t pass up. So now looking to sell or partial trade to downsize into more of a weekend explorer. Full-sized trucks and Toyotas are interesting. Will get the camper detailed; just haven’t had a chance to do that yet with the new job.”

The E-350 is fitted with a 5.4-liter V8 that produces 310 horsepower and 364 pound-feet of torque (range is provided via a 40-gallon fuel tank). A dependable motor is matched with excellent all-terrain capability thanks to a U-Joint Offroad conversion. This uprates the E-Series with a heavy-duty 4WD system, high and low-range, armor, a 6-inch lifted and uprated suspension, Dana axles, a front locker, and manual locking front hubs.
